It looks like Apple is hiring a number of market experts and
influencers for its rumored iWatch wearable. Just a few weeks ago, there were
reports that the Cupertino-based company has asked the help of several top
athletes including Kobe
Bryant to help test its iWatch.

This week, a Tag Heuer Sales executive is reportedly joining
Apple to help make the company’s upcoming wearable a success. According to LVMH’s
Jean Claude Biver in an interview with CNBC that a sales director at its Tag
Heuer wing has recently signed a contract with Apple.
The said executive was later reported by 9to5Mac as Patrick
Pruniaux, Tag Heuer’s vice president of sales and retail. This could mean that
Apple might be targeting the high-end market for the iWatch in contrast to current
wearables.
The Apple iWatch is expected to be unveiled in Q3 2014 and
will have a heavy focus on fitness with numerous sensors that are all
integrated with the company’s HealthKit
Hub.
