OMEGA SPEEDMASTER EVENT

 
Oct 4, 2024, Vancouver On this October evening, I was reminded that while trends come and go, some things—like the legendary Speedmasters and a good glass of wine—are built to last. And while it may seem all about opulence, it was really an evening about community, shared stories, and appreciating the finer details.
 
For this special night, we paired six Speedmasters with six unique wines, each with a story to share. A uniquely curated wine pairing presentation designed specifically for Omega’s VIP clientele. My goal is to draw a direct connection between the handpicked wines and creatively showcase the artistry and innovation of each Omega reference.

IWC PORTUGIESER RELAUNCH


June 28, 2024, Vancouver To take part in the relaunch of one of the most iconic and historic watches from IWC was a profound honor. Portugieser to IWC is the Kelly bag to Hermes, and the Model D to Steinway Piano. The Portugieser is to IWC what the Kelly bag is to Hermès and the Model D to Steinway & Sons—a timeless emblem of craftsmanship and legacy. Initially, I envisioned retelling the story of the Portuguese merchants who sought large wristwatches with the precision of pocket watches, pairing it with a flight of Portuguese wines. However, that idea quickly evolved. I wanted to delve deeper, offering more substance to explore the finer details of the new Portugieser references.

IWC WATCHES & WINE 

 
June 2, 2024, Vancouver I co-hosted an event with IWC, where I delved into my passion for wine and horology alongside IWC Boutique Manger Hoki Lee. Hoki is a true renaissance man, effortlessly blending deep horological knowledge with a humility that’s rare in either circle.
 
The evening was all about perpetual calendars, we started by drawing parallels between the quartz crisis and the phylloxera epidemic in 19th century Europe then tasted wines that resonated these narratives.

Omega x Scotia Wealth Management x Everything Wine (Watches, Wine & Wealth)

 
July 6, 2023, Vancouver This exclusive event, a three-way collaboration between Scotia Wealth Management, Omega, and Everything Wine, celebrated the timeless connections between wine, watches, and wealth. The overarching theme was not about indulging in a sybaratic lifestyle or chasing status symbol but about the journey that led us to experience the world of wine, and fine timepieces.

From the outside, the evening may come across as a bit of an indulgence, but the focus was entirely about  the journey—the experiences, dedication, and craftsmanship that bring these treasures to life. We emphasized the deeper meaning behind these pursuits, focusing on how we invest, persevere, and grow to truly appreciate the artistry of fine wines, exceptional timepieces and the richness of life, culture and beyond.
