Not only were we taking over a company that had grown and excelled under the many achievements of our father, butalso we had become the caretakers of a 121-year heritage of haute joaillerie. Our challenge was how to preserve Mouawad’s eminent position as fine jewelers while taking the brand forward to a new, ambitious level. As brothers, we share the same vision for Mouawad: building on the company’s excellence in design and craftsmanship while broadening its accessibility to a wider global clientele. We have many plans through which we will achieve this, some of which we have begun to implement and some which will be revealed in due course. This remains an exciting phase for the Mouawad brand as we continue its dazzling ascendance to become one of the leading fine jewelers worldwide. dawn of a new era 5 OMouawad collection brochures “WIDE-RANGING PLANS ARE UNDER WAY TO TAKE THE BRAND TO EVEN GREATER HEIGHTS.” FRED MOUAWAD philosophy.

It is born of an appreciation of the brand’s 121 years of heritage which collectively translate into a bond of trust between jeweler and clientele. Likewise, it is supported by the luxury of an after sales service that is resolutely customer-centric; equally it is enriched by the knowledge that every piece of jewelry is both contemporary and yet timeless. She Deserves Nothing Less, the new Mouawad advertising campaign, speaks to all women who are discerning enough to believe they deserve to be adorned in the finest jewels in the world. Seen through the exquisite and elegant nature of the Mouawad jewelry worn by former Miss Chile, Gabriella Barros, the “She Deserves Nothing Less” commercial conveys the message that whether a man buying a gift for a loved one or a woman buying for herself, the decision to choose Mouawad is to buy the finest there is.

S ince 1972, Robergé has been producing some of the world’s finest masterpieces of time.

On January 1st, 2010 fourth generation family members Fred and Pascal Mouawad took over the reins of Robergé as well as the Mouawad Group from their father Robert, after his decision to retire and devote his time to the Robert Mouawad Foundation and the Robert Mouawad Real Estate Group. “Since its beginnings, Robergé has always been at the forefront of innovation,” said Fred Mouawad. “We believe that it is the right time to bring Robergé into the future while retaining its core values of blending excellence in craftsmanship with meticulous selections of some of the world’s finest gems.” Robergé was founded by Robert Mouawad, brilliantly combining his innate passion for diamonds with the centuries-old Swiss tradition of horology. This luxurious partnership is symbolized in the name Robergé — an amalgamation of Robert and Geneva. The watch-making tradition, just as that of crafting fine jewelry, has been nurtured by generations of the Mouawad family for more than 34 The superior attention to detail characteristic of all Mouawad jewelry is equally central to the Robergé brand. These handcrafted watches, produced in only limited numbers each year, embody the highest levels of technological innovation. The true instinct of a master craftsman is ever-present in the daring masterpieces that bear the name Robergé. Tourbillions, automatic movements with over 72-hour power reserves, fine chiming minute repeaters, and exceptional hand-worked movements are all present in the brand. To produce such fine examples of timekeeping requires precise skills, nurtured by the right surroundings. In the late 1990s Robert Mouawad acquired a watch case production facility in Les Breuleux, a town in the Swiss Joux Valley famed for its watch-making traditions, from where every Robergé timepiece is handcrafted today. Each masterpiece that is crafted bearing the Robergé name also carries the hallmark “Manufacturé en Suisse," which certifies its controlled origin. The Joux Valley 35 HAUTE JOAILLERIE MASTERPIECES OF A DYNASTY For more than a century, Mouawad has been creating spectacular jewelry destined for its exclusive clientele of royalty, the wealthy elite and celebrities. Each creation begins life with the hand selection of the most exquisite, rare gemstones. From here, the artistic journey begins, as masterful design gives way to intricate craftsmanship, culminating in a unique artistic statement that could only bear the name Mouawad. Mouawad creations are far more than a superb collection of unique jewelry pieces. They are testimony to a dynasty of jewelers who have passionately pursued their destiny—unlocking and enchanting the splendor of Earth’s most evocative and enduring mysteries: precious stones. The collection expresses aesthetic embellishments through Man’s talent — the freeing of precious stones from their rough exteriors to reveal their brilliance and magnificence. Through the years, Mouawad has created a collection of one-of-a-kind and exquisite Haute Joaillerie sets. Handcrafted with the finest and most unique diamonds and colored gemstones, these exquisite, timeless sets have been seen on major celebrities and royalty around the globe. 36 37 HAUTE JOAILLERIE 38 39 SPIRIT of ECSTASY MOUAWAD OBJET d’ART MEETS THE SPIRIT OF ECSTASY Late in 2011, Mouawad collaborated with the world’s most exclusive automobile maker to create a one-of-akind Rolls-Royce Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament never before seen. The signature Rolls-Royce bonnet emblem, known around the globe as the Spirit of Ecstasy—the iconic symbol that graces the front of all Phantom and Ghost models. As legendary diamond experts, Mouawad, wanted to recognize the iconic figurine by encasing it in diamonds, creating a full pavé version to mark the centennial celebration of the legendary flying lady. Three of Mouawad’s master craftsmen spent 350 hours meticulously arranging and placing 2,300 round brilliant-cut diamonds onto the Spirit of Ecstasy to create a truly unique version of the symbol in commemoration of its centenary. HAUTE JOAILLERIE 40 The Mouawad centennial version of the Rolls-Royce Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament 2,300 round brilliant-cut diamonds (G color, VS clarity) Total diamond weight = 38.53 carats Worth a value of $250,000 USD 41 The Boutique Collections ROSETTE™ COLLECTION CLASSIC MOTIFS MEET EXTRAORDINARY GEMSTONES Since its debut, the Rosette collection has emerged as an iconic symbol of Mouawad Jewelry that continues to permeate celebrity culture.

Fun and wonderfully versatile, and with a classic charm all its own, this collection sparkles with Mouawad diamonds, rubies and sapphires. Painstakingly crafted in pavé sets, Rosette uses a vintage cut to elaborate on a thoroughly modern design. Ranging from signature interchangeable heart lockets, to earrings, necklaces, pendants, rings and bracelets, Rosette’s look is as eclectic as it is infinitely desirable. Mouawad has launched an extension of this popular collection to make it even more comprehensive and offer more variations including select models in rose gold and new models combining the classic rose motif with the three hearts from the Flower of Eternity collection. The new pieces will continue the vintage themes of the Rosette tradition of elegance and versatility while sparking a new era in this iconic Mouawad collection. 42 43 The Boutique Collections ROSETTE™ COLLECTION 44 45 The Boutique Collections ROSETTE™ COLLECTION 46 47 The Boutique Collections FLOWER of ETERNITY TM THREE HEARTS, ONE FLOWER … AN ETERNITY OF PASSION Making its grand debut in 2010, the Flower of Eternity collection continues Mouawad’s tradition of passion for excellence, through a stylish line of jewelry that exudes contemporary glamour. Crafted from 18 karat yellow, rose and white gold, and set with diamonds and colored gemstones, the Flower of Eternity collection ranges from simple pendants to ornate four-piece sets. The result is a selection of iconic pieces perfect for every mood — from daytime chic to the most dazzling evening sophistication. Studied carefully, the flower emblem present in each piece reveals its composition of heart shapes. The heart, chosen as a universally recognized emblem of love and passion, appears three times, a symbolic number representing the past, the present and the future, denoting a promise of eternity. The Mouawad name also pays tribute to these three dimensions of time in all it creates, combining a respect for its heritage with a visionary approach to the now and to what still lies ahead. With the Flower of Eternity collection it immortalizes these values, while beautifully capturing the essence of timeless passion for future centuries to come. 48 49 The Boutique Collections FLOWER of ETERNITY 50 TM 51 The Boutique Collections FLOWER of ETERNITY 52 TM 53 The Boutique Collections LAVA COLLECTION HOT ROCKS Inspired by earth’s unstoppable power and energy, the Lava collection is an explosion of brilliance capturing the alluring moment when molten rock ruptures from deep within the earth’s core.
