CHARITY WATCH

Supporters of the Make A Wish Foundation gathered for a special event in Miami, co-hosted by Swiss watch brand Graham, Shareef Malnik of the Forge Restaurant and Bar, British actress Gabrielle Anwar and Levinson Jewelers. Graham watches were on display throughout the evening, and the brand donated two unique timepieces created especially for the evening’s charity auction. The two watches, based on the brand’s iconic Chronofighter 1695 model, featured the logo of the Make A Wish Foundation on their dials. Graham founder Eric Loth says, “We are delighted to support such a wonderful cause. Taking a classically elegant Graham timepiece and transforming into a good deed is truly heartwarming.” Following the event, Graham made an additional 25 special edition Make A Wish watches available exclusively through Levinson Jewelers. 213.622.1716, graham1695.com

Buben & Zörweg’s InShop Boutique opening in Beijing

BEACH BANG

Hublot partnered with Ferrari as part of an exciting 90-mile car rally that paraded 30 new and vintage Ferraris across Palm Beach, Florida, in March. As the official timekeeper of the Ferrari Challenge and a partner with Scuderia Ferrari since 2011, it was natural for the Swiss watch brand to act as this event’s official chronographer, keeping time at each checkpoint. Following the rally, Hublot hosted a lunch at the Mar-a-Lago mansion and displayed the newest Big Bang Ferrari timepieces—including the Big Bang Ferrari Red Magic Carbon ($32,100)—for the first time in the US. 800.536.0636, hublot.ch
