IWC Schaffhausen took on responsibilities as a co-partner of the Zurich Film Festival for the second time this year. The Swiss luxury watch manufacturer set the stage for a very special highlight during the festival: under the heading “IWC Schaffhausen Talks To”, selected guests of the Zurich Summit had a chance to listen to in-depth conversations with two world stars of cinema, Marc Forster and Christoph Waltz.
