It's been a while since I last step foot into a club, any clubs for that matter, but there I was in the prestigious Providence KL to catch the rather grand launch of BOMBERG Malaysia's BOLT-68 watch. After all, I'm a watch freak. "It’s audacious, it’s provocative, it’s unconventional, and it’s the new MUST HAVE accessories!" With a tagline that screams boldness, if you’re looking for an outstanding timepiece with daring details to fit your lifestyle, a BOMBERG watch is what you need.

| Bomberg Malaysia Watch BOLT-68 Launch @ Providence KL |
Arriving at the exclusive media preview held at Providence KL, BOMBERG celebrated its launch in Malaysia by unveiling their BOLT-68 collection. I was pretty attracted to the very sexy and bold banners and models representing what BOMBERG's watches are all about.

According to BOMBERG CEO Giancarlo Mantuano that while BOMBERG was only launched in 2012 it has successfully cultivated a loyal fan base that enjoys the nonconformist nature of the brand. The brand itself isn't new, but only now has it come to Malaysia, brought in by Watatime. A watch that can be detached and double up as a pendant to be worn around the neck, or as a pocket watch, the idea is really unique.

“We made the exciting decision to expand to Malaysia as we are aware that watch lovers here are trendsetters, who appreciate the details that makes a great timepiece. We have decided to launch BOMBERG with its BOLT-68 collection, because we feel it represents the essence of our brand – reinterpreting the traditional wrist watch,” BOMBERG CEO, Giancarlo Mantuano adds.

The models that paraded the Bolt-68 collection came down the runway looking really hot and sexy. For a moment there, I'm uncertain it was a watch launch event or a lingerie fashion show. Anyway do check out some of the photos I've taken of the models parading the watch, be it on their neck, wrist, or holding it in their hands.

The BOLT-68 collection was launched in 2014, and was aptly named to represent the brand’s entire DNA. The number 68 references one of the most significant years of the 20th Century ushering in new social parameters and changes. BOLT-68 highlights the strong and functional strength of the watch design. The paradox of this collection is that it’s stylish and bold, twisted and relevant, rebellious yet totally uncompliant with Swiss watch standards.

The BOLT-68 collection consists of 18 statement pieces imposing its own rules on the traditional world of watch-making. With each stainless steel casing it features a technical novelty where the buttons and the crown are placed at 12 o’clock. The timepieces are dual functional with a bayonet system that separate the case to the strap, to be attached to robust medallions and oversized links in order to become a trendy pocket watch. With its immaculate and flawless visual presentation, this timepiece reaches new levels of chic avant-garde for rebellious go-getter.

BOMBERG Chairman Rick De La Croix had a vision to create and establish a longstanding watch brand with international exposure, creating a new and uncontested market space rather than competing in an existing one. He conceptualised a brand that sees beyond focusing on competitors, but rather concentrates on the needs and desires of its target community.

At the media preview, many local celebrities and fashionistas including Peter Davis, Joe Flizzow, Roen Nagapan, Carey Ng and Sarah Lian were spotted wearing these statement timepieces from the BOLT-68 collection. The well-designed standout watches made their outfits on point.
