A dazzling by-invitation closing event AJTT X Zouk Party at Starhill Gallery supercharged with pulsating music from Asia’s superclub Zouk and the presence of over 400 of the city’s glitterati decked out in their finest party gear marked the finale of this year’s A Journey Through Time X.

“Tan Sri Dr. Francis Yeoh started this event nine years ago to accomplish two objectives – position Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur as the region’s shopping destinations for the finest in watches and jewellery; and celebrate the appreciation of horology and the art of jewellery for collectors and enthusiasts.” said Joseph Yeoh, Vice President, YTL Land & Development and YTL Hotels and Properties.

As the region’s longest running watch and jewellery lifestyle event, the ten-day showcase began in 2007 as the passion of YTL’s founding family to celebrate the artistry and craftsmanship inherent in the finest timepieces and jewellery from around the world.

Themed ‘Legacy and Icons,’ A Journey Through Time X was the tenth instalment of the annual event. As the only consecutively-held event of its kind in the region, 2016 marked a series of firsts for the event as it matured towards the next 10 years.
