At the end of last year, watchmaker Bovet hosted the Brilliant is Beautiful Gala in partnership with Artists for Peace and Justice (APJ), benefitting the organization’s global education fund for women. Through programs in education, health-care, and dignity through the arts, APJ
supports communities in Haiti and removes barriers that poverty poses to the future of opportunity for children.
With more than 50% of Haitians living in extreme poverty, APJ is committed to the long-term development of local communities in direct partnership with the Haitian people to foster economic growth and education.

At the gala, guest of honor Petra Nemcova and esteemed friends gathered at Claridge’s Hotel in London for an intimate dinner in support of women’s education. Uniting global talent, the event was co-hosted by Bovet’s Pascal Raffy, APJ founder Paul Haggis, actresses and activists Kim Cattrall and Elizabeth Hurley, co-chairs Caroline Stanbury, Mike and Sukey Novogratz, and explorer Johan Ernst Nilson.
The events mission was to not just raise awareness but also empower women through education and the power of acknowledging their achievements. A sum of over half a million pounds was raised at the gala.
