A. Lange & Söhne is a legendary name in the world of watchmaking, renowned for its precision, craftsmanship, and innovation. The brand was established in 1845 in the small town of Glashütte, Germany, by Ferdinand Adolph Lange. Lange, a master watchmaker, had a vision to produce timepieces that were not only accurate and reliable but also exuded an aesthetic appeal. He and his sons, Richard and Emil, transformed the face of the watch industry by creating extraordinary pocket watches that were sought after across Europe.

Unfortunately, during World War II, the company suffered a severe setback when its manufacturing facilities were destroyed. However, A. Lange & Söhne's story did not end there. In 1990, Walter Lange, the great-grandson of the founder, made a courageous decision to re-establish the family's watchmaking legacy. The brand was revived, and it once again began producing high-quality watches that matched the standards set by Ferdinand Adolph Lange. The first collection of the new era, presented in 1994, was met with universal acclaim, re-establishing A. Lange & Söhne's status as a leader in the luxury watch industry.

Today, A. Lange & Söhne continues to uphold its tradition of excellence, marrying time-tested techniques with modern innovation. Each timepiece is a testament to the brand's unwavering commitment to precision, beauty, and quality. The mastery of A. Lange & Söhne is not simply in the mechanics of their watches, but in the soul and history that each piece carries. As an employee of A. Lange & Söhne, you would not only be joining a company—you would be becoming a part of a rich legacy of watchmaking history.

Christian Dior described himself as a fashion and perfume designer. The House of Dior, founded in 1946, changed the face of ladies’ style forever when its New Look was unveiled in the halls of 30 Avenue Montaigne on February 12, 1947. The revolutionary look was accompanied by a fragrance, Miss Dior, the finishing touch designed to “leave a trail of desire in a woman’s wake”. This timeless perfume was the first fragrance created by a visionary brand which invented the concept of global beauty with its Rouge Dior and subsequent cosmetic lines.

The current-day trustees of this legendary expertise – Francis Kurkdjian, Perfume Creation Director, and Peter Philips, Creative and Image Director for Dior Makeup – are the heirs to Christian Dior’s perfectionism. The worldwide renown of the House’s creations is partly down to its seductive muses, including Charlize Theron, Natalie Portman and Robert Pattinson.

Founded in Brussels in 1829, Delvaux is the oldest fine leather goods house in the world, crafting and designing without interruption in its workshops since then. Delvaux is the inventor of the modern handbag, having filed the first-ever leather handbag patent in the world, in 1908.

In 1933 Franz Schwennicke takes over the business. Delvaux becomes an exclusive brand and is the first to introduce seasonal collections, mirroring the practices of Haute Couture.

Under his direction and then later that of his wife, Solange, Delvaux produces countless masterpieces. The ateliers of Brussels and France produce handbags that stand out in the history of leather goods, such as the ‘Brillant’, created for the Brussels World Fair in 1958.

Steeped in the spirit of Belgian surrealism, la Maison Delvaux brings a witty approach to all its creations, infusing each design with an unconventional and original touch.

The first luxury leather goods house in the world is unlike any other. In the hands of its highly skilled leather artisans, Delvaux bags become genuine works of art.

Delvaux has a long and rich history. More than 3,000 handbag designs have been created since 1829. To this day, every new creation continues to be described, sketched and catalogued in Delvaux’s Golden Book, the “Livre d’Or”.

More than sixty years ago, Robert Jean de Vogüé, at the time President of Moët & Chandon, and a handful of other exceptional individuals had the vision, courage and drive to redefine luxury sparkling wine.

They realized that there was a way to make it modern; and that was to take it far, far from home, exporting their centuries old know how, not the bottles. What they created was a thrilling paradox: a heritage brand with dynamism in its DNA. CHANDON.

Now spanning four continents, we have wineries in Argentina, California, Brazil, Australia, China and India, making ours the largest sparkling vineyard worldwide and the only domain on which the sun never sets.

Drawing on a collaborative network of sixteen winemakers of seven different nationalities, we stand for new terroirs, innovative methods and an ever-curious outlook that happily unites our diverse lands and people. CHANDON opens up a world of possibilities.

Thélios was created in 2017, when LVMH entered the eyewear industry by joining forces with sector expert Marcolin. It produces unique optical frames, drawing on Italian design and craftsmanship to reflect the quintessential spirit of each prestigious Maison. The name is a reference to Greek mythology: a combination of Theia, goddess of light and sight, and Helios, god of the sun. Thélios covers every stage of the eyewear production cycle – it designs, manufactures and distributes sunglasses and optical frames for a number of LVMH Maisons. It aims to become an emblem of quality in a rapidly transforming sector, driven notably by a burgeoning Asian market. Driven by this ambition, in April 2018 the company inaugurated the Manifattura Thélios, its flagship production site and center for excellence. Its comprehensive, flexible manufacturing system ensures full control of every stage of production, from the design brief to design, prototyping and production. The site focuses on innovation and cutting-edge technologies, such as 3D printers, while also emphasizing traditional craftsmanship. The 8,000-sq.m production facility located in Longarone – a town in northern Italy known for its long history of eyewear manufacturing – employs around a hundred people. The sustainably designed and eco-friendly building – complete with 2,300 solar panels on its roof – is the brainchild of architecture firm Designgroup Architetti Associati. The Manifattura Thélios produces about 1.5 million optical frames a year and could rapidly triple its production by expanding its brand portfolio. Thélios – which is already working with Celine, Loewe, Fred, Kenzo and Berluti – is looking to the future with its Manifattura, while carrying on a long-standing tradition of craftsmanship. This project combines LVMH and Marcolin’s taste for top-quality products with respect for a cultural legacy essential to the region. It is a reminder of how strategically important Italy is for LVMH, and yet another example of the Group’s investment in Italy’s economic heritage and development.
