FULL REPORT: Exclusive Panerai Dive Into Time VIP Event

Brian H. July 28, 2016

Earlier this month I had the honor to attend the very exclusive Officine Panerai Dive Into Time VIP event in Beverly Hills. I had the pleasure to talk and dine with Giovanni Carestia (President of Panerai North America), Alessandro Ficarelli (Product Development Director), and several others from the Panerai team. And as if that was not awesome enough, we also had the chance to view and play with some newly released Panerai models. Needless to say, it was one heck of a night and one worth sharing with the rest of the watch community.

Last November, Linde Werdelin and Jewells at Galpin hosted an exclusive event for #LAWatchGang at the Galpin Aston Martin dealership in Van Nuys. Many Linde Werdelin models were on display and attendees were able to get a close look at them without the pressure of a salesperson. Overall, an amazing night full of fantastic watches, beautiful cars, and great company.

Brian H. September 13, 2015

This was my first time attending a Morning Octane event and I must say that this has to be one of the best free car events in Southern California. This event is truly for all types of car lovers. What makes this event so much fun is that it is not limited to expensive exotic cars... there are plenty of modified imports, modified domestics, motorcycles, and much more.

FULL REPORT: Oak & Oscar Visits LA

Brian H. August 7, 2015

Chase, founder of Oak & Oscar, was in town on July 26 and invited the #LAWatchGang to check out his very first model, the Burnham. For those unfamiliar with the brand, Oak & Oscar is a relatively new American brand (Chicago based) that in a very short time has made a big impression in the watch community with the Burnham model… and rightfully so. The watch is unique and attractive.

Brian H. July 24, 2015

This past Saturday I attended the RPM Exotic Car Gathering at the Hing Wa Lee Plaza in Walnut for the third time... easily the best one I have attended so far (sans a Bugatti)! The parking lot was completely packed! So packed that they actually had to turn away several Ferraris and Lambos since there was no more space. As always, there was complimentary Dim Sum breakfast and plenty of watches to enjoy inside the Hing Wa Lee watch store.

FULL REPORT: Breitling 2015 New Product Line-Up at Feldmar

Brian H. June 28, 2015

On June 18, Feldmar Watch Company and Breitling hosted an exclusive event to unveil some of their new 2015 models. Honestly, I am not a big fan of Breitling... but not because I do not think that they are a reputable watch manufacturer, I simply have not connected with any of their models at that level. There are a few collections that I find attractive, like the SuperOcean and Navitimer, but I seem to always end up looking elsewhere...

Brian H. June 22, 2015

This past Friday a few members of the #LAWatchGang and I had the pleasure to meet Jessica Casser from Breva Genevè (also on Instagram) and we all got to play with a few of their timepieces. Prior to meeting Jessica, I had seen several photos online about the various Breva Genevè models and their unique features... needless to say, I was very excited to see these in person!

FULL REPORT: 8th Annual Concorso Ferrari 2015 in Pasadena

Brian H. May 17, 2015

On April 26, Ferrari Club of America held their annual Concorso Ferrari event in Pasadena. This year marked their 8th year. With approximately 140 Ferraris (and a few other exotics) at the event, three blocks of busy Colorado Boulevard were closed for this admission free event. I have never seen this many Ferraris together, from vintage to modern models. It was a true spectacle!

This past Saturday I attended the RPM Exotic Car Gathering at the Hing Wa Lee Plaza for the second time. Like last time, there was complimentary Dim Sum for breakfast, sick cars, and beautiful timepieces.
