[Shanghai, June 21, 2009] The making of movie “Bodyguards and Assassins” is very promising. Besides investing RMB43,000,000 building the biggest 1:1 scale set of the City of Victoria (British Colony of Hong Kong in 1905) ever built in Shanghai, they have also successfully got the support from the prestigious Swiss luxury watch brand Audemars Piguet, which will lend a few pieces of priceless antique pocket watches for shooting, and associate the story with Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s life-threatening moments within his short stay in Hong Kong.
Mr. Wolfgang Sickenberg, CEO of Audemars Piguet (Hong Kong), Mr. David von Gunten, new CEO of Audemars Piguet (Hong Kong) and movie Producer Mr. Peter Chan take a photo together in this very expensively built city.
Priceless pocket watches dating back to 1900s from Audemars Piguet museum will appear in the movie Bodyguards and Assassins.
In order to match the historical background of the movie, Mr. Martin Wehrli, Audemars Piguet Museum Director, especially selected a few pocket watches dating back to 1900s from his very precious museum collections and shipped immediately from Switzerland to Hong Kong. These priceless pocket watches have been brought to Shanghai now and are presented to Mr. Peter Chan, Producer of the movie by Mr. Wolfgang Sickenberg, CEO of Audemars Piguet (Hong Kong), Mr. David von Gunten, new CEO of Audemars Piguet (Hong Kong) and Ms. Karen Yong, Regional Marketing Manager of Audemars Piguet. Peter expressed his sincere appreciation to Audemars Piguet, and is confident that these museum pieces would contribute a lot to make the movie more persuasive. Mr. Sickenberg said it is quite honored to cooperate with such a great movie, he hoped that the 134 years history of Audemars Piguet would fit in the story well and wished the movie a great success.
