Sort of Reporting live from Shanghai mainly by photos, hopefully, this can be re-organised to have more details and make it more coherent for readers at a later date
(Today is the first evening, but the physical watch is yet to be unveiled)
Well Since it is 3am in the morning after uploading all the photos here in Shanghai, I shall be brief and hopefully the event will be covered more by the photos than my descriptions..
(It is all happening here, the tallest hotel in the world)
Tonight kicks off the FIRST event of a 2 day Girard Perregaux Enzo Ferrari Tourbillon World Premier in Shanghai. Dr. Gino Macaluso explained that Shanghai is an intriguing and exciting world class city.
It is obvious that the guests had a great time with good food, free flowing drinks and a band performance from Canada(?)
(A small section of a large venue, plenty of food and drinks to go around)
Event is held at the most 'happening' place in Shanghai, the Pu-J at Grand Hyatt Shanghai, the tallest hotel in the World!
(Band performance to entertain, and entertain, they did!)
Retailers and Journalists around the world are invited to witness this important event ahead of SIHH 2004!

Since I am literally has been without MUCH sleep since Saturday, i shall let the photos do the talking
(Nash gave a warm welcome speech and an introduction to Dr. Gino macaluso)
(Dr. Gino Macaluso, giving his speech pepperred with some Chinese. Describing humbly that he is speaking Chinese as bad as Italian spoken by Schuemaker, he was actually quite good and the crowd applauded wildly)
(One of the singers, entertained the guests)
(F.J. Benjamin founder Frank Benjamin and Cheryl Wee from BMI)
(She could sing! and that's entertainment!)
Come tomorrow (10/3/2004), the actual watch will be unveiled!
Watch this space and hopefully, I still have the energy to report here
