From the West…The event began in an autumnal scene on Cornwell Farm, near Washington, D.C., where a journey inspired by themes from the collection and three necklaces, the Panthère Pointilliste, Pinéas and Dohara, was revealed. Les Moments Cartier saw Alexandre Auberson, Director of the Cartier Jewellery Institute, lead an interactive masterclass in the presence of Pascale Lepeu, Curator of the Collection, and experts from the Maison’s Archives.
In the evening, a Gala was held at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium featuring a performance from Debbie Harry. In the city, exhibitions in the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History and the Hillwood Estate showcased the style and history of the Maison in the United States.
