Launch of the IWC Portuguese Yacht Club in Singapore - Part 2 of 2 (Night)

Guests arriving for the evening launch of Portuguese Yacht Club. 



Typical view of the Marina just after sunset. 




Reception in front of restaurant Prive.  Staff of IWC greeted the guest.  And this gentleman and lady were on the yacht, from sailing attire to smart casual in less than twenty minutes.  They were fast!


Having pictures taken  ...


Two bar counters were set up to ensure fast continuous flow of drinks.  Above was the second bar counter.


The outside of the event venue ...


Dinner almost ready, and most of the guests had arrived ...





Guests had a choice of either air-conditioned indoor or the sea-breeze outdoor. 

A look at the arrangement indoor, decorated as if inside the cabin of a ship with three showcases of watches ...

Theme consistent with IWC colour theme - black and white with warm wood trimming ...










The watches displayed  - the Portuguese Family ....



















Back to outside, the main bar ...


The venue  was packed!





My sail-mates ...


The 'Captain' and his wife.  Still without his beer


At about 7:55pm, the emcee greeted guests and called upon Goris Verburg, General Manager of IWC South East Asia to say a few words ...


Goris Verburg, General Manager of IWC South East Asia greeted the guests and gave a brief introduction of the Portuguese family.

After which the  IWC's new film about the history of navigation with Jean Reno - "The Spirit of Navigation" was shown.

An interesting and well-make film.

After the film, dinner was ready to serve ...





Guests helping themselves to the wide variety of dishes ...





Next up, a performance of dance to illustrate the two of the elements that made up navigation - Precision and Trust  featured in the film by Jean Reno.

The first play, balancing the balls to demonstrate "Precision,  as the act required acute precision so the ball would not roll off the body of the performer.


Next, two dancers to exhibit Trust.  The dancers tossed each other around in various positions, and to perform it so smoothly with grace, the trust between them must be very strong.

Thanking the performers, the emcee once again called Goris to the stage ...


Goris announced the launch of the Portuguese Yacht Club ....


And the contraption hidden inside the IWC stand (in front of the stage) raised ....

Guests moved in to have closer look ...





The instructors were pondering too ...




The evening continued with more drinks and food, more watch conversations among the guests ...



A picture of the some members of the IWC Team.  Well done!!


Thanks IWC for the wonderful full-day!!!
