In celebration of their three-year partnership with the British Film Institute, IWC Schaffhausen held a star-studded VIP gala dinner within the lush surroundings of London’s Battersea Park.
A vast array of big-name faces attending the event, including the likes of Emily Blunt, Christoph Waltz, Mick Jagger, Stephen Fry and Julie Walters. Hosted by IWC CEO Georges Kern and BFI CEO Amanda Nevill, the affair was an enormous success, giving those in attendance the chance to celebrate the extraordinary charitable efforts of the BFI.
A cocktail reception awaited guests as they arrived at the venue, which housed IWC’s “Timeless Portofino” exhibition, as photographed by acclaimed photographer Peter Lindbergh. The photos were taken as part of the Swiss watch brand’s new Timeless Portofino watch collection, which is now available worldwide. Brand ambassadors Cate Blanchett, Ewan McGregor, Emily Blunt and Christoph Waltz were photographed in a stunning shoot that took place in Portofino, Italy (pictured below).
Guests were also able to marvel at the watches themselves, which were on display throughout the venue. This was of course until the evening gave way to night, and DJ Jack E took the the decks for a lively performance, which went down a treat.
