PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA – Media OutReach – 16 November 2022 – The Kingdom of Cambodia, as chairman and the host country of the 40th and 41st ASEAN and Related Summits, has commissioned and presented 25 limited edition timepieces as gifts to world leaders who attended the Summits.
The champagne dial emblazoned with “ASEAN CAMBODIA 2022” features a sunken sub-second at 6 o’clock, embellished with the Lotus flower design.
< >Specially designed and assembled by the Prince Horology Vocational Training Center in Cambodia, the ASEAN Lotus Tourbillion watches underscore ASEAN’s spirit of togetherness, not only as a timeless feature of its unity but also as an enduring strength that ASEAN member countries and its dialogue partners can rely on upon through tough times and formidable challenges.

Each timepiece comes in a 43.5mm steel case with an exhibition back, and sapphire crystals situated on the front at the back.
