Swiss Watch Gallery transformed the sprawling concourse of Pavilion Kuala Lumpur into a “temple of speed”, decked out with visual references to the world of motorsports, from asphalt-like flooring to runway markings, racing lanes and chequered flags. This is in tribute to man’s long-time obsession with speed which has inspired many a watchmaker’s pursuit of high precision and accuracy.
