Wow wynonie,
Sounds like a nice gig to attend. Thanks for the write up.
Was there any 'mingle time' with Lewis or other TH representatives?

Cheers
Stewart

: Here's a pic of Lewis Hamilton in Dubai to launch the Calibre 1887
: line at the Tag Heuer Boutique in Dubai Mall from earlier this
: evening. (He's in the UAE for the Abu Dhabi GP at the weekend)
: He did a q&a, handed out some prizes and was given a shiny new
: rose gold Grand Carrera, which he seemed genuinely pleased with.
: The question's in the q&a were all the usual PR stuff you'd
: expect, 'you like mastering speed and Tag Heuer has been
: mastering speed for 150 years, is this why you became a brand
: ambassador?', to which he answered, 'er, yes - speed.'

: In answer to the question, 'and what, Lewis, is your favourite
: watch in the Tag Heuer range?' he responded excitedly, 'this
: one, its a er Carrera er 18 something something.' The smooth
: Swiss marketing exec jumped in and confirmed its the new 1887
: in-house Calibre much to the relief of Mr Hamilton.

: Still, a pretty good show and the Tag Heuer boutique in Dubai Mall
: is terrific - the staff are knowledgeable and fun and drool over
: my vintage watches when i've dropped them off for servicing - I
: hope they sold a ton of watches tonight and I was thrilled to
: have been asked along tonight.

: I've an 1887 and do genuinely love it - I hope other vintage Heuer
: fans also give it a try if they havent seen one yet.
