The House of Boucheron is a French family dynasty founded by Frederic Boucheron in 1858, with the opening of his first store in the Galerie de Valois, at Palais-Royal, during the heyday of the Second French Empire. He created his atelier in 1866 and a year later won the Gold Medal during the Exposition Universelle (1867).
Boucheron also makes watches, and jewelry, and licenses its marque for perfumes. The watch and jewelry making segments have existed for over 150 years. Reference: Wikipedia
