Baume & Mercier was extremely honoured to celebrate her talent and offered her the “PromesseTaormina Award”.

Rebecca Hall received a Promesse Watch, the iconic collection for women. Embodying a strong and precious bond, this 30 mm-diameter polished steel watch is distinguished by an oval bezel subtly enhanced by the presence of 30 finely set diamonds. A true promise of enduring commitment, this piece features a white mother-of-pearl dial with “drapé” decor combining Roman numerals and indexes for a pure, refined aesthetic.
Renato Scloza, Brand Manager of Baume & Mercier Italy, gave her the watch on stage in the Antique Theater under the sky of Taormina.

Violante Placido is an Italian actress and singer, born in Roma. She is the daughter of actor-director Michele Placido and actress Simonetta Stefanelli. In 2010, she appeared alongside George Clooney in the drama-thriller The American. She also played Nadya in the 2012 film Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, a sequel to the 2007 film Ghost Rider, both based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name.

Violante Placido received a Petite Promesse. Novelty 2016 of the Promesse Collection, this model fitted with a blue strap – bright, deep and modern. The wrap around strap and its calfskin with contemporary finishing give
this polished steel watch, partially set with diamonds, a very trendy contrast of chic and glamor – all the makings of a genuine style accessory.
Renato Scloza was proud to offer her the Promesse Award which celebrates her talent.

Rebecca Hall and Violante Placido are perfect icons to wear this iconic Promesse watches, and Baume & Mercier was honoured to celebrate feminity and talent through these awards.
