Swiss luxury watchmaker Audemars Piguet celebrated 150 years at West Kowloon, Hong Kong - hosted by Harper's Bazaar. A star-studded evening of local and international fashion names, in one of Asia's most striking cultural venues. The audio had to match the occasion at every level: powerful enough to fill the space, refined enough not to overwhelm it.
Audemars Piguet is one of the most respected names in Swiss watchmaking - a brand built on precision, heritage, and an uncompromising standard of craft. For their 150th anniversary celebration, every element of the evening was curated to reflect that. Sound was no exception.
West Kowloon presented a large, open event space with the acoustic demands of a high-profile gala: clear, even coverage across the full venue, with enough low-frequency presence to give the evening its energy - without the harshness that can undermine a premium atmosphere.
Twelve Omni speakers were deployed across the venue, delivering 360-degree coverage that kept the sound level consistent whether guests were at the centre of the room or at its edges. Four subwoofers added the full-spectrum depth appropriate for a celebration of this scale - present and powerful without overpowering the conversations and moments the evening was built around.
Two Stream units managed the audio wirelessly across the venue. No cabling across the event floor. No infrastructure that would compromise the visual presentation Harper's Bazaar and Audemars Piguet had assembled for the night.
"An event like this demands audio that performs at the level of every other element in the room. The system delivered that - and the wireless setup meant the space looked exactly as it was designed to look."
Guests at Audemars Piguet's 150th anniversary experienced an evening where the audio was never a distraction - consistent across the full venue, rich enough to match the occasion, and invisible in the way that all good event infrastructure should be.
For luxury events and high-profile brand activations where audio quality is non-negotiable and visual presentation cannot be compromised, the Audemars Piguet anniversary demonstrates what wireless commercial audio delivers at the highest level: sound that belongs in the room - because it was designed to be there.
