Gallery: House of Classics launch party at HAUS

Photo: House of Classics

Classic car fans gathered at HAUS this month (14 and 15 May 2021) to celebrate the launch of House of Classics, a new private member’s community offering guests a range of refined lifestyle experiences from F&B to travel and fashion. At the event, House of Classics’ brand partners were on-site to showcase the wide range of premium lifestyle experiences members can come to expect.

They included menswear boutique The Armoury, co-founded by #legend100 influencer Alan See, who gave an informative styling session, luxury Swiss watch manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen, who hosted a watchmaking demo and the Whisky Library team, who offered a tasting experience of select whiskies from classic brands. The @watchprofessor himself, Carson Chan, was also there to share his insights on classic cars and luxury timepieces.

There was even a classic car present for plenty of photo opps – the Mercedes Benz 1960 190SL – while guests were invited to sign up for a test drive experience from the House of Classics collection. With four different pillars (Play, Eat, Spark and Meet), House of Classics offers 6-month and 12-month packages, each with different numbers of allocated drive days plus VIP access to events and privileges.
