Last night, actor and Scream Queens’ star Glen Powell along with LA insiders celebrated ‘On Dobel Time’, Maestro Dobel Tequila’s multi-city program, which takes guests on a journey into the world of timepieces in partnership with Hodinkee, a leader in original horology content.
Held at Greenhouse at Platform LA, the event space was portioned into the shape of a clock face that featured 5 visually stunning bars, representing stops in time. The evening featured revered, handpicked collector wrist watches curated by Hodinkee’s founder Benjamin Clymer and paired with Maestro Dobel’s meticulously crafted variants to highlight the art and precision of both spirit and time.
