The evening is characterized by the digit 8 (the number of character in the eighth film of the Director of Pulp Fiction), there are 888 invitees, and Chopard will present the Director and Maestro Marricone, winner of the Golden Globe Award, Critic’s Choice Award and Oscar nominee for the score of The Hateful Eight, with the L.U.C XPS Fairmined watch as a sign of acknowledgment of their achievement.
