The highlight of the evening was a performance designed especially for IWC by the Cirque du Soleil
Around 800 guests from all over the world joined IWC in its Inside The Wave gala which celebrates the launch of the new Aquatimer collection. Friends of the Brand who lent their megawatt support include Hollywood stars Kevin Spacey, Marc Forster, Ewan McGregor, sports icons Luis Figo, Fabian Cancellara, Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, and supermodels Karolina Kurkova and Adriana Lima. Enveloped in an underwater domain, everyone was enthralled by the Cirque du Soleil’s dazzling performance themed on the concept of time. Former Supertramp vocalist Roger Hodgson also rocked the stage before DJ Jack E from Saint-Tropez took over.
