At Piguet Galland, we strongly believe that culture is a powerful catalyst for personal growth and social connection. As a committed private bank, we actively support events that celebrate creativity, sharing, and the transmission of knowledge. Our cultural partnerships with major events such as Les Rencontres du 7e Art Lausanne and Art Genève / Musique embody this commitment and highlight our desire to contribute to the vibrancy of Swiss cultural life.
Art Genève / Musique: celebrating art, innovation, and immersive experiences
Art Genève / Musique is a flagship partnership for Piguet Galland, reflecting our dedication to supporting contemporary art and nurturing emerging creative talent. The 13th edition, set to take place from January 30 to February 2, 2025, at Palexpo, Geneva, will bring together 80 galleries specializing in modern and contemporary art. Featuring a diverse array of mediums—painting, video, sculpture, and more—Art Genève continues to cultivate an authentic and dynamic dimension while strengthening its national and international connections.
Since 2014, Piguet Galland & Cie SA has supported Art Genève / Musique, a unique platform dedicated to sound-based, performative, and ephemeral artworks. This initiative has led to the creation of over 40 new works in Geneva and beyond, demonstrating the transformative power of artistic expression through sound and performance.
For the 2025 edition, WOLFTONES SCORES presents an ambitious musical programme in partnership with the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande and the Grand Théâtre de Genève. This series explores the acoustic phenomenon known as the "wolf tone," both as a sound phenomenon and a metaphor for our relationship with norms.
For our clients, partners, and employees, we create exclusive opportunities to discover current artistic trends in a privileged setting.
Les Rencontres du 7e Art Lausanne: a cinema without borders
Les Rencontres du 7e Art Lausanne holds a unique position in the Swiss and international cinematic landscape. Unlike traditional film festivals, this event is a non-competitive space where cinema is celebrated as a universal heritage and a medium for dialogue. Each year, a central theme sheds light on works and discussions that resonate with contemporary social, political, and cultural issues. Open to the general public, this event showcases masterpieces of the past and present in a welcoming and accessible atmosphere.
For its 8th edition, taking place from March 7 to 16, 2025, Les Rencontres du 7e Art Lausanne will revolve around the theme of LOVE. This theme will explore the multifaceted nature of love—romantic, social, and universal—through an eclectic programme combining classic and contemporary works. Discussions, screenings, and exchanges between filmmakers, thinkers, and audiences will highlight how cinema translates the emotions and dynamics of human relationships and love.
Piguet Galland is proud to support this initiative, which offers an inclusive cinematic experience with high-quality programming, reduced-ticket screenings, and large-scale projections. Our partnership also enables us to organize exclusive events for our clients, fostering enriching exchanges with influential figures from the worlds of cinema and literature. Intergenerational meetings and dialogues between professionals, students, and the wider public embody the values of transmission and sharing that are central to our mission.
Supporting culture: a long-term commitment
Through these partnerships, Piguet Galland reaffirms its commitment to promoting culture in all its forms and providing unique experiences that contribute to personal and collective growth. We are convinced that culture plays a central role in society and that access to it should be facilitated for all. Whether through cinema or contemporary art, these collaborations allow us to support initiatives that align with our vision of a responsible bank deeply rooted in the social and cultural fabric of our country.
By supporting events like Les Rencontres du 7e Art Lausanne and Art Genève / Musique, we assert our role as an engaged partner, actively contributing to the cultural and artistic vitality of Switzerland.
