Longines Master Collection Retrograde, the official watch of CATS (The Esplanade Theatre, 新加坡)
This day marks the opening performance of the longawaited musical, CATS. It is the second time that CATS is purring in town with the familiar melancholic tune of "Memory". The repeat trip witnesses another remarkable sell-out of 45,000 tickets, thus far. Longines takes pride in being the official sponsor of this brilliant musical.
Over a hundred privileged guests, including Longines corporate partners and media friends, were treated to a private cocktail to celebrate the launch of Longines Master Collection Retrograde, the official watch of CATS.
The robustness of the musical is a perfect match to the Retrograde collection, which delivers a horological marvel - four complicated retrograde functions displayed in a sleek manner on the dial. The retrograde hands dance back to the starting position upon reaching the end of each cycle, tracing out a beautiful ballet in silence. Reminiscent to characters in a musical, each retrograde hand possesses an essential role on its own. Yet, this individual act synchronises with implicit synergy to the rest of the assembly when presented as a whole.
After examining the complexities of the retrograde movements, guests were pampered with a treat to the performance, CATS. With top-priced ticket seats, they were able to feast their eyes on the dynamic expressions of the characters in close proximity. The night concluded with captivating tunes lingering in the air by the much applauded masterpiece.
