The super-luxury brand Hermès has acquired from the Sandoz Family Foundation a 25% stake in Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier, the developer and producer of haute horlogerie mechanical watch movements. In doing so, Hermès reinforces its presence in the luxury mechanical watch sector, and thus adds to its portfolio another master in its respective field alongside expert bootmakers John Lobb, goldsmiths Puiforcat, and fabric weavers Perrin & Fils.
