Swatch Blum Auction dinner and gala

Another busy day as usual. After work, Melissa my co worker and I had to attend several events with our boss Barney Cheng. Getting to dress in Barney Cheng Couture is always the best part! I was dying when I couldn't find the right size of heels to match with my originally desired outfit!

So first we went the the private preview of Christie's for Elizabeth Taylor jewelry exhibition at Hong Kong convention center, those diamonds totally blinded my eyes. Twenty carats in one finger seemed unreal!

Then we hit intercontinental wan chai to see the Sotheby's jewelry show, it was honestly just ok. The style and the cut of diamonds certainly wasn't as interesting as the Elizabeth Taylor show.

Last but not least, we have arrived at the IFC Four Season for the Philips de Pury and Company event- the Swatch Blum auction dinner and gala. I am telling you, it was intense! Someone spend 45 million USD on a collection of Swatches ( named the Swatch Album). I think if I had 45 millions, I would probably buy properties, coutures, shoes and bags instead of swatches.... But again that's just me. I still remember my mother has the limited version of Kama Sutra Swatch with the Indian sultan having sex with his wife on the cover! Haha!

It was a great night, now I am heading now and preparing for another early morning for work 
