Pruniaux's hiring is the latest in a line of luxury fashion executives Apple have hired. These have included the former head of French fashion brand Yves Saint Laurent, Paul Deneve, and former Chief Executive of Burberry, Angela Ahrendts.
Rumours suggest that the heavily speculated-on wearable will be announced along a new iPhone in September.
