LVMH has named Jean-Christophe Babin, currently CEO of Bulgari, as the new head of its watches division, according to reports. He will succeed Frédéric Arnault, who recently transitioned to lead Italian cashmere brand Loro Piana.
Babin brings extensive experience in the luxury watch and jewelry sector, having led Bulgari since 2013. His appointment is part of broader leadership changes within LVMH as the Arnault family continues to shape the future of the luxury conglomerate.
This move reinforces LVMH’s strategy of leveraging internal talent to steer its prestigious watch brands forward.
