While retaining his position as CEO of Bvlgari, Jean-Christophe Babin will replace Frédéric Arnault, who has left for Loro Piana, at the head of the Watch Division of the world leader in luxury goods.

 

LVMH will not have looked far for a replacement for Frédéric Arnault.

 

Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of Bvlgari since 2013, a position he will retain in parallel, is the new Managing Director of the Watch Division. Created in January 2024, it had been managed by Frédéric, Bernard Arnault’s third son. On March 26, he took up his new position at the cashmere company Loro Piana, owned by LVMH, and was appointed managing director.
