From the press release...
that Peter shared with us, it is clear that Luigi Macaluso will retain control of the company even if the stake of PPR increases so I see only positive effect to the Sowing group.
We have even seen acquisitions from very big companys but still see the small companys management to control things.
So i wish all will go well for both companies and as vlkchang said to win more recognition that GP truly deserves.

Still not so sure.....
What I really don't want to see is something like Gucci using high end GP movements like triple bridges tourbillon. The other thing I don't want to see is GP getting exhausted to make base movements for other companies of the group and at the same time, l...
Hoping thebest for the Sowind Group and brands....
Hi, And of course for our friends over there, what is the prinicpal for me! Out of that I'm happy to see that GP is slightly becoming a watch brand from Brittany! OK very slightly! Cheers Dje
WHICH ONE IS THE NEXT ???
SWATCH GROUP... RICHEMONT GROUP....Zenith... HUBLOT... now Girard Perregaux ... I always think somebody from Wall Street should step in Swiss Horology Business to acquire PP, AP, GP through one big deal and create a 3P company ... HeHeHe.. now we could on...
