Paris—Strong performances from its jewelry and watch brands have helped LVMH continue its growth trend in 2018.
In third quarter results released Tuesday, the Paris-based luxury conglomerate reported that its Watches & Jewelry division saw organic growth of 10 percent year-over-year during the three-month period, following 20 percent growth in the first quarter and 12 percent growth in the second.
Through the first nine months of 2018, LVMH’s watch and jewelry sales are up 14 percent.
LVMH said Bulgari continued its strong performance and gained market share, bolstered by strong momentum with its jewelry and watch collections Serpenti, Diva, B.Zero1, Lvcea and Octo.
The company added that Bulgari’s new “Wild Pop” high jewelry line, launched at the beginning of the summer, continues to grow, while Chaumet and Fred “progressed steadily.”
Meanwhile, in watches, TAG Heuer continued to develop its lines, and Hublot, which LVMH said grew strongly in the first nine months of the year, opened its first standalone boutique in London.
