Experience the grand unveiling of the world's first De Bethune Lounge and the prestigious 1916 Company Watch Collectors Salon at the heart of Hong Kong. Upon entering the lift lobby, prepare to be transported on an enchanting journey, immersed in a modern and mystical deco design that sets the stage for an unforgettable experience within these exquisite spaces.

The showroom features a striking stone bar as its centerpiece, adorned with elegant gold details, elevating the guest's experience to new heights of sophistication and style. A bespoke antique mirror serves as the backdrop for the meticulously curated wine collection, creating a visually captivating impact within the showroom.

The lounge area is furnished with designer loungers and coffee tables, thoughtfully arranged into different groupings to accommodate various gatherings and events. Complementing the designer seating are two custom-designed desks, strategically placed with a captivating center display, showcasing the finest watch selections from the collection.

The open ceiling, adorned with captivating round feature lights, creates a sublime ambiance that seamlessly brings together the designer furniture. Meticulously chosen general spotlights with a high color rendering index (CRI) ensure the watches' true colors are accurately displayed, vital for a watch trading showroom.
Adding to the allure of the space, a striking feature cabinet at the center of the Salon seating area highlights meticulously curated watch pieces that embody the unparalleled craftsmanship and artistry of De Bethune.

Behind pairs of elegant black mullioned sliding doors lie two exclusive De Bethune rooms. Echoing the exquisite design of the De Bethune DB25 watch, the walls are adorned with captivating wallpaper depicting a starry sky, creating a celestial beauty that resonates with the product. Hand-added showers of stars guarantee the unique character of this panoramic display, reminiscent of the watch's handmade craftsmanship.

Complemented by a posh black carpet floor, midnight dark blue draperies, and stage-like spot lighting, a mysterious atmosphere envelops the space, providing the perfect environment for watch specialists to offer personalized service to their discerning clientele.

Seamlessly integrated into the design is a dynamic watch trading room, cleverly concealed behind a sliding partition. This ensures functionality harmoniously coexists with aesthetics in the overall layout of the 1916 Salon.

Together, the De Bethune lounge and the 1916 Salon create an enchanting environment where patrons can indulge in a truly unique and stylish salon shopping experience. Clients can comfortably peruse, deliberate, and enjoy the meticulously curated watch collections while engaging in intimate and educational discussions with the watch specialists.
