lifting one’s self above others

French translation: L'art de se distinguer

Marketing - General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
English term or phrase: lifting one’s self above others
(...)
For the last 30 years, we have encapsulated the meaning of that philosophy and infused it within two principles :

- That our customer shares our passion as if it was a love affair
- That the art of ** lifting one’s self above others ** is the art of less rather than more

---
Je ne comprends pas trop le sens de "lifting one's self above others" ici, et par conséquent, de la phrase dans son ensemble.

(Nb. : il est question d'un horloger-joaillier haut de gamme.)
