Corum Admirals Cup Legend BASEL2011 launching
« on: August 13, 2011, 10:40:00 PM »
Thanks to Corum, Kong from The Hour Glass & Danny for extending the invite to the me and my friend. :Cheers:
Yesterdays event was the launching of the Basel 2011 collection of the Admirals Cup Legend.
The men's collection was presented in 2 tone pink gold and SS and full pink gold. 42mm automatic movement.
Ladies we have a mother of pearl dial with diamonds and no SS case. 38mm if i remember correctly.

This is the most formal event i have been to :P, everyone wearing their best and we even had live classical music playing the whole night.

Dinner was at Sage located at The Gardens and i must say food and wine that night was top notch!
On to the pics ;D
Sorry for the quality of the pics, lighting was really dim that night and they had ever changing light colors :o, so alot of pics turned out having like green/red/purple/yellow/pink colors :Laughing_on_floor:

This is how it looks like when i arrived.


The menu for the night.

Hehe off course, they didnt bring out the watches to view that night and only kept at the display.
But towards the end had a brief chance to have a try on the mens and look at the ladies model.
Lighting was really bad so didnt have pics of that sorry.

The couple at my table actually bought 1 pair that night.

She wasnt wearing any watch :Laughing_on_floor:

That event was only for the Admirals Cup and nothing else. I was looking forward to seeing some golden bridge as well but none :-[

Thats all the pics i have and useable. Almost entire dinner no one stood up to go to the display case to look at watches so i didnt roam around to snap pics also.
