The Allure of Watches and Fine Jewelry, Then and Now

On Wednesday, October 21, the Rodeo Drive Committee welcomed members and friends to the Champagne Room at the Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel, for an evening of cocktails and conversation. Part of Rodeo Drive Celebrates Timepieces and Fine Jewelry and the yearlong celebration of the Rodeo Drive Committee's 50th Anniversary, the evening brought together leaders of the houses on Rodeo Drive, City of Beverly Hills partners, press and friends of the street.

A Distinguished Panel

Moderated by Kathy Gohari, President of the Rodeo Drive Committee, the conversation brought together Jonathon Burford, Senior Vice President and Senior Watches Specialist at Sotheby's, Andrea Buccellati, Honorary President and Creative Designer of Buccellati, and Lucrezia Buccellati, VP of Client Relations and a member of the Buccellati design team. Together, they explored what has drawn generations to fine watches and jewelry, from the heritage and craftsmanship of the great houses to how collectors and clients discover them today.
