What happens when TAG Heuer, Female and bi-annual luxury women’s watch title 24:7 throw a ladies night out? It involves a live art demonstration from one Female Collective member, an intimate session on how its macho and edgy timepieces are a perfect addition for the modern women and a preview of the brand’s best-selling Connected watch at the Ion Orchard boutique last Thursday. Imran Jalal shares the reasons that made it a great outing.
This Female Collective member not only deejays, she’s also a talented artist known in the art circle as An Everyday Muse for her illustrations. Ang showed off her chops with an on-the-spot painting of TAG Heuer poster girl Cara Delevingne which she completed in two hours.

Like how the watch screen never goes idle and blank but shows off the Carrera dial all the e even in rest mode. Our favourite feature: You can trade in the timepiece after two years and buy a mechanical watch in its place.
