Friday Finale
On a sultry Friday evening, guests of the Peak’s CEO Dinner Series turned up at the beautiful home of Datuk May Phng, nestled deep in serene Damansara Heights.
This year’s stunning issue of IWC’s Portofino pieces is inspired by that dolce vita of the 1950s and 60s, when Hollywood movie stars would escape to the tranquillity of this simple yet charming seaside town.
Among them were Ingrid Bergman, Clark Gable, Liz Taylor, Richard Burton and even operatic goddess Maria Callas. In 2011, this beautiful landscape from the Ligurian coast and its idyllic lifestyle takes on a different life as a timepiece aesthetic.
The Portofino Chronograph this year is a finely balanced 42mm construction with slim push-buttons and low-key counters, powered by the 79320 calibre, tried-and-tested with 44-hours of power reserve, automatic winding and impeccably crafted Milanese mesh bracelet or alligator straps.
