The night started on a high note, with a real Spitfire that rolled into the event space. Once the plane came to a stop, out popped British pilot Matt Jones, who is set to fly a silver Spitfire around the world. The journey is part of the “Silver Spitfire – The Longest Flight” project, of which IWC is the main sponsor. Entertainment for the night was provided by Kaleo, an Icelandic quartet, as well as the maison’s own house band.
