"My goal was to build an international watch brand and at the same time contribute to the regional economic success", says Founder and CEO Alfred Riedl about the start of Jacques Lemans. Today, the company has evolved to a global player with full-range offering: Jacques Lemans watches are available at numerous global sales partners and distributors in every style and price range.
The brand represents timeless elegance, innovative technology as well as durability and meets the highest quality demands.
A strong foundation - a clear vision
Founded as a family business, the brand is now being continued by the next generation: Alfred Riedl (CEO), Michaela Riedl (Head of Marketing) and Andreas Riedl (CCO) combine tradition and innovation to continue the success story.
Leading minds - innovative impulses
"Our collections are far more than just timepieces - they combine modern design with proven quality and set powerful accents for individuality and style," says Andreas Riedl, CCO (right). Michaela Riedl, Head of Marketing (center), adds: "We use innovative, digital campaigns to appeal to young, international target groups in particular and establish the brand globally - in an authentic and future-orientated way."
Looking to the future, the company is focusing on sustainable materials, innovative designs and strong regional roots - for watches and jewellery that will last for generations.
Everything from a single source
One major factor for the success of Jacques Lemans is the concentration of essential strategic areas, such as research and development, marketing, logistics, quality control and distribution in the headquarters in St. Veit in Southern Austria. This makes short decision paths possible and creates a flexible business structure to quickly react to new trends. The pursuit of quality and perfection is always the top priority.

More than a watch brand
Jacques Lemans may be known as a watch brand, however, the family company stopped fitting into this narrow box a long time ago. With countless sponsoring activities, charity purposes and special projects in the culture and sports area Jacques Lemans leaves the art of watchmaking and becomes a cultural landmark.
A special project of the company is Burg Taggenbrunn. After many years of renovation work, an extraordinary project was finally realized by the ambitious family Riedl. In November 2019 the public was finally able to see the wonderful project: the historic jewel castle Taggenbrunn opened its gates.
Castle Taggenbrunn and the 'Taggenbrunner Festspiele' event are connected to the Jacques Lemans Group and the realisation of a vision.
This way the world-famous watch company creates a cultural highlight in Carinthia.
