Are you able to phone venue to find if it's true or not Sevens ?

I'm being cheeky I know.   

Don't know if there's any public events? I once went to see one of my idols in Shanghai...
George, would you mind coming to Xi'an? The First Lady just did recently.  

Described as a cafe and Italian restaurant on Four Square..........mmm, we'll see, but the Omega logo looks bona fide...................

Yes but who knows ? Lol

Hey...I hope that person isn't kidding or photoshopping. Some George fans here are already planning on a fly to Shanghai!

I've checked this cafe. It seems to be really famous and highly rated. Not that expensive but it has quiet and beautiful environment.
It got over 1800 comments from consumers here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

If Cindy told him about this?

WOW never expected his first official appearance after the engagement would be an Omega event in Asia. Hope it is true.

Can't wait for pics   He will be looking good after his holiday in Cabo.....I'm sure he can't wait for Asian food hehe

Thanks sevens for the video. I hope we get so much to see from George when he is there   

maybe

Well, I guess he had to go back to work sometime. After all, he does have a wedding to pay for.   - Hope there are lots of pictures.

Well Jo I feel too shy to phone the cafe and I don't think they'll confirm this because it's private business. But I've asked a famous reporter in the showbiz about this, and he says he hasn't known about this,but willing to check with his sources. I'm waiting for his news.

Oh well done Sevens....that's a good move.    

If George is going to be there for an official Omega event then I'm sure there will be photos taken and distributed to the media.

Don't see why there's this need to get confirmation prior to the event.

Well, isn't it so we can track him morning, noon and night? And what about the timeline that will surely need to be figured out? Will they go to London first? Or will they leave from LA and head west until they get to the Far East?

When it was posted, hours ago over here, not sure if it was a hoax or not.

Because inquiring minds want to know? And we would like to hear something about George for a change?

The wording "in the presence" seems odd to me - I'm wondering if he filmed a greeting that will be played at the event.

Hi guys,
I live in Shanghai and so I am going to go to the event on Friday. I know that famous fashion blogger Kristina Bazan is flying in from Europe to go to the event so I'm pretty sure it's official. I will try and get a picture with George for you fans! Hahaha If you want to catch up with me you can follow my fashion instagram @romantisice
  

Thank you, Zara. Brill!

Thanks Zara. It's too late for me to fly to Shanghai I guess cause I don't have enough money!
But I'll tell some Chinese George fans living in Shanghai this GREAT news!
Once in a lifetime!

OMG...what should I do? Borrow 1000 bucks and book a ticket to Shanghai right now? Am I going to meet George for sure?
It's driving me crazy!!! Missing this chance, I don't think I will meet him in my life!

Well lets wait and see if we get some pictures of him at the airport leaving LA. Than you now for sure he is most likely coming your way. And than we can discuss a plan of action for you hehehe

He travels a lot, sevens, so sit tight and save your money. One day he may end up heading your way.

Yes, please share pictures Zara!

OMG Kristina Bazan just posted on [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

He also attends numerous events via video feed....

Well that journalist says "George seems to come indeed."
I don't know if that's a confirmation or not.

the artists
CULTURAL AND ARTISTIC DEVELOPMENT
Art is the real luxury in life. A natural consequence is to bring art to where luxury is in Shanghai and to combine these components through creativity. Where can this blend of luxury, art and creativity be better expressed than in the Swatch Art Peace Hotel on the Bund? A historic luxury hotel to host an artist residential community. An artist residency of a unique kind. 


Shanghai is one of the world's most exciting places for contemporary art and the artists who create it. Ateliers, theaters, galleries and museums light up, transforming the city into an avant-garde experiment in imagining the future.
The Swatch Art Peace Hotel Artist Residency invites artists from around the world to apply online for a residency in this extraordinary city.


Different forms of art are welcome to explore the contemporary arts in China's most vibrant city: photography, music, filmmaking, writing, dancing, painting and conceptual art.


The applications are reviewed by an international committee whose efforts ensure that a broad range of artistic disciplines, styles and national origins is represented. The selection process aims to integrate artists in a spirit of openness and curiosity about creativity in its diverse forms and contexts.


At present, the members of the Artist Selection Committee are: Nayla Hayek, Chair of the Board of Directors, Swatch Group; Nick Hayek, CEO, Swatch Group; Esther Grether, Board Member, Swatch Group; George Clooney, Actor; François-Henri Pinault, Chairman and CEO, PPR; Mikhail Kusnirovich, Russian Entrepreneur and Chairman of the Strategic Development Committee of the Department Store GUM; Sir Francis Yeoh, Chairman of YTL Group.
Known and unknown artists are invited to stay and work for a period of three up to six months in one of the 18 studios. They meet to exchange ideas, prepare and enjoy meals together, talk about their work and life in Shanghai, plan new projects and share their visions.


The artists are accommodated in the Hotel at the invitation of Swatch Group, which for its part asks only that they leave a “trace” of their visit.


The Swatch Art Peace Hotel Artist Residency aims to contribute in a significant manner to the cultural and artistic development of Shanghai. Artists will benefit from their exposure to an international public at the most prestigious location in Shanghai, and it is hoped the new art hotel and artist residency will serve as an open door to the world, a permanent invitation to engage in cultural exchange.

And I don't think this is the cafe we were referring to...That cafe isn't located beside the Bund. And someone called that Le Jardin Secret and they said there's never any events relating Omega in their place.
I think that place is really too small for an official Omega event.

OK now we got a confirmation an hour ago:
