“It fills me with pride to see Frédéric succeed me at the helm of TAG Heuer after the key role he has played in its strategic repositioning,” Bianchi said.
“Frédéric’s passionate about watchmaking, and I am convinced that he and his management team are best placed to lead this wonderful Maison to the heights of achievement it deserves.”
Separately, LVMH recently took a u-turn on its proposed €14.7 billion (£13 billion) takeover of Tiffany & Co, confirming it would no longer purchase its shares on the open market.
LVMH first announced its £13 billion takeover of Tiffany & Co in November.
The deal was subsequently approved “overwhelmingly” by the jeweller’s shareholders in February.
