Jean-Christophe Babin, nuevo CEO de LVMH Watches

Babin is a veteran of the watch industry, previously led TAG Heuer for 12 years before taking the top position at Bulgari in 2013. His extensive experience includes leadership roles at Procter & Gamble, Benckiser, and Henkel.

Under Frédéric Arnault, LVMH’s Watches Division underwent significant transformation, including operational synergies among its brands. LVMH’s Group Managing Director, Stéphane Bianchi, expressed confidence in Babin’s ability to sustain and strengthen this positive momentum.

The division's structure remains intact, with Julien Tornare (Hublot), Antoine Pin (TAG Heuer), and Benoit de Clerck (Zenith) reporting directly to Babin. This strategic transition aligns with LVMH’s focus on sustainable and ambitious growth in the luxury watch market.
