Rodolphe, Expo.02 And Shawne Fielding

At the latest Saignelégier Equestrian Fair, the well-known horse show which drew several hundreds of thousands of spectators, Rodolphe was appointed as ambassador of the Jura canton at Expo.02. The Jura canton, co-organiser of the event, is in fact the designer's mother country and the firm Rodolphe Montres & Bijoux is also registered in the canton.

During the official ceremony, Rodolphe (six million watches bearing his signature were sold worldwide last year!) had the pleasure of awarding one of his designs, the Sensual, set with 22 diamonds, to former Miss Texas Shawne Fielding-Borer, much featured in the media and the wife of Switzerland's ambassador in Berlin.
