And LFT Louis Vuitton and 24-years-old Arnault are again behind this?resurrection, as reported by Nick Foulkes for the Financial Times.As Foulkes explains, Arnault father and son discussed watchmaking and the name Genta came up in a conversation, re-discovering that the LVMH Group was owning it, under management of Bulgari, yet relatively dormant in the past 20-plus years.
