Dinner with Max Busser and Alain Silberstein
In addition to the cocktail event (click here to see the report), a dinner with Max and Alain was also held together with the Singapore distributer of Lamborghini, including three of the LP670 Super Veloce, which is apparently the latest, greatest and last of the Murcielago cars. But as seen in the photos below, there was the odd Ferrari thrown in as well. Owners of Lamborghinis in Singapore are probably a demographic with one of the highest number of MB&F watches per capita.
It was held at Au Petit Salut, an excellent French restaurant in the fashionable Dempsey Road area. Needless to say, there were several exotic cars in the driveway of the restaurant along with many exotic watches inside.
