BAUME & MERCIER PRESENTS THE 19TH ANNUAL HAMPTONS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

Baume & Mercier, the luxury Swiss watchmaker,  sponsored the 19th Annual Hamptons International Film Festival (HIFF), which will ran from Thursday, October 13 through Monday, October 17.

“We are thrilled to support the Hamptons International Film Festival and celebrate Baume & Mercier’s seaside living lifestyle,” said Rudy Chavez, President of Baume & Mercier North America.  “We’re pleased to share in the success of the talented filmmakers that illustrate our brand motto ‘life is about moments’ through their role as storytellers.”

Baume & Mercier hosted the star studded Wolffer Estate party on Friday, October 14th where guests had the opportunity to view the new Hampton collection inspired by a 1940s museum piece from the Swiss Maison d’Horlogerie’s archives.

Fresh of a flight from Sweden, True Blood’s hottest vampire Alexander Skarsgard showed no signs of jet lag at the Baume & Mercier party where he was joined by fellow Hamptons International Film Festival breakthrough performers Erza Miller, Stine Fischer Christensen, Anton Yelchin and Shailene Woodley.  The friendly Melancholia star graciously posed with fans and enjoyed an exclusive preview of luxury Swiss watchmaker’s Hampton collection which will hit retailers later this month. Self professed watch connoisseur and former Mets Manager Bobby Valentine who attended the festival to premiere his new documentary Pelotero, Festival Chairman Stuart Suna, Mark Anker, film directors Tim Fehlbaum and Lorrel Manning were among others attended the private affair at the Wolffer Estate Vinyard in Sagaponack.

Baume & Mercier’s new Hampton collection which launches this fall will be available at London Jewelers. Designed to reflect Baume & Mercier’s seaside living lifestyle, the Hampton timepieces feature clean, architectural lines, warm rose gold accents and a sun-deck decorated case back, perfect for personalization and reminiscent of a Hamptons’ home. Like a prelude to the world of seaside living in the Hamptons, the Hampton collection, a classic of the brand, captures the indescribable beauty of these spaces between land and sea and the discreet, relaxed sophistication of their residents.
