The most important of them all of is the 2011 acquisition of La Fabrique du Temps, a high-concept movement maker in Geneva world–renowned for its innovative, complex movements. The manufacture was behind some of the brand’s earlier high-complication models such as the Spin Time and World Time, which gives one a clear indication of its capabilities.
With the addition of Jean Arnault, the youngest son of the LVMH founder Bernard Arnault at the helm, young Arnault is set to steer the brand with a focus towards high-end watches and aims to achieve 100 per cent in-house production, even if that involves discontinuing 80 per cent of the current product lineup.
DIOR
Dior has steadily been producing quality luxury timepieces since it established its own watchmaking development and manufacturing facility in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, in 2001.
We’ve seen tourbillons and automata from the brand over the years but Dior’s forte lies in the aesthetic aspect of watch design, expressing its distinctive, elegant style in haute couture through exquisite timepieces.
