Richemont sells jewelry, including Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, and watches apart. They are not the same book. LVMH sells jewelry in the same trade. These are not the most coveted houses by decree, and the price is not set alone. Family control is not the moat. A wait is not cash until the piece is sold. This report does not measure that wait and does not describe how the piece is made.
China can slow the sale. A discount is a price cut. A season can miss. Resale is not Richemont's result. The watch does not move with the jewel.
Cash is the piece sold, minus the discount. The dividend has to fit. It is not a jewel that appreciates on its own.
Sustainable Competitive Advantage
"The advantage is the client who already asks for that house and the store that already sells it. They can buy elsewhere. The moat narrows if China falls, or if the discount eats the jewel and the watch does not make it up."

Health is the group's debt, not of a waiting list already collected. Quality separates the jewelry margin from the watch. Growth follows pieces sold, not waits. P/E is read against a year of heavy jewelry sales, not against that peak. Shareholder return is the dividend, checked against cash. Do not read it as a price that rises on its own.
The P/E of a year of heavy jewelry sales is not the earnings if pieces must be discounted. EV/EBITDA is read without treating the wait as a sale. Do not use Hermès's multiple, which sells bags, as if the jewel and the watch were the same book. A dash if CFR.SW is missing.
