Tatler Asia’s Timeless event was an exceptional showcase of horology and art
This September was a good time to be at The Londoner Macao’s Crystal Palace, which is a love letter to all things British, from scones and jam to the Union Jack. But it wasn’t just the dramatic display of British pageantry that was on show between September 25 and 26. Over two days, power players from the worlds of business, media and (most importantly) timekeeping descended for the highly anticipated debut of Tatler’s Timeless event.
Hosted in collaboration with one of watchmaking’s most influential authorities, the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG), which annually rewards the industry’s most influential heavyweights and their groundbreaking pieces, Timeless brought together a celebration of horology and art. The world’s most creative and complex watches were on display—and some even handled by those lucky enough to secure a VIP session.
On that first day, the officiating ceremony headed up by Tatler’s chairman and CEO Michel Lamunière and a glamorous afterparty drew glittering crowds, including Taiwanese actor Yo Yang. Attendees sipped Moët & Chandon and Hennessy, which accompanied full-bodied caviar from the exclusive Royal Caviar Club. If that wasn’t enough, the following day welcomed watch aficionados from the general public, who were invited to participate in intimate masterclasses on mechanical movements and more.
