Such an international showcase\u2014bringing together the greatest maisons and a wide audience of journalists, collectors, and enthusiasts\u2014could not be overlooked.<\/p>\n<p>With the upcoming charity auction benefiting the Foundation on the horizon, this day provided an opportunity to share our mission and raise awareness among potential new partners. Thanks to Philippe Dufour\u2019s exceptional reputation in the watchmaking world, our presence at the event generated particular interest\u2014especially among creators and watchmaking artisans open to the idea of donating a unique or symbolic timepiece to support our initiatives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A highlight: the Ladies\u2019 Lunch in Lausanne<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Human connections and a philanthropic network<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the fair, we had the honor of attending the Ladies\u2019 Lunch in Lausanne\u2014a philanthropic association founded in 1991 by Mrs. Carmela Lagonico, bringing together committed women from diverse professional backgrounds. This elegant and warm-hearted luncheon offered a welcoming setting for the Foundation to be introduced, fostering meaningful exchange and heartfelt connection.<\/p>\n<p>We shared the spirit that drives our work, our ongoing projects\u2014particularly our commitment to supporting children and women in vulnerable situations\u2014and our determination to bring forth concrete, lasting solutions, far from indifference.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A day full of promise<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Though distinct in nature, both events shared a common goal: building bridges between the worlds of luxury, creativity, and social action. The day was also marked by numerous valuable encounters\u2014often unexpected, but always meaningful. These moments point to promising prospects and pave the way for exciting future collaborations.<\/p>\n<p>It is in this convergence that the Philippe &amp; \u00c9lisabeth Dufour Foundation draws part of its strength: the ability to connect artisanal excellence with human responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>We warmly thank all those we met that day for their attentiveness, their support, and their openness to a cause that is so close to our hearts.<\/p>\n<p>The Foundation Board<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-4813\" src=\"https:\/\/dufourfondation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Event-Geneve-Montage-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"769\" height=\"769\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dufourfondation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Event-Geneve-Montage-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dufourfondation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Event-Geneve-Montage-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dufourfondation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Event-Geneve-Montage-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dufourfondation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Event-Geneve-Montage-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dufourfondation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Event-Geneve-Montage-1-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/dufourfondation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Event-Geneve-Montage-1-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/dufourfondation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Event-Geneve-Montage-1-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dufourfondation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Event-Geneve-Montage-1-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/dufourfondation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Event-Geneve-Montage-1.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 769px) 100vw, 769px\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Le Conseil de Fondation en visite \u00e0 Watches and Wonders Geneva Un rendez-vous incontournable pour faire rayonner notre mission humaniste Le vendredi 3 avril, le Conseil de la Fondation Philippe &amp; \u00c9lisabeth Dufour s\u2019est rendu \u00e0 Watches and Wonders Geneva, l\u2019\u00e9v\u00e9nement horloger le plus prestigieux au monde.
