WHEN I got an invitation to the Baume and Mercier launch, I knew that I had to go. I was curious with what the prestigious watch brand has in store for. After all, the brand’s signature classic designs have always thrilled me.

In the launch held at the Fashion Walk in Greenbelt 5 Makati, I was delighted to have met Christian Bartosch, managing director of North East Asia for Baume & Mercier who flew to Manila from Hong Kong for the event. He says, “Our collection embodies seaside living to anchor the state of mind that life is about moments. And the Philippines is the perfect venue to showcase our products because Filipinos match our brand’s image and lifestyle.”

Mr. Bartosch showed me the new reinterpretations to their best selling watch models like the Linea line for the ladies, and the Classima and Capeland for the men. I told him i like what he was wearing and he pointed out a beautiful Capeland watch in rose gold. All that came to my mind was a hope that someday I can get my dad that beautiful watch.

Trade marketing executive Angel Chan, regional marketing and communications manager Jennifer Lam and public relations and advertising manager Nikki Lee also flew to Manila to attend the launching and Lucerne, exclusive distributor for the watches, pulled out a show stopping launch by getting first class host David Celdran and even presenting ageless Gretchen Barretto, a woman known for her beauty and witty remarks, a Linea watch to symbolize the brand’s commitment to establishing a more solid Filipino following.

When I look at Gretchen Barretto, I cannot help but always remember Dr. Aivee Teo since I always see Gretchen in her clinic. I am sure that the gorgeous Doc Aivee is one of the reasons that Gretchen has kept her youthful looks and flawless porcelain skin. But then, that calls for another article altogether.

The beautiful watches of Baume & Mercier are available at Adora in Greenbelt 5.
