History

The company Dickson Concepts was founded by Dickson Poon.

In 1987, ST Dupont was sold to Dickson Concepts.

In 1991, Harvey Nichols was acquired by the company from the Burton Group.

In January 2005, the company announced the acquisition of Bertolucci SA, manufacturer and distributor of luxury Swiss watches.[3]

In mid-February 2009, the company announced the end of its 20-plus year distributorship for Polo Ralph Lauren products in Asia effective 31 December 2009. The license is estimated by analysts to contribute 10 percent of its revenues.[4]
