The OMEGA Holiday Soirée unfolded with effortless polish inside the OMEGA boutique at Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, where a Champagne reception set a celebratory tone for an evening defined by craftsmanship, conversation, and seasonal sparkle.

Guests were welcomed into an intimate setting filled with gleaming timepieces, each inviting a closer look and, naturally, a try-on moment or two. The atmosphere encouraged lingering, with stories exchanged as easily as opinions on favourite collections and personal style.


The evening flowed seamlessly under the guidance of Boutique Manager Calvin Pow and Hazem Sbayteh, Country Manager and Brand Manager for OMEGA at Swatch Group Canada, whose warm hosting reflected the brand’s refined yet approachable spirit. As the night progressed, the gathering made its way to Kringle’s, a festive hideaway tucked within the hotel’s lower lobby. There, custom cocktails, elegant canapés, twinkling lights, and cozy corners created a setting worthy of the season.

An unexpected highlight arrived in the form of David Reid, concierge extraordinaire, member of Les Clefs d’Or, and resident hotel historian, who captivated guests with stories that added depth, charm, and a sense of place to an already memorable evening.
