The deal, LVMH’s largest to date, doubles its existing watch and jewelry business, and bolsters its position as the world’s largest diversified luxury group, covering well-heeled shoppers from head-to-toe.

The company’s portfolio of brands also extends well beyond fashion, with a constellation of companies offering luxuries from champagne to resort vacations, upscale department stores, and custom-built yachts.

Correction: An earlier version of this story noted that Givenchy was acquired in 1986 as part of a deal for Veuve Clicquot. Givenchy Parfums was included in that transaction, but Givenchy Couture Group wasn’t purchased by LVMH until 1988.
