In a series of events in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, the inaugural Vietnam-exclusive timepiece Petite Heure Minute Ha Long Bay made its debut to media and watch lovers alike. Jaquet Droz’s VP Sales, Marc Aellen, together with the owners from THG S&S, hosted several sessions over a two-day period from 29th to 30th October 2019.
Guests were especially delighted at the rare opportunity to try their hands on the delicate art of dial-painting. Under the expert guidance of Jaquet Droz’s artist, guests took home not only their individual works of art, but also fond memories of discovering the art of astonishment, and the stories behind each Jaquet Droz timepiece.
