Chaumet and Hublot delivered a positive performance with TAG Heuer continuing to refocus on its core offering. A partnership was concluded between TAG Heuer, Google and Intel for the launch of a smartwatch.
For all of the business group’s brands, Europe and Japan were the most dynamic regions.
In terms of outlook, LVMH sees overall growth prospects for the second half of the year with revenues fueled by the delivery of new products and sustained by new marketing and communication campaigns.
During the summer, Hublot will open its second manufacturing facility in Nyon, boosting its production capacity.
The majority of TAG Heuer’s new products will be launched over the coming months, backed by a communication plan targeting the brand’s key markets.
