On September 26, Girard-Perregaux and Susan and David Rockefeller joined forces with Nile Rodgers for the “Changing Watch” event supporting We Are Family Foundation.
The evening began with a cocktail hour at Cipriani 42nd St. displaying select Girard-Perregaux timepieces. Of particular distinction being the revolutionary new Constant Escapement. Industry powerhouses from the worlds of watchmaking, fashion, music, sport, and philanthropy mingled together under Renaissance inspired high vaulted ceilings and gorgeous chandeliers.
Susan and David Rockefeller introduced their new Protect What is Precious initiative and spoke of their philanthropic goals. They featured their new video “Take Time”, which speaks to seeing the world’s beauty and protecting its fragility. Michele Sofisti, CEO of Sowind (Girard-Perregaux and JEANRICHARD) presented Susan and David and Nile Rodgers with a special Mission of Mermaids (MoM) timepiece in honor of their constant work and dedication to support We Are Family Foundation.
“Susan, David and Nile are like guardian angels”, said Michele. “Encouraging others to follow in the right steps to make Planet Earth a special place”.
“Changing Watch was a special evening with the powers of music, watchmaking and a new generation uniting to support the great cause of We Are Family Foundation”, said Susan Rockefeller. “Hopefully this will encourage other to join the fight and make a difference”.
“Helping the world by empowering our youth is a big responsibility but one that inspires me everyday”, said Nile Rodgers. “The work that Susan, David, Girard-Perregaux and We Are Family Foundation have done tonight with Changing Watch is a living example of what can be accomplished working together”
Ensuing the presentation, young teen leader Dylan Vecchione of ReefQuest presented a video of his work and recognized other young teen leaders from around the globe in attendance who are taking a stand to protect their world.
The accompanying charity auction was amiably competitive. Among the auction items was of one MoM men’s special edition watch designed in collaboration with Susan Rockefeller and “Pamper Yourself” experience courtesy of Girard-Perregaux.
