卡地亚母公司历峰集团（Richemont）周三表示，尽管受欧元走强及最大市场亚洲销售疲软的双重影响，上季度销售额仍实现增长。这家总部位于瑞士的奢侈品集团（按营收规模，全球最大奢侈品集团之一）表示，4月至6月期间整体销售额增长3%，达54亿欧元（约合63亿美元）。
若非美元走弱对增长造成冲击，这一增幅原本有望攀升至6%。
该集团在欧洲、美洲以及中东和非洲地区的销售额均实现两位数增长——无论是剔除汇率波动影响，还是按实际汇率计算——珠宝销售额的增长起到了推动作用。
历峰集团在声明中称：“集团旗下四大珠宝品牌——布契拉提、卡地亚、梵克雅宝和Vhernier，销售额增长11%，且已是连续第三个季度实现两位数增长。”
但按当前汇率计算，亚太地区销售额下滑4%，日本市场下降13%，再加上专业腕表制造部门（涵盖沛纳海、伯爵、江诗丹顿等品牌）营收下降10%，这些因素均对整体销售额造成拖累。
整体季度销售额与瑞士金融新闻机构AWP调查的分析师们的预期相符，不过领先的珠宝部门的业绩略好于专家预期。（财富中文网）

Cartier owner Richemont said Wednesday its sales revenue grew last quarter despite the effects of a strong euro and weak sales in Asia, its top market. The Swiss-based luxury group, one of the largest in terms of revenue, said overall sales rose by three percent in April through June to 5.4 billion euros ($6.3 billion).
But the weakness of the dollar bit into the increase, which otherwise would have been a six percent gain.
The company posted double-digit sales gains in Europe, the Americas and the Middle East and Africa regions, both stripping out currency fluctuations and at actual rates, with jewellery driving the gains.
“The Group’s four Jewellery Maisons — Buccellati, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and Vhernier –- recorded an 11 percent rise in sales, marking a third consecutive quarter of double-digit growth,” the company said in a statement.
But a four percent contraction in the Asia Pacific region and a 13 percent drop in Japan at current rates weighed on overall sales, as did a 10 percent drop in revenue from its specialist watchmakers division, which includes names such as Panerai, Piaget and Vacheron Constantin.
The overall quarterly sales were in line with expectations of analysts surveyed by Swiss financial news agency AWP, although the leading jewellery segment performed slightly better than the experts expected.
