Words: Gentleman's Journal
For the first time, the famous private London club, Annabel’s, made the trip to La Croisette to partner with Chopard for a ‘gents night’. This intimate, elegant evening was held on the Chopard Rooftop, pervaded by a distinctly “genteel man-about-town” atmosphere. Special guests included actor Jake Gyllenhaal; Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton; driver Romain Dumas; along with personalities such as Robin Thicke, David Gandy, Dita von Teese, Petra Nemcova, Pixie Lott, Oliver Cheshire, Kristina Bazan, Gala Gonzalez and Imogen Waterhouse.
Before the evening event, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, Chopard Co-President and his friend, Jacky Ickx, arrived at the foot of the staircase leading up to the Palais des Festivals in a Porsche 550 Spyder, prior to heading for the Chopard Rooftop.
Guests had an opportunity to enjoy Japanese whiskys – among which the famous Nikka Whisky – and Scottish wiskys, Monte Christo cigars while dancing to the music of Jack Guinness, London DJ, model and actor, who mixes at some of the biggest events around.
