WATCHMAKING & LUXURY · GENEVA-BASED, WORLDWIDE REACH
Every assignment is led by a senior consultant, from strategic thinking through to implementation. A flat structure that keeps communication direct, decision paths short and counsel consistent.
Founded in Geneva, at the heart of Swiss watchmaking, 289 Consulting draws on a network built over decades – media, journalists, creators and local partners in Switzerland and internationally.
Years at the heart of watchmaking have made precision and rigour second nature. It is a way of working we bring to every assignment – in watches, jewellery, hospitality and lifestyle.
Press and communications are where 289 Consulting began – and remain the foundation of what we do. Lasting visibility needs substance behind it: a clear story, a credible voice and relationships built over time.
Print and digital, in Switzerland and key markets, from product launches to corporate and executive communications – knowing what makes a story and who it matters to.
Press releases and press kits, corporate profiles, brand content and launch narratives – finding and sharpening the angle that turns information into story.
Press conferences, launches, manufacture and showroom visits – organised from A to Z. TV production and access to broadcasters in Switzerland and internationally.
Interview prep, media training and spokesperson support – refining messages, handling interviews and becoming comfortable with the press and on camera.
Established partners on the ground in leading luxury and media markets – local knowledge and deep relationships, aligned with a shared strategy and voice.
Communications planning, editorial calendars and media perception audits. Coverage monitoring and media impact measurement with Launchmetrics®.
Who speaks, who listens and why they should care. It comes down to relevance and credibility: finding the content creators that make sense for a brand and building relationships with them over time.
Access to established names and emerging voices – opening conversations and creating opportunities that lead somewhere.
Knowing who makes sense for a brand – and spotting the content creators with whom there is genuinely something to build.
Every investment thoroughly negotiated, tracked and weighed – keeping spend focused on collaborations that deliver.
Lefty® tracks performance and measures impact – AI takes the analysis further, turning lessons learned into sharper decisions.
Dedicated Unit
289 Consulting’s in-house influence unit brings the expertise to distinguish exposure from impact.
Important decisions don’t always come with an obvious answer. We bring an outside perspective, experience and judgement to assess the situation, weigh the options and make the right call.
Defining where a brand stands, shaping its messaging – setting a framework that gives communications coherence and direction.
Saying what needs to be said, with candour and judgement – sound advice, not comfortable answers.
Thinking through the scenarios and knowing how to respond – real-time counsel, crisis management and control of the message.
Giving ideas and messages time to take hold and build – and knowing when the brand and context call for them to evolve.
Metrics is one thing. Understanding what the results mean is another. We combine quantitative data with qualitative analysis to uncover actionable insights and better inform the next steps. To date, 289 Consulting is the only agency in the sector using Launchmetrics®, Lefty® and Cision®.
Media Impact Value™ (MIV) puts a monetary value on media coverage. Each result is weighted according to the standing of the source – measuring the quality of coverage, not just the volume.
Earned Media Value (EMV), the social equivalent of MIV, measures value through reach, engagement and ad equivalency – showing what a campaign actually delivered on social media.
Comprehensive media monitoring – print, online, TV, radio, podcasts and social media – for tracking a brand, its competitors and emerging topics, and placing each piece of coverage in context.
Data does not replace expertise. It strengthens it. Our AI tools allow us to extract greater value from data. Combined with our knowledge of brands, media and markets, they sharpen our analysis.
Marine and her team worked with us on our relaunch strategy as well as on the execution of our press preview and relaunch event in LA. Her insight, experience and relationships were invaluable. Marine has an encyclopedic knowledge of the Swiss watch world and is an eager collaborator and friend in all that we’ve done and continue to do. She is both talented and a joy to work with.
Beyond just providing press advice, Marine has been instrumental in our strategy and in various aspects of what we are doing including in recruiting talent in non-press connected areas of the company. We are tremendously grateful to her and her team for all of their work and plan to have a long and continued relationship with them.
With unparalleled professionalism, unwavering commitment, and an entrepreneurial mindset, the team at 289 Consulting, led by Marine Lemonnier and Estelle d’Hubert, possesses a rare talent: they consistently give each client the feeling they are at the center of their expertise, their efficiency, and their attention.

Phillips Watches works with 289 Consulting for its sharp understanding of luxury storytelling, combined with a genuinely human approach. The agency brings strategic clarity, deep industry relationships, and a personal touch that reflects Phillips’ values, ensuring the brand’s voice remains authentic, authoritative, and closely connected to its global community.
It started as an unlikely pairing: a premium all‑inclusive lifestyle brand like Club Med and a PR agency rooted in watchmaking. Not the obvious choice — but a deliberate one.
289C comes from a world where time is measured, mastered, engineered: precision, discipline, luxury, impact. We come from a world where time is meant to be felt, stretched, even forgotten — where freedom itself becomes the ultimate luxury.
At first glance, these philosophies diverge. In reality, they create a powerful tension. Because when one side captures every second, and the other reinvents what those seconds are worth, something shifts.
Through Marine, Ophélie and Eva, 289 Consulting brings structure, sharpness and an exacting sense of luxury that elevates everything we do — aligning the right story, at the right moment, in the right place, with near watchmaking precision. And in doing so, they don’t just help us manage time — they help us give it back, with more meaning, more impact.
That’s where innovation happens: not in alignment, but in contrast — when precision meets freedom, together, we redefine the rules.
Marine and her team have been invaluable in the relaunch of our brand. Their deep understanding of the market, its needs and expectations, together with a capacity to make an impact that is rare in the industry, has delivered results beyond anything we had anticipated.
The collaboration also stands out on a personal level. We exchange ideas, challenge one another and work together to make the best possible decisions. Their support is always well judged, relevant and carefully calibrated to our needs. Their openness, warmth and candour have created the ideal working environment – one that is as constructive as it is effective.

Partnering with Marine is like handing over the helm of a legendary sailboat to an exceptional navigator: she charts the course, reads the wind, avoids the storms… and takes you where few know how to go.
At Corum, we entrusted her with our image, our voice, our communication strategy. And she didn’t just “manage” it — she orchestrated it with elegance, precision, and boldness, like a true regatta skipper.
Marine brings a clear vision, rare discipline, and an innate sense of balance between heritage and the future. She grasped the soul of Corum — its codes, its silences too — and turned it into a narrative that is powerful, precise, and cohesive.
With her, nothing is left to chance: every word, every gesture, every moment is considered, refined, and executed to the finest detail. Around her, a tight-knit, agile, and committed team. Together, they built a global strategy that is sharp, effective, and elevated — spanning press, influence, messaging, and visibility.
Thanks to Marine and her team, Corum has regained clarity, strength, and renewed desirability. A heartfelt thank you for the mastery, intensity, and perfect alignment with the soul of our Maison.

Having had the privilege of working with Marine at TAGHeuer and the opportunity to appreciate her services, her dedication and her gift for communication, I couldn’t think of anyone else to manage the communications and events for my new brand, BIVER.
The collaboration with BIVER began about a year ago and has guided us through the many twists and turns of watch communication with great success and efficiency.
Her interpersonal skills, her close circle, her numerous friendly and professional relationships have made all the difference and have allowed us to profile our company at a level that its size had previously prohibited. Thanks to Marine, the brand has truly resonated throughout the specialized press and the press in general.
If the BIVER brand exists today at an international level, and not only in the watchmaking environment, we owe it to Marine who not only advises and guides us when it comes to press relations but is also the source of precious counsel at the management level in general. We are proud of her contribution to our development and success.
Our team heard about 289 in April of 2025, while we were in the midst of a mad dash to launch our new Swiss Independent watch brand Stollenwurm.
We had heard these two things:
1. 289 is the best
2. …but they might not be taking on new clients, so they are probably unavailable.
Marine welcomed us with warmth and openness for an initial conversation, which soon grew into a collaboration on branding — and later, full PR representation, specifically around our global launch at Geneva Watch Days 2025.
To say that our launch was a dream come true would be an understatement.
Marine and her team are full of love and passion, and they delivered an incredible press kit followed by dozens of journalist interviews, among other introductions and connections.
I cannot say enough good about this globally unique, perfectly connected, passionate group of professionals, which was able to take an unknown brand like ours, and launch it into the top tier of watchmakers.
I would be remiss not to specially thank John, for his magical creative and authoring skills, and Eva, for her immense network, persuasiveness, and ability to deliver.
Everyone that I have ever spoken to loves 289 and their wonderful people.
I do too.

Launching an independent watch brand, especially one like Renaud Tixier, which brings together two renowned watchmakers – an experienced master and a talented young artisan – certainly relies on a robust product strategy, a skilled and cohesive team, and a supportive environment. However, it is equally crucial to communicate our ambitions clearly and effectively to the highly competitive and discerning watch market.
It was evident that we needed the support of a capable communications team, one as adept at listening and adapting to our emerging yet determined company as they were in offering suitable and innovative solutions.
289 Consulting was pivotal to our success. Since the official launch of the RT brand three months ago, we have managed to build the brand’s credibility and legitimacy, which is now reflecting positively in our commercial performance.

When we started working on the communication of the brand Gerald Charles founded in 2000 by Mr. Gerald Charles Genta, we wondered who could work with us as a real partner to spread the voice of the Brand. We had no doubt and chose the 289 PR firm founded by Marine Lemonnier, undoubtedly the right person to work with due to her experience in the world of watchmaking communication, her dedication and interpersonal relationships.
We started to collaborate with 289 one and a half year ago and the teamwork we have created –with Mousse Jaquier leading the team – was absolutely winning thanks to the precious advice and the key introductions realized for Gerald Charles. The connections and the works that has been done worldwide together has brought the Brand to a higher level and in one year we have reached incredible results of visibility and, above all credibility.
Being featured with utmost interest to the most important watch, and not only, press environment is not easy to achieve, and above all not in such a short period of time. I’d also like to spend an important word for 298’s whole team which has always demonstrated dedication, attentiveness and above all professionalism.
We entrusted 289 Consulting with the relaunch of Favre Leuba in 2024. Marine, Estelle, and the entire team fulfilled our expectations. Thanks to their exceptional network, we reached the right target audience and connected with key industry players. They quickly grasped our needs, the brand’s DNA, and the core messages, seamlessly translating them into a compelling and professional communication strategy.
I especially appreciate their quick response times and their hands-on, pragmatic, and straightforward approach. Marine has built a talented and highly collaborative team, making 289 Consulting a pleasure to work with. Best of all, they are real, down-to-earth professionals—highly skilled yet approachable, without any pretense, and always a joy to work with.

En 2015, elle décide de prendre son envol en tant qu’indépendante et rejoint 289 Consulting en 2018. Elle commence ainsi à travailler pour différentes marques et gère, selon les mandats, leur presse Suisse ou Internationale.
En 2018, tout en continuant à gérer ses divers clients, elle devient Responsable de la Presse du Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève.
Dynamique, rapide, autonome et efficace, la communication, les valeurs et les relations humaines sont pour elle la base de tous les succès.
Avec 20 ans d’expérience dans l’Industrie du luxe, allant des grands groupes aux start-ups, Estelle d’Hubert apporte un regard extérieur basé sur des réalisations concrètes.

Cette polyvalence lui apporte une vision à 360° des codes et attentes de cet univers.
En 2015, elle a pris le rôle de responsable de la communication pour la maison horlogère Czapek & Cie, puis Schwarz Etienne, consolidant une perspective entrepreneuriale. Son expertise en communication et en horlogerie lui permet d’interagir avec succès tant auprès de petites structures que dans les grandes entreprises.

John apporte presque trente ans d’expérience en tant que stratège et concepteur-rédacteur, collaborant avec des agences de renom au Royaume-Uni et aux États-Unis sur certaines des plus grandes marques du monde, dans des secteurs ultra-concurrentiels. Dénicher l’essence même du produit et de la philosophie d’un client pour la tisser dans un récit significatif qui touche spécifiquement son public, pour lui, cela ne vieillit jamais. Ce qui le fascine à chaque fois, c’est « ce moment où l’idée se transforme en mots, quand les caractères du ‘lorem ipsum’ s’agencent comme par magie sous mes yeux ». Une heureuse coïncidence a réuni John et 289 en 2021 et il considère chaque jour comme une nouvelle opportunité d’allier créativité et stratégie pour établir des liens significatifs, afin que les récits de nos clients ne soient pas seulement écoutés — ils sont ressentis.

Biography
A career start in sports – youngest press secretary at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul with the French Riding Federation, press secretary of the French teams), then Coordinator of TV and Radio/ORTO 92 at the Olympic Winter Games in Albertville in 1992.
Marine Lemonnier joins the CANAL+ Sports Department in 1996 as Head of Communications (Europe’s largest sports editorial team with 180 journalists and on-screen legends the likes of Michel Denisot, Charles Bietry, Thierry Gilardi, Grégoire Margotton, Michel Platini – and with ground-breaking production resources in the stadiums to maximise impact).
Summer Olympics in Atlanta 1996, 1998 Football World Cup, 1999 Rugby World Cup, live weekly broadcasts of the biggest football matches in Europe, the biggest rugby competitions, the Formula 1 seasons (including the launch of the first pay-per-view service in Monaco, basketball with the NBA in the USA, the biggest golf tournaments, and the mythical Paris Saint-Germain football club is just down the road… For over 10 years, Marine Lemonnier is at the pulse of high-level international sports, promoting the brand and business strategy of CANAL+.
In 1998, she is nominated for the Paris Press Relations Grand Prix.
Soon after, she becomes CANAL+ Group’s Corporate and Financial Communications Officer (Coordination of European subsidiaries, Mergers & Acquisitions, Annual Reports, Coordination with Universal Studios in Los Angeles …), then Communications Manager of CANALSATELLITE (first platform of cable television in Europe with 450 TV channels & services).
In 2005, Marine Lemonnier moves to Switzerland and enters the world of High Watchmaking at Vacheron Constantin, part of the Richemont Group.
In 2010, already then legendary Jean-Claude Biver calls on her to join him as HUBLOT’s International PR Manager, to develop and implement an ambitious marketing plan and support the brand’s annual double-digit growth.
In 2015, she follows Jean-Claude Biver to TAG Heuer. The mission: to reposition and rejuvenate the brand with a sustained event marketing strategy (F1 with Red Bull Racing, Monaco Grand Prix, Patrick Dempsey, Cara Delevingne, Bella Hadid, Ronaldo, David Guetta, Chris Hemsworth, Manchester United, One Republic, etc …). Among the highlights, the launch of the TAG Heuer smartwatch in collaboration with GOOGLE and INTEL (qualified as perhaps the biggest launch of the Swiss watch industry in 2015 according to Business Watches, achieving the equivalent of CHF 800 million in editorial coverage, in addition to 147 TV channels reporting on the watch within 15 days of the New York launch conference).
In July 2017, Marine Lemonnier arrives at ZENITH, again with Jean-Claude Biver, to join freshly minted CEO Julien Tornare on an ambitious challenge. The team at ZENITH has 3 months to organise the launch of the DEFY LAB watch with the all-new Sémon Oscillator. It is the most important press conference ever in the history of Le Locle. More than 220 journalists from all over the world, and more than 300 guests from within the industry converge in the valley to discover the watchmaking innovation. Shortly thereafter ZENITH’s invention receives the coveted Innovation Award at the 17th Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève.
In March 2018, Marine Lemonnier creates 289 Consulting and collaborates with institutions and several brands in high watchmaking.

In 2015, she struck out on her own and soon counted Haute Horlogerie brands as her clients for which, depending on the mandate, she managed Swiss or international press relations. She also helped to organise classical music concerts, inter alia for the Crescendo con la Musica Foundation in Geneva.
In 2018, she added the Grand prix d’Horlogerie de Genève to her portfolio, handling relations with the Swiss and international press as well as the event’s social networks.
Enterprising and energetic, quick on her feet, a self-starter and efficient, she holds communication, a sense of values and human relations to be at the core of all success.
20 years of experience in the luxury sector, within large organizations as well as start-ups, enable Estelle d’Hubert to contribute a deep and broad perspective based on results achieved in the field.
Estelle began her journey with the Richemont Group at Cartier in Paris and London, then at Vacheron Constantin in Geneva, in the client services and marketing departments, where she met the expectations of demanding customers. She then worked on product presentation, both in prestigious boutiques and for exhibitions. This versatility affords her a 360° understanding of this universe’s codes and drivers.
In 2015, after 10 years with a luxury group, Estelle moved to Neuchâtel where she dove into the world of independent watchmakers, as head of communications for a new watchmaker, Czapek & Cie. Here she gained an entrepreneurial perspective and a deep understanding of the stakes and challenges involved. Soon thereafter, another independent watch company, Schwarz Etienne, became a client, too. Estelle continued building a clientele of independent brands, consolidating her expertise in this space.
Estelle joined the 289 Consulting team in July 2021. She has extensive experience in communication and watchmaking, and is as comfortable working with a small organizations as with large corporates. With a natural inclination towards external relations, she is absolutely at ease in working with and expressing herself in all forms of communication and media, including social networks, with the sensibility for the human touch at the core of the job.

Her professional portfolio includes the orchestration of high-profile events on an international scale, the establishment of strong relationships with the international press, celebrities, and influencers, as well as the leadership of bespoke collaborations with renowned figures. Her strategic approach has resulted in a significant enhancement of the visibility and profile of the brands with which she has collaborated.
Marie holds a Bachelor’s degree in digital marketing and communication, with a specialization in creative management. She has worked in environments where creation, writing, and craftsmanship intersect—shaped by a family background that naturally drew her to watchmaking, writing, and creative worlds.
She honed her expertise in public relations through several experiences at Patek Philippe, where she managed direct international markets, coordinated subsidiaries, and oversaw event projects, particularly in the realm of high craftsmanship.
Her career continued at a public relations and public affairs agency, then in Paris at Vivienne Westwood, where she contributed to showroom management, press relations, and support for VIPs and celebrities.
She now brings this diverse experience at the intersection of luxury, creativity, and public relations to her new role at 289 Consulting.

Recently, she joined the 289 Consulting team as a PR & Influence Coordinator, where she channels her passion and expertise into shaping impactful communication strategies for leading brands.
After completing a preparatory course in French literature (Hypokhâgne and Khâgne), Eva pursued further education in Geneva, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Public Relations and Communication. Her passion for literature and writing prompted her to secure an internship in journalism and communication, notably with the Swiss magazines EYES MAGAZINE and SUR LA TERRE, for which she authored several articles that were published.

John brings close to three decades of experience working as a strategist and copywriter with leading agencies in the UK and the US on some of the world’s greatest brands, in the most competitive sectors. Finding that nugget in the client’s product and ethos and weaving it into a meaningful narrative that clicks with a particular audience – it never gets old. What never fails to give him a kick, though, is “that moment when the idea becomes words, when the ‘lorem ipsum’ characters magically rearrange themselves before my eyes.” Pure serendipity brought John and 289 together in 2021 and he sees each day as a new chance to match creativity with strategy and create connections that matter, so that our clients’ stories aren’t just heard—they’re felt.
