Jaeger-LeCoultre : Reverso SQUADRA

This was one party I didn't expected to get invited to! Jaeger-LeCoultre was launching their Reverso Squadra and as my family is a hard core fan of the brand, I was invited by their MD, Maxime Labey. The party was held at a way unusual place, inside the auditorium of the Esplanade Theatre....and so Ade and me suited up and trotted down to check it out. It was quite strange at first...being on stage at the theatre...but then as the night went on and the curtains came up with more and more to see....the fancy face changing from China eventually gave way to the launch of the Reverso Squadra! WOAH!!!! It is WAY WAY cool! The normal version (if there is such a thing as a normal Jaeger) starts at about $9K and the very limited to 1500 pieces world timer titanium version kicks at $25K!!! Well....supprise supprise we didn't really catch many familiar faces but Patrick Ee and Sharon Wang were in attendance....as did George and his date later on! The other thing that was really in short supply that night was FOOD. The little tit bits they had really did not lend itself to a 8.00 pm function when people come after work and are starving! (I do with other events managers should learn!) So off we went..trooped down to Harry's Bar and availed ourself to bar food.....oh sigh......note to self...make sure to have decent meal before big night out on the town!
