Which company owns the luxury brands Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels through Richemont?

Compagnie Financière Richemont owns Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels.

Richemont is a Swiss luxury-goods group founded in 1988 by South African businessman Anton Rupert. Its jewelry and watch portfolio includes Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Piaget, Jaeger-LeCoultre, IWC Schaffhausen, and Vacheron Constantin.

The group is legally named Compagnie Financière Richemont SA and is headquartered in Bellevue, near Geneva, Switzerland. Cartier is one of its best-known businesses, while Van Cleef & Arpels is internationally associated with high jewelry and its Alhambra collection.

Richemont is often compared with LVMH and Kering, but they are separate luxury groups with different brand portfolios. Market capitalization measures the value investors assign to the publicly traded Richemont company, not the retail price of any individual jewelry brand.
