Other celebrity guests walking the red carpet included Academy Award Winning actress Juliette Binoche, Avatar and Fast & Furious star Michelle Rodriguez and Grammy Winning violinist Miri Ben-Ari, and Businessman Flavio Briatore and wife Elisabetta Gregoraci, amongst others.
Mr. Ronaldo had been a fan of the brand for years, and so becoming an ambassador was a natural fit for him. “I’m excited to be representing Jacob & Co. watches globally,” said Ronaldo. "As a collector of watches and jewelry, I have always appreciated the design and quality of Jacob & Co. In fact, I’ve been a customer for years,” he continued. Jacob & Co. CEO Chris Del Gatto said, “Tonight was a magical night for Jacob & Co. We were thrilled to have had so many of our clients join us from all over the world, and to have had Cristiano here made it particularly special.”
