For the past two years I have been enjoying the pleasure of visiting the Zurich Film Festival with IWC, the beautiful and luxurious watch making company from Schaffhausen. For IWC it was the fourth time to be the cooperating partner of the Zurich Film Festival, the brand has a strong commitment to Filmmakers and to the cinema. For this special occasion IWC and representatives of the Swiss and international Film industry invited a lot of personalities from the world of media, art, business and politics to attend the event. And a nice collection of influencers, ambassadors and friends of the amazing brand were on the grand guest list, just like myself.
IWC is one of the largest leading brands in the luxury watch segment and they are known for combining supreme precision with exclusive design. You can see it in every fine detail of the watches, each piece is a little piece of artwork.
What they do they do in style and my trip was organized perfectly and it offered luxury and great hospitality from the beginning to the end.
A driver picked me up at the Zurich Airport from IWC who drove me to Hyatt Hotel, where I had a chance to get ready for the event. For this special evening you can see me wearing the IWC Portofino Automatic Moon Phase 37, in 18 carat red gold with 66 sparkling diamonds. A beautiful and glamorous watch, a perfect accessory for a glamorous night.
Before everything started a little group of selected people, which I was among, got to meet the famous actor James Marsden in the IWC-Lounge at the ZFF Festival Centre. It was great to meet James in person and during the Meet-and-Greet he held a little speech and was open to answer a few questions.
From there we were transferred to the Aura, the location for the evening, where we had the great opportunity to make our own little movie in a photo booth. What a beautiful idea and so perfect for this occasion. I had a lot of fun and you can see my little movie attached to this post.
From there on we were led to the red carpet and after our pictures were taken, we were greeted with drinks and the entertainment started.
The program was exciting and fun and next to a Gala Dinner and the Award Ceremony, the CEO of IWC Christoph Grainger-Herr held a little entertaining speech as well.
The Hollywood actor James Marsden presented the third Filmmaker Award entitled “For the love of Cinema” as part of the 13th Zurich Film Festival. The jury had chosen “Paradise War” as the winning Film.
The evening was glamorous and very entertaining and I had a wonderful time, meeting great people and enjoying the program.
The Zurich Film Festival is a great institution that helps to support Swiss Film Projects and that is, in cooperation with IWC Schaffhausen, a perfect host for a perfect cause, and another unforgettable event with IWC.
