As part of its “Haute Collector” series, Knockoff Watches Wholesale and its CEO Kamal Hotchandani boarded the infamous Usher Yacht that is to be heavily featured in the upcoming Entourage film (that acts as a sequel to the HBO series of the same name). The boat was stacked to the brim with its sponsors’ heavily coveted products: Louis XII cognac and F.P. Journe timepieces.

The Haute Minute

Knockoff Watches Wholesale boards the Usher Yacht as part of its "Haute Collector" series with F.P. Journe watches, Louis XII cognac, and a whole lot of VIPs.

25 people dined and sipped on cognac in the yacht’s VIP dining room. Louis XII ambassador Victor Blanquart lead a toast that commemorated a truly magical evening above the seas. Some very important people came out in troves for the event: Fontainebleau president Philip Goldfarb, Uber developer Gil Dezer and wife Lorena, F.P. Journe President Pierre Halimi, megastar baseball MLB player Miguel Cabrera, socialites Louis and Judith Kemp Fanjul, and singer Kevin Lyttle and his wife, the cover girl  Effy Harvard.
