Rolex is planning a $1 billion factory in Bulle, Switzerland, according to Swiss media reports.

The project is expected to be completed in 2029.

RTS public TV reports that the plant will create 2,000 jobs.

Rolex has not commented on the plans. But Oliver Curty, president of the Fribourg government, was quoted saying, “A project of exceptional magnitude is on track in Bulle with the prestigious company Rolex.”

There’s no word on what specific functions will be performed at the factory.

She Wanted to Spend More Time with Her Kids. She Called Wilkerson.

Your children are precious. More precious than gold? Absolutely! Just ask Lesley Ann Davis, owner of Lesley Ann Jewels, an independent jewelry store that — until the end of 2023 — had quite a following in Houston, Texas. To spend more time with her four sons, all in high school, she decided to close her store. Luckily, she was familiar with Wilkerson and called them as soon as she knew she wanted to move on to bigger, better and more family-focused things. Was she happy with her decision? Yes, she was. Says Davis, “Any owner looking to make that life change, looking to retire, looking to close, looking for a pause in their career, I would recommend Wilkerson. Hands down!”
