Dubai's Music Hall hosted the annual Watches & Jewellery of the Year Awards on November 17th, celebrating its 15th anniversary this year. Mr. Pascal Raffy, Owner of Maison BOVET 1822, was honored with “Lifetime Achievement Award” for his visionary contribution to fine Swiss Watchmaking. The trophy was presented to Mr. Pascal Raffy by H.E. Mr. Massimo Baggi, Ambassador of Switzerland to the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Bahrain.
The peculiarity of this event lies in the composition of the Jury which awards the various distinctions. This one is essentially made up of famous collectors who do not have any professional link with the houses selected in the different categories of this contest.
While Maison Bovet has been regularly awarded prizes in recent editions, its owner, Mr. Pascal Raffy was honored to receive the "Lifetime Achievement Award 2019" for his visionary contribution to fine Swiss Watchmaking. This is perhaps one of the most beautiful prizes awarded to Maison Bovet because it salutes all the efforts made by Mr. Pascal Raffy and the craftsmen of the House since 2001, when Mr. Raffy became the owner of Bovet 1822.
The recognition of collectors testifies to the passion and selflessness that Mr. Pascal Raffy has tirelessly infused with the artisans of the House to write time in its most noble expression for many generations.
