Luxury watchmaker Girard-Perregaux announced this week that on Wednesday, September 25, the manufacture will join Susan and David Rockefeller for a good cause in New York City.

The event, which will take place at Cipriani’s 42nd Street, will honor the new generations that will inhabit the earth and those who will work to address some of the most critical environmental and social issues in our history. In tune with Girard-Perregaux’s mission to increase awareness for social and environmental sustainability, the event will be a celebration of power to protect what is precious.
“With Girard-Perregaux, our goal is to highlight those around us who have taken upon themselves to raise awareness to save our planet Earth,” Susan Rockefeller said in advance of the event. “Nile’s work with We Are Family Foundation, is the perfect example of the way in which science and creativity can bring people together in the fight for the future.”
Meanwhile Michele Sofisti, the CEO of Sowind (Girard-Perregaux and JEANRICHARD), added, “We are very proud to support Susan, David, Nile and We Are Family Foundation. In the same way that they nurture the young ambassadors of earth, we nurture our young masters to make sure the art of watchmaking is preserved and passed along to future generations.”
During the event, Girard-Perregaux will present two special edition watches designed in collaboration with Susan Rockefeller called the ‘Mission of Mermaids’. The timepieces, one men’s and one ladies’, are inspired by Susan’s most recent documentary of the same name, which tracks the philanthropist’s ties to the ocean.
The event will also feature an auction to support We Are Family Foundation, a special performance by Nile Rodgers and music by DJ Q-Tip.
