Who: Tan Min-Li, one of the region’s top corporate lawyers in the areas of capital markets and mergers and acquisitions. Off duty, Tan is a high society fixture and collaborated with local accessories label Mad About Hue last year for a capsule wardrobe of party-ready pieces including bodysuits, mullet skirts and headbands retailing on www.gnossem.com.
More recently, the Xeitgeist Entertainment Group, which Tan is a partner of, was behind the Dev Patel and Jeremy Irons film, The Man Who Knew Infinity. In the works right now: Damascus Cover and Shambhala, both starring Irish heartthrob Jonathan Rhys Meyers.
What: “I’m wearing Swiss brand FP Journe’s Tourbillon Souverain watch. It comes with the original remontoire feature (a secondary power source in high-end mechanical watches that increases accuracy) which has been discontinued.”
Why: “I have a great love for mechanical movements and complications which are usually only found in men’s watches. This beautiful tourbillon movement is a good example of that: its unique remontoire constant force escapement regulates power ensuring greater accuracy for the watch. Then there’s the unique design of this watchm which has a blend of that Art Deco, Jules Verne styling on a very modern watch face. I also love that its large size complements its elegant look. It’s perfect with anything, from a feminine cocktail dress to skinny jeans. I always think about how a timepiece will fit into my wardrobe and my lifestyle.”
