Hi All, Dubai watch week in Hong Kong was a blast, especially with

the dinner on the final night with my enamel pieces !


It was held in the offices of Christie's in The Henderson (developed by Henderson Land, a well know listed property developer in Hong Kong  ), designed by the renowned architectural firm Zaha Hadid and inspired by the budd of Bauhinia (the official flower for Hong Kong).  The theme was watches with Asian influences and the pieces were curated by WristCheck (an upside scale pre-owned watch shop located in the Landmark, with shops such as Tiffany, LV, Bottega and other big brands) which borrowed the pieces from collectors.

For such a dinner, yours truly self-proclaimed enamel addict/slave for WPS naturally thought of Anita Porchet and her pieces !  The day of the event, I was debating whether it should it be the Rousseau enamel lion or the hefty 5131P with a "spiced" lime-green strap that matches the vegetation in the North Pole.  After thinking about it for a second, it was a no brainer for me to be double-wristed along with a shirt with colorful sleeves that complement the enamel dials ! 

Austen Chu (co-founder of WristCheck and is aka The AP Prince who has been very busy since giving birth to his baby) and I finally had a chance to catch up for lunch and at Dubai Watch Week.  Expect to hear exciting news from him.

Lots of alcohol accompanied that this tasty menu.  All in all, it was a fun week !

Once I have other photos on various watches, I will post on Horological Meandering. 

Cheers,

Gordon

That is awesome!! I have that as well in my collection! First one I see in the wild…I love the Hobnail bezel!!

I am a fan of the strap! Love the colours and they accent the dials perfectly!

I have been fascinated with all the different factory PP strap options out there. I feel it’s much lesser known the range available to try with their Patek
