Miami Beach, FL – December 3, 2013 – Watch lovers and car enthusiasts gathered at IWC Schaffhausen’s Soirée Haute Horlogerie at the Bal Harbour waterfront residence of Alan and Ruth Zelcer to celebrate the exclusive viewing of a vintage 1939 Mercedes Silver Arrow.

The car, which was only driven in one race, remains in pristine condition, making it the eye candy for the evening, complete with vintage pics of the car from the 1930s lining the walls of the home. The car marks a partnership between the Swiss watch manufacturer and Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team As the Official Engineering Partner. The two brands have been affiliated since 2004.

Guests dined on a meal prepared by celebrity chef Michael Mina, who paired marinated octopus and hay-smoked filet with Krug Champagne. VIP guests included IWC President Gianfranco D’Attis, CEO Georges Kern, Porsche Tower developer Gil Dezer, socialite Barbara Becker as well as Haute Living CEO Kamal Hotchandani. After dinner, special guest Estelle sang American Boy and other songs to the crowd, who took in the performance by dancing the night away.
