Buccellati, the renowned Italian jewelry brand, has recently announced the exciting appointment of Nicolas Luchsinger as its new CEO. Luchsinger, who is currently serving as the president Asia-Pacific at Van Cleef & Arpels, will officially take over the reins of the company on April 2, 2024.
Luchsinger’s impressive background and extensive experience make him an ideal candidate for this position. He has spent a remarkable 17 years at Van Cleef & Arpels, where he held various senior roles including head of retail and heritage director. Throughout his career, Luchsinger has had the opportunity to work at the brand’s Paris headquarters as well as in markets outside of France. Prior to his time at Van Cleef & Arpels, he also gained valuable experience working at Christie’s for nearly a decade.
The appointment of Luchsinger comes as Gianluca Brozzetti, Buccellati’s current CEO, prepares to step down after successfully leading the company for the past 10 years. It was under Brozzetti’s guidance that Buccellati was acquired by the Richemont group in 2019. Despite his departure from the CEO role, Brozzetti will continue to maintain involvement with the brand as a member of the board of directors of Buccellati Holding Italia Spa, holding the title of executive vice-president. He will also serve as the brand’s representative in industry associations and as a key figure in the partnership between Buccellati and Scuola Orafa Ambrosiana, a prestigious goldsmithing school in Milan.
It is worth noting that although Buccellati is now fully owned by the Swiss luxury group Richemont, the Buccellati family still plays an active role in the business. Several members of the family hold senior positions within the company, ensuring the brand remains true to its heritage and vision.
Buccellati is highly revered for its exquisite jewelry and maintains a strong presence in some of the world’s most important cities and prestigious shopping malls. With the appointment of Nicolas Luchsinger as CEO, the brand is poised for even greater success and expansion in the luxury jewelry market.
