Whether it is the opening of a new movie or a restaurant, “openings” are big deals in Hollywood to draw the eyes of the world. Celebrities who join the crowd add the main glamour and what they are wearing becomes even hotter topic for discussion. Recently it was the opening of “Philippe” in West Hollywood in Los Angeles, a new dining space by Philippe Chow. Mr. Chow is a well-known chef among many celebrities in LA as well as others who travel to enjoy his popular Chinese and Asian Fusion cuisine at his Philippe restaurant locations.

Kobe Bryant, an athlete and of course a major celebrity, showed up at the opening of Mr. Chow’s restaurant in LA. Along with enjoying the food, Kobe tacitly announced the release of the latest Nubeo Black Mamba watch collection as well. He was seen wearing a Black Mamba MVP model with black sapphires around the bezel. The watch was specially designed to match Kobe’s enthusiastic collaboration.

The large Nubeo Black Mamba watch seemed perfect on Kobe’s larger wrists. The clever design of the case will make the timepiece look good even on smaller wrists. Priced at about $25,000, the watch cost more for the Black Mamba strap and for the black sapphire stone covered models. Located in West Hollywood at 8284 Melrose Ave, the new Philippe restaurant is bound to be a hot spot for all to come.
