History

Johann Rupert founded Compagnie Financière Richemont S.A. when he spun off the international assets of Rembrandt Group Ltd., a South Africa-based company founded in the 1940s by his father, Anton Rupert. 

The division, originally founded on 5 March 1979 as Intercontinental Mining and Resources S.A., was later renamed IMR Group S.A. on 31 March 1987 and finally Richemont S.A. on 17 August 1988. The spin-off was completed on 20 September 1988. The luxury goods investments of Rembrandt Group combined with Rothmans International formed the initial group of Richemont subsidiaries. 

In March 2007, Richemont and Polo Ralph Lauren Inc. announced the formation of a 50/50 joint venture, the Polo Ralph Lauren Watch and Jewelry Company SÀRL.In October 2008, the Group divested all of its remaining interests in the tobacco industry. 

As of November 2012, Compagnie Financière Richemont S.A. is the sixth largest corporation by market capitalization in the Swiss Market Index.
