The historic Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall was transformed into a living, breathing tribute space to the IWC Portugieser, for the new collection’s regional launch in April that also marked the line’s 75th anniversary. More than 280 of its collectors and VIPs were treated to a mentalism performance and presentation of the collection, which included two new anniversary models.  

Harry Winston too had good reason to celebrate - where the fine jeweller debuted its Hope Collection at an intimate cocktail held at its Ion Orchard boutique in April. The event marked its philanthropic partnership with Equal Singapore, an equine-assisted learning programme by the Equestrian Federation of Singapore for at-risk children. The collection, comprising a bracelet and a charm, is Harry Winston’s first charitable collection, and it will donate 20 per cent of the retail sales price to Equal Singapore.
