The Launch of OMEGA House


Only a day after the Olympics opening ceremony, OMEGA  - the official Timeskeepers of the London 2012 Olympics – hosted the celebrity launch party of the OMEGA House on Saturday 28th July. With attendees such as Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban, Eddie Redmayne, Kit Harington and Zara Martin, the party was a celebrity mixture of Hollywood glamour and finest UK talent from film, television, music and fashion.

As the OMEGA ambassador, Nicole Kidman arrived to the party first, showcasing her Ladymatic timepiece, which was accentuating her beautiful Azzedine Alaia dress (see picture bellow).

The guests were taken care of on all levels: Jarvis Cocker (Pulp front-man) got the party going with playing an amazing set, Dynamo, the celebrity illusionist, took care of catching guest’s attention, while Johnnie Walker Gold Label “Golden Moment” cocktails and sumptuous canapés satisfied all other guests’ needs.

OMEGA House is located in Soho’s historic House of St. Barnabas, more precisely on 1 Greek Street. The House will be a luxury retreat during the Olympics and its main feature is the Instagram inspired Wall of Fame, which was first signed by Nicole Kidman and Eddie Redmayne and will be marked by many other medalists and international VIPs during the Games.
In the words of the OMEGA President Stephen Urquhart: “…It is an ideal place to greet old friends and meet new ones in an appealing, comfortable environment.” Definitely worth a visit!
