OMEGA De Ville Hour Vision Launch
~ 159 YEARS IN THE MAKING ~

The evening began on a high note with elitists gathering in anticipation at the OMEGA Boutique to preview the revolutionary De Ville Hour Vision watch that houses OMEGA’s in-house manufactured calibres 8500/8501. Hour Vision completes the co-axial revolution, paving the way for a new era of accuracy, longevity and aesthetic in watchmaking.

To mark the launch of Hour Vision, randomly selected guests were invited to ‘piece’ together the De Ville Hour Vision watch. Upon completion, Mr. David Ponzo, OMEGA Vice-President South-East Asia swiveled calibres 8500/8501 to view, unveiling the calibres to the public for the first time in Malaysia. Witnessing the launch of Hour Vision are loyal Omega customers as well as distinguished members of society and professionals from the Porsche Club and BMW Club.

“The Hour Vision movement propels OMEGA to a different level in watchmaking. The brand has always held steadfast to its innovative heritage and consistently pushes itself to be at the forefront of the industry. Calibres 8500/8501 are fully manufactured in-house and features 202 new components. Hour Vision ensures that OMEGA remains as the vanguard in the horology arena,” Mr. David Ponzo commented.

He added, “The De Ville Hour Vision collection has received much praises from many respected horologists during its world preview at the BaselWorld 2007 watch fair and has become the talk of many watch enthusiasts around the world. In fact, we have had enquiries about the watch even before it hit Malaysian shores and this scenario can be seen repeated in other countries around the region too. The De Ville Hour Vision is definitely the must have watch this year,” said Mr. Ponzo further.
