Supermodel Cindy Crawford visited Gaysorn shopping mall in Bangkok last Tuesday to promote a new luxury jewellery collection.
“They couldn’t have picked a person that is more of a time freak than me,” said mother-of-two Cindy on her role as an ambassador for the Omega jewellery and watch brand. “I’m able to get a lot more done if I am punctual.”
A large group of reporters and members of the general public crowded around the small publicity area on the lower-ground floor of Gaysorn to get a glimpse of the world renowned supermodel as she promoted Omega’s Bijoux Collection.
“We chose Cindy because we believe, like Omega, Cindy stands for quality and classic style,” said Stephen Urquhart, President of Omega International.
“I only arrived yesterday, but so far I’ve had a chance to eat some delicious Thai food, I’ve been shopping and had a massage,” said Cindy. “I don’t get rocognised so much in Thailand, but I have signed a few autographs when I’ve been out.”
“I love Thailand because the people are so wonderful and hospitable,” continued Cindy. “I would love to stay longer but I have to fly back tomorrow to attend my daughter’s pre-school graduation.”
Traveling all over the world as an ambassador for Omega, Cindy is also able to do some charity work, as all of Omega’s ambassadors, including Nicole Kidman, are able to do. “So far we’ve been to places like Seoul, Hong Kong and Shanghai,” said Cindy.
“Today we will be holding an auction with all of the proceeds going to Unicef,” added Stephen.
Omega itself, an established brand of quality jewellery, has been investing time and money into the launch of a new boutique on the ground floor of Gaysorn. “Omega is still the first and only timepiece to have been worn on the moon,” said Stephen with some pride.
He continued: “Omega as a brand has been doing very well in Thailand. What we have found is that the Thai market is actually very knowledgable when it comes to watch and jewellery collecting. Omega has a pretigious history in fine jewellery-making stretching back over 150 years now.”
When asked about her secrets to staying beautiful, Cindy replied “The secret is, there are no secrets.”
