Our Maisons, products, and services
Jewellery lies at the heart of Richemont. Established in 1847 in Paris, Cartier is renowned as ‘the king of jewellers and the jeweller of kings’, whilst Van Cleef & Arpels is one of the most prestigious and exclusive names in the world of high jewellery.
Richemont’s specialist watchmakers represent a proud tradition of style, quality and craftsmanship. Jaeger-LeCoultre, IWC and A. Lange & Söhne, which were acquired in 2000, have perfectly complemented Piaget, Vacheron Constantin, Officine Panerai and Baume & Mercier in this respect. All but one of the Maisons were established during the 19th century. The exception to this is Vacheron Constantin, the world’s oldest watch manufacturer, which celebrated 250 years of continuous production in 2005.
Montblanc, established in 1906, is one of the world’s best-known international luxury brands. Its famous ‘white star’ symbolises the brand’s dedication to high quality materials and master craftsmanship as well as being a distinctive design. Montegrappa, the oldest Italian manufacturer of prestige writing instruments, is appreciated and sought out by connoisseurs and collectors worldwide.
Leather and accessories have been an integral part of Alfred Dunhill’s activities since the brand’s establishment in 1893, coinciding with the dawn of the motor car era. Alfred Dunhill saw this as an opportunity and converted his father’s business from the manufacture of horse carriage fittings to motoring accessories. That business formed the basis of Dunhill’s international presence today. Established in 1876, Lancel has been developed into an international luxury brand by generations of craftsmen. Today it offers a wide range of luggage, handbags, small leather goods and other accessories.
