PARIS, Apr 22, 2007/ FW/ --- Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey wowed the audience at the 17th International Fair of Fine Luxury Watchmaking in Geneva with ‘ Leo and Lisa,’ a unique play written especially for the occasion by Spacey and starring himself in the lead role alongside Thandie Newton.

Produced by Kevin Spacey in collaboration with IWC Schaffhausen to celebrate the company’s Da Vinci watches models, the award winning actor played a dominant, boorish and autocratic inquisitor, and addressed the question of Mona Lisa's smile.

Thandie Newton, known from "Mission: Impossible 2", was outstanding in the leading female role of Lisa. Elliot Cowan, who played the role of Leo, appeared in Oliver Stone's historical epic, "Alexander".

The play ran for around 15- minutes, and the guests were invited into an amphitheatre built especially for this event, where "Leo and Lisa" had its celebrated premiere.

Although the launch of the latest Da Vinci watches was the incentive for the magnificent "Serata di Leonardo" from IWC, stars of an entirely different kind were in the spotlight at the start of this glittering event. Oscar winner Cate Blanchett and the actors Jean Reno and Matthew Modine headed the cohort of actors on the red carpet, flanked by Asian stars Sanada Hiroyuki and Chang Cheng.

The singer Ronan Keating and world-class foot-baller Zinedine Zidane posed before the photographers, and Laureus sporting legends like Boris Becker and Alberto Tomba graced the "Serata di Leonardo" with their presence.
