The whimsical range is the brainchild of Nicolas Bos, group chief executive of parent company Richemont, which also owns Cartier, Jaeger‐LeCoultre, Vacheron Constantin and Piaget French jeweller Van Cleef & Arpels capped a year of remarkable growth in a challenging luxury environment with the unveiling of its latest high jewellery collection, a joyful homage to Treasure Island – the 1883 tale of adventure written by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson. The whimsical range is the brainchild of former CEO Nicolas Bos , who earlier this year left the brand to become group chief executive at parent company Richemont, the luxury group behind storied maisons such as Cartier, Piaget, Jaeger-LeCoultre and Vacheron Constantin. In an interview in Paris earlier this year, Bos used words like “playful”, “fun” and “colourful” to describe the collection, which was unveiled in Miami, Florida, this week.
