Global superstars, Hollywood A-listers, and Asian celebrities shone brightly at glamorous events hosted by Jaeger-LeCoultre, official partner of the Venice International Film Festival for the 14th consecutive year.

A celebration of savoir faire
Festivities kicked off on August 31 at a Venetian gala dinner for 80 distinguished guests from all over the world at the magnificent Palais Pisani Moretta. The splendid palace, situated along the Grand Canal, has played host to such historical luminaries as Tsar Paul I of Russia, Joséphine Bonaparte, Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II and Goethe.

On this special evening, the gathering of contemporary leading lights was led by British actor Benedict Cumberbatch, brand ambassador of the Grande Maison. He gave an inspiring Letters Live performance as only a brilliant, multi-faceted performer knows how. Letters Live is a philanthropic initiative supported by Jaeger-LeCoultre that promotes the power of literacy by inviting world-class artists to perform live readings of historical letters on stage, while adding their own artistic interpretation to the original text.
