Double Launch for OMEGA Malaysia

In the month of October, OMEGA Malaysia combined the launch of the new Planet Ocean with another major milestone, the unveiling its largest global concept store in Malaysia at Starhill with international film star and the brand’s ambassador, Simon Yam.
Regional press members were invited to the 'OMEGA Day'. A tour of the OMEGA Starhill Boutique just before noon and followd by lunch. Subsequently the Planet Ocean Launch event in the evening.

Now a recount of the day ....

The relaunched 1600 square feet Starhill Boutique in Kuala Lumpur is refurbished with the new concept design by well-known Japanese architect Kazuo Adachi, together with his partner Hiroshi Yamashita of design Fresco Inc.

The design concept explained :

The brilliant lighting illuminating the products in the show window represents the sun’s light rays. A stroke pattern above the displays casts shadows and reflects light – a perfect depiction of clouds gathering water to generate rain. Vertical tracks express rainfall; the rain, in turn, symbolizes time which is never still and which never returns in exactly the same form. Finally, below the displays, chiselled and silvered glass suggests an exposed cross section of the earth, which reveals a history of time.

Planet Ocean, a subcollection under the Seamaster, consists of about 60 references for the Gents' Collection and 28 references for the Ladies Collection.

Will elaborate a bit more in the next post for the Planet Ocean launch.

Pondering before replying ...

He mentioned he has been collecting more than a decade with about 50 over watches. Also has quite many vintage OMEGA pieces,
and he knows where to get his sources which have quite dried up after the successful OMEGAMania.

This 56-year-old Hong Kong gentleman is in the showbiz for more than twenty years and has won numerous Best Actor awards.
He is also an ambasador for OMEGA since 2000!

Posing for a few pics ...
