WHERE Shanghai Expo Centre, Shanghai
: Luxury Swiss watchmaker Jaeger-LeCoultre, which is known for its dedicated support to the film industry, threw a soiree during the Shanghai International Film Festival. Chinese stars such as Liu Tao and Tian Yuan attended the charity gala dinner along with Jaeger-LeCoultre's patrons, Chinese actress Zhao Wei and filmmaker Carmen Chaplin.
The brand has been supporting the promotion and preservation of Chinese films for five years, including funding a project to restore classic Chinese films. The latest addition to the restored repertoire is C'est la vie, Mon Cheri - a romantic love story by Hong Kong filmmaker Yee Tung-shing made in 1993 starring Anita Yuen and Sean Lau. The gala raised funds for the restoration project. A unique Rendez-vous Moon timepiece designed especially for the event was auctioned for the cause.
