Kering has launched Kering Jewellery to consolidate its high-end watch and jewellery brands, appointing group chief operating officer Jean-Marc Duplaix to lead the new division.
The new entity integrates the houses of Boucheron, Pomellato, Dodo, and Qeelin into a unified platform designed to accelerate growth through shared industrial capabilities.
A central component of this structure is the Raselli Franco Group, an acquisition currently being integrated to provide technical manufacturing support and technological resources.
Duplaix, who retains his existing responsibilities in finance and M&A, will oversee the individual CEOs of each jewellery house to ensure operational coordination across the group.
The formation of Kering Jewellery allows the group to capitalise on the increasing demand for hard luxury, particularly in the high jewellery segment.
The integrated platform is intended to support the development of iconic collections while exploring jewellery opportunities for Kering’s fashion and leather goods brands, such as Gucci and Saint Laurent.
Luca de Meo, chief executive of Kering, said: “With Kering Jewellery, we are giving the group a platform capable of supporting our houses’ ambitions in an area of expertise where creativity and excellence are inseparable. Jean-Marc’s experience will be instrumental in the group’s potential in jewellery.”
