“Time is fair and impartial to everyone,” says Rocky Lau, who as general manager, oversees the entire business operations of Jaguar Land Rover in Hong Kong and Macau.
“No matter what your social status, age or gender, we all have 24 hours in a day, seven days in a week.”
The Rolex GMT-Master II is my absolute favourite watch
This year the car manufacturer launched the Jaguar E-Type Zero, with the “zero” standing for zero emissions.
The sports car, which first saw the light of day in 1961, has now been converted into a 0 to 62 miles per hour (100km/h)-in-5.5-seconds electric performer.
In keeping pace with all that is trending in the car industry, Lau says it is important to enjoy the work because it blends with his daily life.
“I will share exciting things about my work with my friends, such as new car models that are coming in,” Lau says.
“I also offer perspectives on things, from the point of view of my profession.”
Lau has a knack for introducing new models and limited editions befitting local market appetites, including the Discovery Sport, Jaguar E-PACE and Project 8.
