Richemont operates in five key areas - jewellery, watches, writing
instruments, leather and accessories, and clothing. The Group
believes in strength through diversity. Each of the Maisons has its
own distinct identity, that stems from its heritage and culture,
and it is critical that each brand has the correct strategies and
resources to be able to enhance that identity. The independence of
the Maisons within the group is fundamental to the Group's strategy
for future growth.
The Group is managed with the objective of growing value for
shareholders over the long-term, recognising that the most
important assets of the Group - its brands - have been in existence
in most cases for over a century.
Management, designers and craftsmen across the Group strive to keep
this heritage and the traditional values of its Maisons alive
through a continuous process of reinvention and innovation.
Today, Richemont is one of the worlds leading luxury goods groups,
with particular strengths in terms of jewellery, luxury watches and
writing instruments.
The Group encompasses several of the most prestigious names in the
industry including Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Piaget,
Vacheron Constantin, Jaeger-LeCoultre, IWC, Dunhill and
Montblanc.
Each of the Groups brands represents a proud tradition of style,
quality and craftsmanship which Richemont is committed to
preserving. The individual heritage and identity of each maison is
rigorously guarded, the Groups designers and craftsmen being
constantly challenged to keep the heritage alive through a
continuous process of reinvention and innovation.
