\u201cA Journey Through Time<\/i><\/span> was born in 2007 from a celebration of the love and passion we shared for the finest timepieces and their heritage. Over the decade, we have been blessed to see the event and Starhill Gallery grow to become icons of luxury shopping and the event calendar of the region. Fine jewellery has since become an integral part of the event and this milestone year is exceptional with the inaugural <\/span>JeweLuxe<\/i><\/span>\u00ae<\/i><\/span><\/sup> showcasing distinguished jewellery houses and high octane designers from America, Europe and Asia. We are proud to have Malaysia\u2019s own luxury watchmaker <\/span>MASA Horlogerie<\/i><\/span> making their global debut with us. We also welcome the return of the sensational and critically-acclaimed Ms. Carly Paoli gracing us with her talent at our Opening Gala Night \u2026 and this is just for starters!\u201d said YBhg. Tan Sri Dr. Francis Yeoh, Managing Director, YTL Corporation. <\/span><\/p>\n

Supported by Malaysia\u2019s Ministry of Tourism and Culture, <\/span>A Journey Through Time X<\/i><\/span> will bring its 10<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> anniversary theme of \u201cLegacy and Icons<\/span>\u201d <\/i><\/span>to life through an expanded calendar of exclusive offerings. Watch aficionados will preview iconic and never- seen pieces in Asia while jewellery lovers will indulge in rare gems and exquisite creations by award-winning jewellers. The best of local and international fashion houses will collaborate with renowned watch and jewellery labels in shows and exhibitions, while culinary experiences for guests by Starhill Gallery\u2019s Feast Village will be as diversely flavoured as <\/span>A Journey Through Time<\/i><\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMalaysia is a leading shopping destination in the region. <\/span>A Journey Through Time<\/i><\/span> has for the last nine years reinforced Kuala Lumpur as a must-visit destination for the most discerning of travellers from Malaysia and around the world. We are pleased to see the strong commitment by YTL and Starhill Gallery towards growing this event and keeping the content fresh year on year to ensure there is something for everyone to enjoy,\u201d said YBhg. Datuk Seri Mirza Mohammad Taiyab, Director General, Tourism Malaysia. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis year is special as it is a double celebration. The event is marking an important milestone and we see a stronger content of Malaysian creations taking centre stage through a showcases of our very own cultural legacy – the <\/span>songket,<\/i><\/span> Malaysia\u2019s first-ever watchmaking company of its calibre \u2013 <\/span>MASA Horlogerie<\/i><\/span> and <\/span>Simone Jewels\u2019<\/i><\/span> creations by a Malaysia-born, Singapore-based designer Simone Ng at <\/span>JeweLuxe<\/i><\/span>\u00ae<\/i><\/span><\/sup>. It is a testament on how it has grown to be more than an event that exhibits international brands but encourages and supports home-grown talents too. This is exactly what Tourism Malaysia has hoped to see as we continue to support local efforts like <\/span>A Journey Through Time<\/i><\/span>,\u201d added Datuk Seri Mirza.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLuxury shoppers from Malaysia and around the world have come to expect well-curated experiences in our annual event as we push for more creative content every year. As <\/span>A Journey Through Time<\/i><\/span> is moving to the next decade, we have also made our offerings more inclusive and opened to the public, encouraging young novice collectors and enthusiasts from the public to discover, better appreciate and acquire timepieces and jewellery in Starhill Gallery. They are the future of the watch and jewellery industry which is expanding to capture new and emerging markets of consumers. Our event must also grow in tandem to appeal to new interests and expectations,\u201d said Joseph Yeoh, Vice President, YTL Land & Development and YTL Hotels and Properties.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2015, Malaysia welcomed 25.7 million tourist arrivals and RM69.1 billion in receipts with top arrivals coming from Singapore and Indonesia.
