If you think Fabergé’s only claim to fame are jewelled eggs, you’ll be wrong
If you think Fabergé’s only claim to fame are jewelled eggs, you’ll be wrong.On a warm afternoon in the middle of nowhere, Antony Lindsay, the newly-appointed CEO of Fabergé sits before us as the ice in a glass next to an unopened can of Coke, tinkles as it melts. As the CEO of a storied brand like Fabergé, Lindsay’s task is to spread the word of the Romanov’s favourite jewellery house.
In 2007, the brand underwent a revival. Taking inspiration from its storied past, Fabergé created original pieces like the Vissionnaire watches, where a Chronograph model displays two time zones at once, and the Altruist line, which has a clean and simple-to-read dial, with a crown that’s reminiscent of winding up a traditional clock.
As water pools at the bottom of the glass, Lindsay talks to us. About his history, where Fabergé is at and the future.Did Sean Gilbertson leave you with any wisdom when you took over? There’s been many over the years. I’ve known Sean, coming up to almost 14 years, and we shared some moments, both good and challenging. Nothing springs to mind… except for this Winston Churchill quote, “If you ever find yourself going through hell, keep walking.
I feel privileged and fortunate to be part of a team to write the next chapter of one of the most celebrated names in luxury. I see that as an honour. It’s the revival of the coloured gemstones on one hand and it’s also the revival of Fabergé on the other. It’s what keeps us very busy. I’d say that Fabergé’s reputation for unrivalled craftsmanship and design is globally recognised.
That’s a good question. It’s important to us that we pay homage and recognise what was done in the past. We draw inspiration from Peter Carl Fabergé, whether that be through his philosophies, values or craftsmanship. To apply it in a modern and contemporary and relevant way; we like to consider ourselves as a forward-thinking brand.I’d say that we are actively looking to partner with the finest retailers in existence. We don’t profess to understand every market on the planet.
