In the heart of Sydney, I recently attended a daytime ladies luncheon event hosted by Watches of Switzerland and Breitling. The occasion marked the launch of the new ladies' watch collection, the Navitimer 32, a collection fronted by the iconic Charlize Theron. The event was attended by approximately 50 esteemed guests, leaving a lasting impression on all who joined.

The event took place in a picturesque setting, featuring high ceilings and elegant long tables that provided the ideal backdrop for an afternoon that seamlessly merged luxury timepieces with artistic expression.
A Glimpse into History: Breitling and Watches of Switzerland
Before we delve into the details of our event, let's take a moment to explore the remarkable histories of Breitling and Watches of Switzerland.

Over the years, the brand has become synonymous with quality, craftsmanship, and an unwavering commitment to offering a curated collection of timepieces that exemplify both tradition and innovation.
The Iconic Capella Hotel Sydney
Our event unfolded at the illustrious Capella Hotel in Sydney, a place where elegance meets artistry. The Capella, part of the prestigious Capella Hotel Group, is renowned for its dedication to creating a sanctuary of luxury and timeless beauty. Nestled in the heart of the city, it boasts a spectacular location with panoramic views of Sydney Harbour and the iconic Opera House.
With a commitment to preserving heritage, the Capella Hotel Sydney seamlessly blends old-world charm with contemporary sophistication. The hotel's high ceilings, grand spaces, and a meticulous eye for detail make it an ideal setting for events that celebrate the finer things in life.
Digital Illustration: A Personal Touch
What made this event truly special was the use of digital illustration to capture the essence of our distinguished guests. As an artist, I created personalised digital illustrations in real-time, transforming the moments of the afternoon into artistic mementos that would forever encapsulate the ambiance.
Custom Borders: The Unseen Beauty of Capella
The highlight of the event was our unique custom border detailing. Each digital illustration was thoughtfully framed within a border adorned with scenes from the exquisite interiors of the Capella Hotel. This added touch not only preserved the memories of the event but also captured the essence of the venue, creating a keepsake that is a work of art in itself.
A Journey through Art and Atmosphere
By integrating the beauty of Capella's interiors into our illustrations, we were able to transcend traditional art boundaries. The ambiance of the hotel became an integral part of the artwork, ensuring that every piece was not just a reflection of the guests but also a window into the event's unique atmosphere.
Guest Participation: A Personal Connection
Our guests were not just observers; they were integral to the creative process. Throughout the afternoon, I had the privilege of illustrating the guests themselves. This personalised approach made each digital illustration a cherished piece of art, capturing the beauty and individuality of the attendees.
A Creative Legacy: Artful Mementos
The event left behind a creative legacy in the form of these personalised art pieces. Each guest departed with a digital illustration that encapsulated their unique presence at the Capella Hotel, surrounded by the interiors that had set the backdrop for our artistic journey.
