One July evening at the Mandarin Oriental...

A couple of vintage Ladymatic pieces on loan from a private collector

And the stars of the show that evening

Couldn't help wishing they made these with quartz movement as a more affordable alternative

A rebel among us

Crowded already

Can I have a look at that please?

Ahh... Sweet!

More vintage love

Stage performance...

I lost count of the cameras after a while.

Finally I decided I needed a better point to shoot from. And here are the results.

That looks like a nice job to have. How enviable...

Last to leave

Pinkish souvenirs

Turns out to be a pen and some candy

Altogether a good paced and eventful function. A balance of contents that easily kept WIS and other guests engaged throughout. Nice job once again, Omega.

Key Points from the Discussion

The modern Omega Ladymatic collection successfully remains true to the spirit of its vintage predecessors, offering a justified and stylish rebirth of the line.
Despite its technical accomplishments, including the Co-Axial escapement and silicon hairspring, the small movement size of the Ladymatic results in a date window positioned too close to the dial's center for some collectors' aesthetic preferences.
The Ladymatic is technically accomplished, featuring Omega's latest Co-Axial escapement technology with a silicon hairspring, making it a robust and precise timepiece.
Omega's lavish launch events, like the Ladymatic presentation, are noted for their high quality, encompassing watches, cuisine, models, and guest experience.

...Crawford visited Thailand many, many years ago. I especially like how they go to the trouble of affirming the vintage connection with the pieces on display and the presentations. The new Ladymatic is a vintage reborn alright. But at least this is being done in a most justified and stylish manner possible Ruckdee

. . . to provide this fascinating event coverage. The Ladymatic is not only gorgeous . . . . . . but also technically accomplished, with the latest iteration of Omega's co-axial escapement technology fitted with a silicon hairspring. The perfect watch for the next Bond girl ;-) . . .
