Richemont Names New Cartier CEO

Louis Ferla, who is currently chief of the group’s Swiss watchmaker Vacheron Constantin, will replace Cyrille Vigneron at the helm of flagship jeweller Cartier.
Richemont named the head of its watch brand Vacheron Constantin as the new chief executive officer of Cartier, the latest in a series of senior management changes.

Vigneron led Cartier for eight years and boosted sales by reducing model lines and focusing on the storied brand’s best-selling jewelery collections and watch designs. That strategy, which cemented Cartier’s position as the top global jewelry house and second-biggest luxury watchmaker, isn’t expected to change under the leadership of Ferla, who previously spent 11 years with Cartier beginning in 2006.
