“Mr Rupert commented as follows:
“Since he took up the role of Chief Executive Officer in 2004, Norbert has
achieved remarkable results in terms of building the Group, rationalising its
operations and improving our logistics infrastructure. Over the period we
have seen a dramatic growth in sales and profitability at Richemont, even if
the crisis of the past year has impacted the luxury goods industry so
negatively.
Richemont’s philosophy is that our Maisons should operate largely
autonomously, whilst benefiting from the Group’s central and regional
support services. In these challenging times, we want to ensure consistency
in our management approach. Richemont has strong management in the
Maisons, in the regions and in our central functions and I look forward to
working more closely with my colleagues.”
The Board of Compagnie Financière Richemont SA has also nominated Lord Renwick
of Clifton to assume the role of Lead Independent Director, given the combination of
Mr Rupert’s role as Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.”

With regards to the watches thats how he roles. He is the biggest supporter of this country and its sports. Also an amazing guy who is very giving.
