Swiss luxury powerhouse Richemont has just announced yet another round of shifts in top management positions, with new direction for two of its most prestigious watchmaking brands, Vacheron Constantin and Jaeger-Lecoultre. Effective January 1st, 2025, the nominations of Jer?me Lambert and Laurent Perves follow the appointments announced earlier this year. Nicolas Bos was promoted from CEO of Van Cleef & Arpels to CEO of Richemont. Catherine Renier, previously CEO of Jaeger-LeCoultre, was appointed as the head of Van Cleef & Arpels. Louis Ferla, previously CEO of Vacheron Constantin, succeeds Cyrille Vigneron as CEO of Cartier.Louis Ferla, previously at the head of VC, now CEO of Cartier, and Laurent Perves, the new CEO of VacheronThe appointment of Laurent Perves is no surprise given that rumours have been swirling ever since Louis Ferla was appointed as CEO of Cartier. It also appears as a logical option given the long-standing history of Perves with Vacheron Constantin, having served as both Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Commercial Officer, thus ensuring continuity in leadership as the brand will celebrate its 270th anniversary in 2025.Jer?me Lambert is back in the position he occupied from 2002 to 2013, as CEO of JLCOn the other hand, the appointment of Jer?me Lambert as CEO of Jaeger-Lecoultre is more surprising. Lambert already assumed this exact same role between 2002 and 2013, before moving to Montblanc as CEO. Jer?me Lambert was then Richemont Group’s Chief Executive Officer from September 2018 to May 2024 and has been the group’s Chief Operating Officer since June 2024, having been replaced by Nicolas Bos in this role. Many will see Lambert’s return as a positive sign for the brand, as his time at the head of the brand was a period of great dynamism and innovation.For more information, please visit Richemont.com.
