"I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Rank and feel that now is the right point at which to pursue my next opportunity,” Floydd commented.
“Whilst the last 18 months have been an extraordinary period for everyone, I am confident that Rank will go from strength to strength now that it is back open for business and John and the team continue to deliver on the group's transformation programme."
At Watches of Switzerland, Floydd will replace Anders Romberg, who is retiring after seven years in the role.
His base salary will be £380,000 per annum and he will receive a cash pension allowance of 3% of base salary. The maximum annual bonus will be 125% of base salary and the maximum annual performance share plan award will be 175% of base salary.
