For decades, the world of fine jewellery and luxury watchmaking has dazzled with feminine allure—yet the boardrooms steering these global luxury giants remained largely dominated by men. While women have always been the heart of the industry as consumers, muses, and creative inspirations. Today, that narrative is being rewritten.

Across the globe, luxury watch and jewellery houses are witnessing a historic shift: women are increasingly taking centre stage as CEOs, artistic directors, and decision-makers, steering strategy and shaping the future of some of the world’s most iconic brands. This rise of female leadership is not just a symbolic change—it’s redefining the creative and commercial landscape of the luxury sector.
