Audemars Piguet brings time to a standstill for an evening

On 8 April 2008, Jasmine Audemars, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Georges-Henri Meylan, CEO of the Audemars Piguet Manufacture, hosted the guests at the Halle des Sablières for a grand gala dinner. Each guest's picture was taken and displayed on a large wall of photos which ultimately formed an immense fresco that captured the moment in time. Another interpretation of suspended time was presented by the dance company Motus Modules. These artists of the extreme perform a magical aerial ballet combining dance, choreography on the ground and aerial theatre.

In the final act of this delightful evening, the mythical group Earth, Wind & Fire enchanted the guests with its greatest hits, on a trip down forty years of a musical career. After a true fusion of different musical sources including jazz, blues and gospel, the musicians ended with a resounding performance of disco rhythms that rocked the audience.

Talented and sublime ambassadors of the brand, the singer Anggun and actress Michelle Yeoh lit up the evening with their presence. Among the sporting ambassadors, the skiers Manfred Moelgg, 2008 World Cup slalom champion, and Giorgio Rocca, and the golfers Nora Angehrn, Gonzalo Fernandez-Castaño and Julien Clement were also present.
