“We will target the pulsating metropolises of the world, luxury resorts with spirit, but also regions that are new to us, such as the Middle and Far East. In this process, Damien Dernoncourt and his team, with their expertise in the jewelry sector and their market knowledge – especially in the USA – will be able to make a significant contribution,”
