PRESS RELEASE
Richemont Board Appointment
Richemont, the Swiss luxury goods group, today announced the appointment of
Henry-John Belmont as Chief Executive of Richemont's specialist Watch
Division (which consists of Jaeger-LeCoultre, Piaget, Baume & Mercier, IWC,
Vacheron Constantin, A. Lange & Sohne and Officine Panerai) and, as such, a
Director of Richemont Societe Anonyme, the Group's Management Board. This
appointment was necessitated by the tragic death of Mr Gunther Blumlein some
weeks ago. Mr Belmont is currently Chief Executive of Jaeger-LeCoultre and
was a long time colleague of Mr Blumlein at Les Manufactures Horlogeres SA,
prior to the acquisition of that company by Richemont last year.
Franco Cologni will continue as Executive Chairman of both Cartier and
Richemont's specialist Watch Division.
