The legends on the silver screen
Since its beginnings in Biel 17 years ago, the Festival du Film Français d’Helvétie (FFFH), has offered its radiance to the movie French-speaking world. Built on a visionary celebration of the diffusion of the French language culture in German-speaking areas, this event has received more than 500 guests from the film industry since it was launched. Among them, there were both very famous actors and actresses as well as Swiss talents deserving a greater exposure. At the helm is Christian Kellenberger, co- founder and director of the Festival. He is the guardian of values that favor local production, proximity to the participants and the promotion of Swiss cinema.
And a festival director’s love affair with Tavannes Watch Co couldn’t have come at a better time. Because in the team of Florin Niculescu, a great watchmaking professional and owner with his wife of what was certainly the most mythical brand in Swiss watchmaking, people often think about scripts: there is not only this famous antique cinema, not far from the premises of the former Manufacture, which is still standing upright and full of liveliness in the middle of Tavannes, part of the Swiss Jura. But above all, there are these incredible images of a horological past that, if brought to the silver screen, could captivate new generations: such as the poem that the writer Colette wrote about “La Captive”, her mysterious Tavannes watch, such as this golf watch manufactured for the Prince of Wales, later Edward VIII, or such as these two English submariners who, thanks to their specific requirements, enabled Tavannes Watch Co to be at the origin of the very first waterproof watch in the history of watchmaking.
