Under another name, but with security measures that assumed that it could not be anyone, George Clooney landed on Tuesday at noon in Mykonos. The images of his arrival at the airport (very nice, smiling and greeting everyone who approached him despite the supposed anonymity), those of his arrival at the luxurious hotel where he stayed for a single night (an endless balcony with impressive views of the mythical Aegean Sea) and those of the party that Omega organized in style on Lia beach (a marvel nestled in the southeast of the island) to celebrate the 75th anniversary of its iconic Seamaster diving watch, left in a very second background the Greek electoral hangover.
“George, I’m George”, the Omega ambassador was introduced at this great event (the best held, at least to date, on the Isla de los Vientos) before one of the 200 guests from all over the globe who attended. They approached the presidential table to see up close the cast of stars that brought together the appointment. Because in addition to “George, I’m George”, on the night of Omega, the award-winning actress and Bond star, Naomie Harris; actor Jesse Williams; the interpreters Diego Boneta and Paul Wesley Ninho; South Korean model and actor Hyun Bin and TV presenter, producer, author and wine expert Antoni Porowski. And even the explorer Victor Vescovo, who announced an upcoming adventure no longer in the ocean “but heading towards outer space to discover the beyond of our horizons.”
Hundreds of candles spread across the sand of the most paradisiacal of the beaches on this island, which is exactly as one imagines it to be – a hippy enclave with 81 kilometers of overwhelming beauty converted into a chic destination for endless parties – and a menu by the Greek chef Tasos Mantís (as Hellenic as the blue-green that paints the sky of Mykonos) set the bar very high for the upcoming parties on this expert island in precisely that. At the most tremendously chic parties. The occasion, explained Rayna Aeschlimann, (the executive director of the company, who also has star manners and speech) deserved it. The history of the Seamaster is a source of pride not only for Omega, but for the entire fine watchmaking sector. “The numerous tributes paid to the Seamaster here in Greece are proof of his versatility. As well as being stylish enough to turn heads, it can withstand extreme environments. His name says it all. The Seamaster is a legend: 75 years old and still valid”, explained the president.
And it was confirmed by Blair Tuke and Peter Burling, the two most nautical ambassadors for Omega, who will defend the title in the next America’s Cup aboard Emirates Team New Zealand. Olympic medalists and founders of Live Ocean (a charity that supports marine science, innovation, technology and conservation projects) made time in their busy schedule to also be in Mykonos. And they took advantage of his quick visit. They not only toasted those 75 years of the Seamaster, but they even had time to meet Petros, the pelican that walks through the port area and that, with the permission of the cats and the mills, is the best tourist attraction on this beautiful island. taken by the party Party but chic. It has already been said.
