Star photographer Matthew Brookes
implemented MEISSEN’s new image
campaign in New York with two international
top models. MEISSEN ®
CEO Christian Kurtzke planned
the campaign in collaboration with
Untitled Verlag.
‘My aim is to position MEISSEN ® globally as a German
luxury brand. Therefore I wanted an international,
top level image campaign,’ declares MEISSEN’s
CEO Dr Christian Kurtzke (42). The MEISSEN ®
manufactory is more than 300 years old and is worldfamous
for its porcelain. It launched its own jewellery
range last year, creating a stir internationally. Now in
year two, Kurtzke is instigating the next stage: the
‘1739 Royal Blossom’ collection is being added to
MEISSEN’s jewellery range. The collection is named
after an ornament given by Elector August III to his
wife, Maria Josepha of Austria. ‘With our ultra-feminine
flower rings, we are now entering a price category
that starts just below 1000 euros. We hope to attract
younger customers to MEISSEN ® in this way,’ explains
Kurtzke. The manufactory is also launching its
Objets d’Art, artistic objects based on MEISSEN’s
long-standing tradition, which have been reinterpreted
and presented as jewellery items. The items can be
viewed in Basel where the manufactory is now based
on First Avenue. Kurtzke also announces that there
will be another surprise at the trade show but he’s not
giving any more details yet.
