IWC sponsors the BFI London Film Festival

The annual BFI London Film Festival is returning to the capital once again, launching on 8th October. Marking the 58th time it’s taken place in the city, the festival is set to be bigger and better than ever and, with big-time sponsor IWC on board as the Official Time Partner, it won’t disappoint.

A number of exciting new films will get their first showings at the seminal event, which takes place throughout 17 venues across the capital. Twelve full days of movie action will get underway come October 8th, and with 248 films to screen, it’s set to be an action-packed affair.

Similar to how the BFI London Film Festival is renowned within the movie industry, IWC are highly-regarded within the watch industry. The partnership looks to be the perfect fit, and the famed Swiss watchmakers couldn’t be happier to be involved.

IWC CEO Georges Kern said, ‘Our desire is to nurture this incredibly special relationship, build an exceptional partnership, and to create and deliver impeccable events. Our brands share many qualities, such as a long history, a proud heritage and a passion for cinema. I believe that these qualities will continue to be nourished and communicated in the years ahead.”

The BFI London Film Festival takes place from 8th October until 19th October 2014 at various locations throughout London. To find out more information about the partnership and IWC Schaffhausen, please visit their website or connect with IWC Schaffhausen on Facebook or on Twitter @IWCWatches
