A perfect night for gemstones YTL E-Solutions, 11 December 2012 It was a glamorous affair at the opening of Gubelin’s first jewellery boutique outside of Switzerland, in conjunction with A Journey Through Time VI at Starhill Gallery. A rich collection of signature jewellery designs, together with the unique beauty of their gemstones were displayed to the delight of several distinguished guests. Celebration of time Kuala Lumpur, 8 December 2012 "Ever since 1999, when the Malaysian government with strong YTL encouragement, waived the duty on luxury watches, we felt the need to put a continuous effort in promoting Malaysia's duty-free status on an international level while placing the country prominently in the world map for its horology highlights," says Joseph Yeoh, YTL Land & Development and YTL Hotels Vice-President. This showcase is where true masterpieces are discovered and Yeoh hopes that one day AJTT will achieve the stature of Baselworld Fair of Asia because he believes their intentions have been received positively by professionals in the watch industry. "The showcase offers watchmakers the opportunity to exhibit their latest creations six months earlier than they could at the Baselworld Fair. This would allow retailers to have the latest watches in store and ready to sell for the spring/summer season, creating an additional sale period which would help grow the watch industry." "Due to Malaysia being in such close proximity to China and other Asia Pacific countries as well as possessing the largest dedicated retail space for luxurious watch outlets in the world in Starhill Gallery where all the watches and jewellery are set at cheaper prices due to our duty-free policy, AJTT has the potential to turn Malaysia into a mini Basel," adds Yeoh. A Fitting Finale to a Marvellous Journey YTL Community, 1 December 2012 After ten days of celebration the curtain came down on A Journey Through Time VI, Asia’s grandest luxury watch and jewellery fair. Endorsed by Tourism Malaysia, the finale was celebrated in style and vigour, and was graced by Yang Di-Pertua Negeri Sabah, Tun Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Juhar Haji Mahiruddin, Secretary General of the Ministry of Tourism, Dato’ Ong Hong Peng and YTL Corporation Managing Director, Tan Sri (Dr.) Francis Yeoh.
