Mr. Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot, said, \u201cMastering the \u2018Art of Fusion\u2019, Hublot symbolizes the merging of tradition and future.

License to Thrill, Dress to Kill
The World Is Not Enough as DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER promises to pull out all the stops to indulge your senses. Gastronomes will be treated to a menu helmed by Justin Quek, one of Asia\u2019s most celebrated chefs and the man who singlehandedly put Singapore on the global gastronomic map, in collaboration with the chefs of the Shangri-La Hotel. For those who live wild, and a little dangerously, our bartenders will be mixing up Bond\u2019s favourite drinks. But be warned when we say \u2018They\u2019re rather stiff!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ivan Heng and Glen Goei, our creative maestros, direct the evening\u2019s proceedings For Your Eyes Only. Dine to the fine sounds of the Thomson Swing Band. Gaze upon Frederick Lee\u2019s sartorial artistry in a special haute couture collection inspired by Hublot\u2019s timepieces. Let your fantasies comes alive with our Bond girls\u2019 burlesque routines. Be dazzled by an all-star concert featuring top theatre and entertainment talents including Hossan Leong, Rani Singam and Tony Eusoff. And finally, dance like Tomorrow Never Dies as DJ Colaco spins your favourite tunes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The dress code for the night is \u2018License to Thrill, Dress to Kill\u2019 and the mission, should guests choose to accept, is to have a good time! With W!LD RICE\u2019s promise of a lavish affair, even Dr No says Yes! And it\u2019s all for a good cause!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
