Hublot dinner by The Hour Glass
Was lucky enough to secure an invite to the Hublot dinner organised by The Hour Glass. Special guest was Hublot CEO Jean Claude Biver, a most dynamic 50+ year-old man. Venue was at Zambuca Italian Restaurant at Pan Pacific Hotel.
The entire restaurant was booked for the event. It was surprisingly spacious, with two levels of seating. The huge Hublot logo is on the wall at the far end.
The tables were sprinkled with rose petals.
Main course was pan fried baby snapper loin served on a bed of soft polenta draped with lobster bisque and prawn topped with pea shoots. It's obvious from the photo that I have pushed the disgusting pea shoots aside. Bad news was I had NO idea what that layer of 'polenta' at the bottom is; it has the texture of mashed potato BUT it certainly didn't taste like it-- I didn't like the taste of 'polenta' :
Dessert luckily, was the ever-popular tiramisu. It was excellent, not over-drenched with alcohol:
Models posing with the latest Hublot watches. These angmoh models were frighteningly tall:
Hublot CEO Jean Claude Biver giving his speech, which we all enjoyed. The Europeans just seem to radiate so much passion, which is so rare in Singaporeans:
A pair of the latest Hublot watches-- the Hublot Big Bang. It's a watch with a fusion of rubber, ceramic, kevlar and stainless steel. The white one is a limited edition circulated from table to table for us to examine up-close while the black one is the regular version:
KC and me:

Watch afficionados, all of 'em:
Thanks to Hublot and The Hour Glass for a great time!
