About the Company

Richemont

Luxury-goods holding company acquiring maisons

Richemont is a Swiss-based holding company that owns a collection of luxury brands, including Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and IWC Schaffhausen. It operates by acquiring and nurturing iconic luxury maisons with rich histories, then leveraging their heritage to create premium jewelry, watches, and accessories sold worldwide through its brands and retail networks. Unlike diversified conglomerates that mix many non-luxury businesses, Richemont focuses exclusively on high-end goods and has deliberately shifted away from other interests (like tobacco) to sharpen its luxury focus. Its goal is to build a global luxury powerhouse by growing its brands, expanding across geographies, and maintaining control over premium product sourcing, design, and distribution.
