We see ourselves as a progressive company with a liberal mindset while at the same time being conscious of tradition. We act visionary, but always prudent and serious. We are very close to our namesake Vadian (Joachim von Watt, 1484 – 1551) and like to see flattering analogies to his impressive diversity as a natural scientist, mathematician, musician, physician, humanist, well-connected reformer and politician with diplomatic skills.
