Oris today launched its first Island Boutique in Malaysia at 1 Utama Shopping Centre. The launch event also saw the brand recognise the achievements of Paralympians Hasihin Sanawi and Mohammad Ziyad Zolkefli, singer Shila Amzah, and Moto3 racer Zulfahmi Khairuddin.
The Oris Island Boutique is the first kiosk-styled boutique designed to provide convenience for customers and visitors to experience the vast ranges of Oris watches available in the Malaysian market. Six additional Oris Island Boutiques are targeted to open within three years in major malls nationwide.
“The achievements of our Paralympians Hasihin Sanawi and Mohammad Ziyad Zolkefli, singer Shila Amzah, and Moto3 GP racer Zulfahmi Khairuddin, should be recognised and celebrated, as they exude the very culture and qualities of Oris, where precision, timing, skill and dedication to achieve the best, is at the core. Their success serves to inspire Malaysians,” said Raymond Tan, General Manager of Oris Malaysia.
Hasihin Sanawi, Mohammad Ziyad Zulkefli and Zulfahmi Khairuddin have shown their hard work and sportsmanship in their respective sports throughout the years, and Shila Amzah is one of the star contributors to Malaysia’s reputation in the music industry in Asia. Oris has seen their efforts and decided to recognise their achievements. Their efforts are also in line with the Oris tagline of “Real Watches for Real People”. All four icons have shown extraordinary passion in their respective fields, and are ideal role models to be emulated by all Malaysians. They were each presented with an Oris watch as a token of recognition during the launch.
The watch presentation marks Oris’ second celebration with achievers. Hasihin, Ziyad, Shila and Zulfahmi, joined Olympians Pandelela Rinong and Azizulhasni Awang, together with internationally renowned violinist Dennis Lau, who were each presented with an Oris watch for their achievements in September last year.
Oris also ran a Facebook contest where six lucky people would be able to attend and meet the icons in person. Other guests at the star-studded event included Dennis Lau, current Miss Universe-Malaysia, Carey Ng, and Miss Oris Elegant May Salitah.
