The Watches division of the world’s leading luxury goods group has acquired a 15% stake in Swiss manufacturer La Joux-Perret, a benchmark in the design and production of some of the world’s most sophisticated watch movements. Already a partner of LVMH’s brands, La Joux-Perret will retain its independence and continue to work for other major luxury names.

 

LVMH continues to consolidate its supply chain for its Watches division, bringing together the Houses of Hublot, TAG Heuer, and Zenith.

 

The world leader in luxury goods has just announced a minority stake (15%) in its watchmaking division in the Swiss movement manufacturer La Joux-Perret.
