The only thing I'm wondering is :

Would each of the brand which belongs to the Richemont family know the success they know if they hadn't be bought by Cariter richemont iat the end of the 90ies, or at the beginning of the 21th Century...?

I think about IWC, and JLc, as I still think that Richemont save Panerai's life in 97...

Thanks again for this interesting, very interesting read, my friend.

For the very nice report, I was able many years ago to buy a Dupont Maharadja lighter, not Cartier, but had to think on it after reading this, always love all those history details. Cheers, Michel...  

That's a beauty Michel

S. T. Dupont laque de Chine lighters are works of art in themselves and the "cling" heard when you open the lighter is famous. -SJX
