Excitement crackled as guests, each a titan in their own right, arrived at the newly opened Bell & Ross boutique.

Every corner of this boutique, from the carefully chosen materials to the layout and display units, is thoughtfully designed to echo the brand's commitment to precision, style, and durability. The result is an immersive environment that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Bell & Ross, where visitors can explore the brand's horological world while experiencing the same unwavering design language that defines the brand.

With a flourish, the veil was lifted on the star of the evening: the BR 03 CYBER CERAMIC. Inspired by the sleek forms of stealth aircraft, its black ceramic case glistened with an almost otherworldly sheen, its sharp edges catching the light like whispered secrets. This was more than just a watch; it was a statement piece, a symbol of audacious design and cutting-edge technology, perfectly reflecting the air of exclusivity that permeated the evening.

At the helm of this culinary odyssey stood none other than Chef Raymond Tham, the visionary behind the Michelin-starred BETA KL. Drawing inspiration from French and Chinese gastronomy, he curated a three-course masterpiece that mirrored the evening's enigmatic allure. Think: delicate duck prosciutto infused with fig and purple sweet potato, followed by cod fish bathed in a braised white radish and fish consomme soup, given a thrilling twist. Each bite was a revelation, a testament to Chef Tham's ability to marry tradition with innovation, mirroring the very essence of Bell & Ross' ethos.
