Friendly Fire. Lewis Hamilton. Lewis and Nico Rosberg arrived together. You could cut the friendliness with a knife.

Georges Kern to Christoph Waltz: “Now Christoph, you will be the villain in the new Bond movie, yes?”

Christoph Waltz: “You seem to know more than me Georges….”

Georges Kern: “Well James bond is wearing a brand I don’t remember the name of, but Christoph, you will be wearing an IWC, can you make sure you beat him this time?”

The beautiful Emily Blunt with one of the greatest actors alive, Christoph Waltz. IWC sure pull a quality crowd.

Georges Kern to Emily Blunt: “The Portugieser has become an icon of watchmaking, if you were to name the most iconic actor of our time who would it be for you?”

Emily Blunt: “Meryl. It would have to be Meryl Streep. She is fearless and changeable. It is all Meryl.”

Emily Blunt, as eloquent as she is elegant. And a big Meryl Streep fan.
