Jaeger-LeCoultre & La Biennale

In 2008, Jaeger-LeCoultre celebrated its fourth year of partnership with the most glamorous of all film festivals - the Venice International Film Festival (August 27 - September 6, 2008), known by aficionados as "Mostra" - by adopting an even higher profile during the event highlights. This year, Jaeger-LeCoultre was involved in all the festivities, ranging from the famous Golden Lion prize-giving ceremony to the celebration of the film-making heritage, as well as adorning the stars on the Red Carpet 2008 for the screening of their films, and hosted an Extraordinary Party.

Since its very beginning, the Venice Film Festival has distinguished itself for its independent spirit, innovation, respect for tradition and quest for artistic quality - values dear to Jaeger-LeCoultre, the Reference in fine watchmaking.
