Inhorgenta Spotlight: Jacques Lemans
The Austrian family business presented itself at Inhorgenta 2026 with a diverse range of new watches and jewelry, as well as theater and film actor Tobias Moretti—brand ambassador and friend of the Riedl family, who own the company.
As a highlight of the trade fair, Jacques Lemans hosted an exclusive meet & greet event for personal conversations, encounters, and photo opportunities with Tobias Moretti. The evening was accompanied by a Jacques Paagnier reception from the Riedl family’s own vineyard.
Jacques Lemans: Targeted accents for men and women
For men, Jacques Lemans presented striking highlights in its new collection, such as classic moon phase models and reinterpreted bestsellers with fresh dial colors.
In the women’s segment, the company is focusing in particular on new watches with lab-grown diamonds this year. The collection includes several models with sunburst or mother-of-pearl dials, based on three successful Jacques Lemans stainless steel models: “Derby,” “Milano,” and “Antwerp.” These bestsellers have been specifically refined and set with genuine, certified diamonds for the first time.
Heart Jewelry Collection 2026 – Jewelry that touches the heart
Another highlight in the jewelry sector in 2026 is the new “heart jewelry” collections from Jacques Lemans. Delicate silhouettes, sparkling stone settings, and modern interpretations of heart shapes combine symbolism with contemporary design. The collection includes necklaces, bracelets, and earrings.
Over 50 years of Jacques Lemans
Founded over 50 years ago by Alfred Riedl, his children are now also involved in the family business. “It fills me with pride and happiness that my children are continuing to run the company with the same passion,” says Alfred Riedl. “If this had not been the case, I would probably have sold the company when I reached the normal retirement age, i.e. at around 65. However, it is a joy to see how the next generation is carrying on the legacy.”
