Well, the 29-year-old heir of the LVMH empire will be overseeing Hublot, TAG Heuer, and Zenith, being responsible for curating the heritage of some of the most prestigious watch brands of today.

 

His success at TAG Heuer and ability to balance modernity with history make him a logical choice for this expanded role.

Benoit de Clerck, previously with Panerai and Richemont, fills Tornare's position at Zenith from outside the LVMH Watch Group.

We think this is big news for the industry.

 

The Arnauld family has elevated the luxury goods industry so much, and it's particularly noticeable in the watch market!

 

TAG Heuer was given a new spark of life, and that is thanks to Frédéric Arnauld.

 

We are only looking forward to all the crazy and awesome things he’ll achieve now that he oversees the core LVMH watch brands…
