History
Since its foundation, the Group has evolved into a pure luxury goods group. Follow our journey here.
Established by Dr Anton Rupert in the 1940s, Rembrandt Group owned significant interests in the tobacco, financial services, wines and spirits, gold and diamond mining industries as well as the luxury goods investments that, along with the investment in Rothmans International, would form Richemont. As a result, Richemont holds minority holdings in Cartier Monde (Cartier, Piaget and Baume & Mercier) and Rothmans International, which also owns investments in Cartier Monde, dunhill and, through dunhill, Montblanc and Chloé. The following year Richemont acquires Philip Morris' 30% interest in Rothmans International.
