Gentlemen’s Bow Tie Virtual Walk Kick Off

In order to promote the gentleman’s culture and uphold the tradition of the annual Gentlemen’s Bow Tie Walk, the organizers of the 2021 Oriental Watch 60th Anniversary Sha Tin Trophy Gentlemen’s Bow Tie Raceday launch an avant-garde Gentlemen’s Bow Tie Virtual Walk and invite the public to experience the spirit of “There is a Gentleman in Every Man” from 25th September to 3rd October at Hysan Place, Causeway Bay.

 

Mr. Terrance Lau, Ambassador of the 2021 Oriental Watch 60th Anniversary Sha Tin Trophy Gentlemen’s Bow Tie Raceday, Mr. Dennis Yeung, Managing Director of Oriental Watch Company, and Mr. William Nader, Director of Racing Product, Marketing and Sponsorship of Hong Kong Jockey Club were invited to officiate at the kick-off ceremony.

The ceremony took place at Hysan Place, where a fashionable game and exhibition booth featuring gentleman’s fashion, horseracing, time and iconic Hong Kong characteristics was set up. To commence the event, Mr. Terrance Lau shared his experience in putting together the eye-opening Gentlemen’s Bow Tie Virtual Walk – strolling around Hong Kong in gentleman’s attire and a bow tie, he handpicked his favourite spots for the production team to create the AR game. In order to thank Terrance for his contribution, Mr. Dennis Yeung, Managing Director of Oriental Watch Company, presented to him a special bow tie as gift.

After a photo of Mr. Terrance Lau, Mr. Dennis Yeung and Mr. William Nader, Director of Racing Product, Marketing and Sponsorship of Hong Kong Jockey Club, the Gentlemen’s Bow Tie Virtual Walk made its debut with Terrance’s demonstration. For those who would like to enjoy the Gentlemen’s Bow Tie Virtual Walk at home, an Instagram filter is also available for free downloads.

Mr. Terrance Lau remarks, “I would like to thank Oriental Watch for giving me the chance to participate in this unique and creative project. I took a stroll all over Hong Kong in gentleman’s attire and a bow tie in which the production team recorded the spots that I found most meaningful, memorable and special, and created the Gentlemen’s Bow Tie Virtual Walk AR game. Hong Kong, the city where I was born and raised, is always dear to my heart. I have always felt and cherished the special connection to every stone, every tree, every building, every soul… of this city, and I would like to take this opportunity to invite all of you to take part in the game to experience and enjoy the connection too.”

Mr. Dennis Yeung remarks, “Commemorating the diamond jubilee of Oriental Watch Company, we take pleasure in joining hands with the Hong Kong Jockey Club again to present the 2021 Oriental Watch 60th Anniversary Sha Tin Trophy Gentlemen’s Bow Tie Raceday, and we are most honoured to have talented actor and fine gentleman Mr. Terrance Lau celebrating this special moment with us. Gentlemen’s Bow Tie Walk has been a well-celebrated tradition and we are delighted to be able to present it in a never-before-seen way this year, welcoming the public to experience and enjoy the spirit of “There is a Gentleman in Every Man’.”
