Rolex Mentors and Protégés X Spike Lee: the crowned talent

It’s as discreet as it is effective. What makes it stand out? For nearly 20 years, a mentor of an artistic discipline has scouted a protégé and ensured his or her growth over the course of a year thanks to the initiative of the Rolex Foundation. The future president of the jury of the Cannes Film Festival, director Spike Lee has opted to highlight the talent of Kyle Bell. Like Martin Scorsese, Stephan Frears or Alejandro G Inarritu before him, the legend has chosen a promising talent who shares his commitment to highlighting the beautiful values of a particular community – the African-American community in one case and Native American for the other. Generosity, sharing and transmission are the three axes that govern this program, which is as ambitious in human terms as it is artistically demanding. For the Oscars, Spike Lee, leaving nothing to chance, found the perfect match by combining a magnificent GMT Master II Everose with a suit paying homage to the late Kobe Bryan’s number 24 in purple and gold!
