During the cocktail, attendees were treated to a surprise performance by violinist Edward W. Hardy, who put on a 15-minute rendition of hip-hop songs like “All of the Lights,” “Wild Thoughts,” and “Old Town Road,” on his violin as the audience listened on in admiration.

Following the performance, the group was invited to the sit-down dinner portion, where tables were gorgeously dressed in orchid floral and votive designs by Helen & Olivia, accompanied by the brand’s signature acrylic white H’s, which made for a picture-perfect setting.

Hublot President of North America Jean-Francois Sberro addressed the group prior to the decadent dinner. “Thank you all for being here tonight. We are very honored to be hosting this dinner and kicking off the first event with our new friend Alexander Ovechkin. When a French guy working for a Swiss company welcomes a Russian friend of the brand in a Japanese restaurant with an American partner—that is the Art of Fusion at its best!” he raised his glass as the group toasted with a round of applause.

Guests enjoyed a Hublot-branded cigar lounge outside after dinner, where they got to choose from a wonderful selection of Arturo Fuente Cigars before departing for the evening. Each guest got to take home a special gift bag, which included a Hublot-branded hockey puck and signed hat by Ovechkin.
