Quality and Tradition since 1974
"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. Nowadays the corporation is represented globally and stands for timeless elegance, innovative technology and high quality demands. A distinguished assortment offers wristwachtes in a vast range of styles and price classes. The roots remain firmly anchored in St. Veit an der Glan in Southern Austria : our headquarters unify essential strategic areas, such as research and development, marketing, logistics, quality control and distribution. This close cooperation enables short decision paths and creates a flexible business structure to quickly react to new trends and execute new ideas - always in the pursuit to unite quality and durability.
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.
Castle Taggenbrunn
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 core project of the family company Riedl is Castle Taggenbrunn in Carinthia, Austria. After many years of complex renovation work, this historical jewel was finally presented to the public in November 2019 and revived to new life.
Today, Taggenbrunn combines history, culture and culinary delight in its own, unmistakeable way. The connected Winery Taggenbrunn and the renowned Taggenbrunn Festival ("Taggenbrunner Festspiele") together have created a cultural center, which shines far beyond Carinthia's borders.
Castle Taggenbrunn actively embodies the values that have always shaped Jacques Lemans: passion, durability and the courage to turn visions into reality.
