Romain Jerome Watch Launch.

A couple of weeks ago, customers of The Hour Glass were given an exclusive look at timepieces by Romain Jerome. To add to the excitement of the event, gaming machines from by-gone era were rented specially for guests to pit their skills against each other. It was an evening of fun and games where the winner with the highest score had the privilege of walking away with a Moon Fighter pen valued at S$3500. Let these following pics showcase the highlights of the evening....
