Emmanuel Perrin’s appointment leverages his 33 years of experience within Richemont, including tenures at Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, and his recent eight-year leadership of Richemont’s Specialist Watchmakers Distribution. His deep knowledge of the group and the watch sector positions him well to lead Panerai’s continued evolution and long-term success.

Jean-Marc Pontroué, who has led Panerai as CEO since 2018, will step down on 1 April 2025 after a distinguished 25-year tenure with the group. He has played a pivotal role in shaping Panerai’s strategy and global presence, following his leadership positions at Montblanc and Roger Dubuis.
