BLACKPINK’s Lisa has sparked intrigue by showcasing a limited-edition Bvlgari watch, a result of her collaboration with the luxury brand.
On January 10, Lisa shared a series of photos on Instagram, one of which featured the hands of a couple wearing matching watches. Fans speculate that the hands belong to Lisa and Frédéric Arnault, the rumored couple.
Frédéric Arnault is the fourth son of Bernard Arnault, the chairman of LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy), the world’s largest luxury group and currently the fifth-richest person globally. A graduate of the prestigious École Polytechnique in France, Frédéric has served as CEO of TAG Heuer and is now the head of LVMH’s watch division, overseeing brands like Hublot, Zenith, and TAG Heuer.
The watch in the photo is a limited-edition Bvlgari Bvlgari model created in collaboration with Lisa. Known for its iconic design, the watch features a stainless steel case paired with an 18-carat rose gold bezel and is adorned with round brilliant-cut diamonds. The case back is engraved with Edelweiss, Lisa’s favorite flower. The watch, sized at 33mm and priced around 11.3 million KRW (approximately $8,800), appears slightly small on the hand believed to belong to Frédéric Arnault.
In other photos, Lisa is seen holding a Louis Vuitton product, leading some fans to interpret it as a subtle nod to her rumored relationship with Arnault.
Since 2023, Lisa and Frédéric Arnault have been embroiled in dating rumors. The speculation intensified when news broke of Lisa traveling with Arnault’s family, sparking even marriage rumors. Lisa was also seen warmly greeting Bernard Arnault and his wife during a Louis Vuitton event at Paris Fashion Week, further fueling the rumors.
Lisa has yet to officially address these dating rumors. However, the lyrics of her unreleased song, Moonlit Floor, have drawn attention, with fans interpreting the line “A green-eyed French boy got me trippin’” as a reference to Arnault, potentially hinting at their relationship.
LVMH, headquartered in France, is the world’s largest luxury goods company and the most valuable company on Euronext by market capitalization. It owns numerous prestigious brands, including Louis Vuitton, Dior, Givenchy, Fendi, Celine, and Bvlgari, as well as watchmakers like TAG Heuer, Zenith, and Hublot. However, the company has faced challenges recently, with its growth slowing due to declining consumer spending in China, impacting its sales.
