Devialet and LVMH - IanG-UK - 03-Sep-2015 LVMH has been a big investor in Devialet for quite a while. Now they have hired this guy: http://www.macrumors.com/2015/09/01/ex-apple-ian-rogers-lvmh/ RE: Devialet and LVMH - Pim - 03-Sep-2015 Could be good. Time will tell I guess. No word about what he will be doing but I doubt he will be working on handbags, watches or cognac. RE: Devialet and LVMH - Hifi_swlon - 03-Sep-2015 There was a thread on pfm about B&W speakers becoming part of LVMH too….

Picking up on Ian's reference to LVMH, the link below is for a 2012 article which predicts Devialet will produce a Euro1000 mini version D-Premier and bring "the same kind of innovation to loudspeakers." This article predates the 240/170/120 launch and not far off predicts the Phantom, albeit the Phantom actually arrived a year earlier than the "in four years" mentioned. It also references similarity in style between Devialet and Apple...... http://www.whiteboardmag.com/french-internet-and-luxury-royalty-invest-15-million-e-in-hi-fi-startup-devialet/ RE: Devialet and LVMH - colonel66 - 04-Sep-2015 Ian i may be nitpicking but i understood that it was the chairman in a personal capacity that had invested in Devialet and not LVMH itself of course i may be wrong RE: Devialet and LVMH - GuillaumeB - 04-Sep-2015 (04-Sep-2015, 05:32)colonel66 Wrote: Ian That is also what I understood but my guess is that there will be linkages as people look to exploit connections.

His Devialet investment of c.€20m/€40m probably amounts to loose change for him - lucky man RE: Devialet and LVMH - bernardl - 04-Sep-2015 I believe that this about what he makes in a year on average...

My brother in Holland has a house built across the canal from where his cruiser was being built. He showed a video of it. That boat costs millions per year just to run. By the way, he also owns the boat building company... RE: Devialet and LVMH - GuillaumeB - 04-Sep-2015 Hey I wonder how long before we see a Louis Vuitton bag for the Phantom?! Guillaume |
