Polo Limited, one of Nigeria's foremost luxury goods retailer, has reinforced its strategic partnership with renowned Swiss watchmaker Franck Muller following the landmark first official visit of the Maison's Global Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Nicholas Rudaz, to Nigeria.
Hosted by Mr. John Obayuwana, Chief Executive Officer of Polo Limited, the visit marked a significant milestone in a partnership spanning over 15 years, reaffirming both organisations' commitment to authentic luxury, exceptional craftsmanship and the continued development of Nigeria's luxury market.
The visit, which featured engagements across Lagos and Abuja, included high-level business meetings, boutique visits, exclusive client experiences and a private dinner, strengthening the relationship between the Swiss watchmaking Maison and Nigeria's growing community of luxury collectors.
