EVENT Wellendorff 120th Anniversary Celebration Gala Dinner
WHERE Peak Suite, Four Seasons Hotel
HAPPENINGS: To celebrate its 120th anniversary, the famous German jeweller flew in Hanspeter Wellendorff and Eva Wellendorff - third-generation members of the founding family - to share the joy with Hong Kong fans. An exclusive exhibition was held, featuring some unique pieces from Wellendorff's archive on display in Asia for the first time. Highlights included the brand's first spinning enamel rings, its longest goldwork rope, and a complete set of annual rings manufactured every year since 1997.
The VIP dinner was attended by Chinese supermodel-turned-actor Hu Bing and a bevy of the city's well-heeled socialites and jewellery connoisseurs. To bring the essence of German culture and history to Hong Kong, the brand served traditional German wine and cuisine. Famous German vocalist Jay Alexander was also booked to woo guests at the special occasion.

Quick: Hu Bing, or a Wellendorff ring – which would you rather bring home with you tonight?
