Karl-Friedrich Scheufele (born 5 February 1958 in Pforzheim) is co-president of Chopard along with his sister, Caroline, and president of La Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud.[1] He is the son of Karl and Karin Scheufele, German entrepreneurs who acquired Chopard in 1963.[2] In 2005, he established the Fleurier Quality Foundation, an independent Swiss watch certification body, and he founded the L.U.C.EUM watch museum in Fleurier a year later.[3]

He set up a wine sales company, La Galerie des Arts du Vin, at the end of the 1990s and acquired a number of Caveaux de Bacchus boutiques in Switzerland. In 2012, he bought the Château Monestier-la-Tour wine estate,[4] which produces 150,000 bottles per year in a variety of AOPs in France.
