“ I ’ve a lways looked forward
to Christmas for the many beauti-
ful things it em-bodies — love,
shar ing , hope and family — all
of which I’ve con-stantly encouraged within the Singa-pore Montblanc family, to hold close to their hearts. For 2008, I hope for the people of the world to come together to com-bat climate change and to protect Moth-er Earth, in her time of need. For Montblanc,
I wish my staff success, love and continued team
spirit as we steer the brand towards the next pinnacle.”
— Catherine Ang, managing director, Montblanc SEA
“Christmas is a time to share with family and
friends. For me, it is also a time to reflect
on the past year and look ahead to the
coming one and the promise of what it
will bring. The mar-kets are dynamic and present a lot of chal-lenges as well as op-portunities. May you seize both the chal-lenges and oppor-tunities with deter-mination. Wishing your trading in 2008 will be an enjoya-ble and profitable
one.”— Geoffrey Sawyer,
general manager, CMC Markets Singapore
Head honchos share their hopes and dreams for next year
“It may have been said be-
fore, but my hopes would sti l l be for a more har-monious and peaceful world, where every-one can work towards suc-cess in whatev-er they do. Here in Singapore, my desire is to see
Audi established as a household
name; where Audi drivers en-
joy their car and where it’s very
much a part of their life and lifestyle.”
— Reinhold Carl, manag-ing director, Audi Singapore
“My wish for 2008 will
be for anoth-er great year
for Singapore and the South-east Asian econ-omies. If steady growth contin-ues, combined with a higher flow of tourists, the watch and jew-ellery business will experience another record year in the re-gion. The challenge in our industry is to get
enough supply from Switzer-land... I hope then that the movement and watch
makers will be very productive!”— Thomas Bouillonnec, general manager,
Piaget Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam
Festive Wishes “Christmas is to me, a commemoration of the
birth of Christ, which has brought reconcilia-tion, lasting peace and eternal hope to many. As we bid farewell to 2007 and pave the way for the New Year, I believe that with astute management, our economy will remain resilient as we weather the present effects of high oil prices, rising inflation, a vol-
atile stock market and the subprime crisis in the US. I
would like to wish everyone a blessed Christmas, good health,
lots of love, joy and prosperity in the coming year and beyond.”
— Ong Lay Ling, managing director, Trans Eurokars Pte Ltd

“I look forward to a prosperous 2008 for
Singapore and the region and I believe it will be. I like to transform my hopes and dreams into a vi-sion and work hard to make that vision a reality. I am sure 2008 will be a year of growth and I look for-ward to it. Good health and a good personal family life provide the foundation for sound
achievements in busi-ness life.”
— Christopher Kilaniotis, managing director, Cartier
“2007 has been a good year with much to be thankful for. Sin-
gapore has upped her vibrancy quotient with the Formula One race, the rejuvenation
of Orchard Road and the possibility of having the Youth Olympic Games.
There is a general feeling that we could really shoot for the stars. I hope our lovely ‘little red dot’ continues to pulse with excite-ment and energy for many gen-erations to come. Christmas is a time to be with family and friends. May I, through The Edge Singapore, wish the Ascott family and all who have made Ascott’s serviced residences their home away from home,
the most joyful Christ-mas ever!”
— Jennie Chua, CEO, Ascott International
Management
“More than ever, I wish that the
luxury we sell is the simplicity of
quality, elegance and harmony plus a certain durability that enables the prod-uct to become imbued with the imprint of its owner’s personality.” — Eric Bosviel Grellety, Apac managing director,
La Montre Hermès
