Luxury watch and jewelry distributor with hotel and real estate divisions
Grupo Cadarso is a family-owned distributor of prestige watch and jewelry brands across Spain, Portugal, and Andorra, with separate hotel and real estate operating units. The tech stack reveals a traditional retail infrastructure—PrestaShop for commerce, SAP for ERP, Microsoft 365 for operations—paired with analytics (Google Analytics, Looker Studio) that suggests active effort to understand ecommerce performance. The hiring mix (marketing and sales roles dominating, all in Spain) and project focus on A/B testing and conversion optimization indicate a push to modernize digital channels.
Grupo Cadarso began in 1948 as a watch and jewelry distributor and now operates across three divisions: a national distribution business covering Spain, Portugal, and Andorra; a real estate portfolio; and Condes Hotels, a luxury hotel group acquired starting in 1995. The company employs over 450 people. The distribution unit focuses on curating international prestige brands with service emphasis, while Condes Hotels operates two Barcelona properties—the flagship Hotel Condes and Hotel España—plus the 5-star luxury Monument Hotel on Paseo de Gracia.
