It's high time

Swiss watch master Franck Muller celebrated the re-opening of his expanded and renovated store in the St George Building in Central earlier this month.

The watchmaker flew in from Geneva to welcome guests at a cocktail party enlivened by musicians playing jazz on a variety of Chinese and western instruments.

The spacious yet cosy 2,500sqft store attracted a crowd of admirers of luxury timepieces, who previewed the collections while enjoying caviar canapes.

Guests included Flora Cheong-Leen, designer Steve Leung, David Tang Wing-cheung, Pansy Ho Chiu-king, Brandon Chau Kwok-fung, William Ma Ching-wai and Nissim Tse Lap-san.
