Hublot also hosted a private dinner for its select VIP guests

After two years, Hublot's CEO Ricardo Guadalupe made a return to Malaysia to celebrate the official opening of Hublot's boutique in Pavilion KL. He also took the opportunity to reconnect with Hublot's loyal fans here with a private dinner at St. Regis Kuala Lumpur that was followed by a party named after its watchmaking motto, the Art of Fusion.

Guests then adjourned to the Grand Ballroom for the after-party that was also attended by 500 guests. In the middle of the ballroom is a magnificent carousel—an instant Instagram hit—that highlighted Hublot's prowess as a watchmaker with a display of some of its finest timepieces including the Big Bang Integrated Sky Blue and Beige Ceramic, the Spirit of Big Bang Rainbow, and the highly complicated MP-11 Power Reserve 14 Days 3D Carbon Rainbow. 

The evening's entertainment was ably provided by Joe Flizzow and singer-songwriter SonaOne, before they hand the stage over to DJ Bate.
