Ambassador Giger’s Praise for the Made-in-Ghana Timepiece
Holding the orange wristwatch from an open box, Ambassador Giger beamed with excitement as she turned it over in her hands, marvelling at its craftsmanship.
She drew attention to how perfectly the piece complemented the Kente cloths she had collected during her time in Ghana, including an orange and blue Kente she received from President John Dramani Mahama when she visited the Jubilee House to formally bid farewell ahead of the end of her posting.
The ambassador’s enthusiasm was more than polite diplomacy. Coming from a representative of Switzerland, the birthplace of modern watchmaking and home to storied brands such as Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Audemars Piguet, her praise carried particular weight.
She spoke warmly of Amofah’s talent, positioning him among the continent’s best in the craft.
