Discover Drive De Cartier With Christopher Lee
Married to Fann Wong, arguably Singapore’s most famous actress, Christopher Lee is television royalty. Lee has been a major presence on Singapore’s screens since 1995, when he was runner up in the Star Search talent contest.
Since then the ageless Lee has notched up hit after hit over a two-decade career spanning Asia film and television, including Chinese crowd-puller The Romance of the Condor Heroes. His repertoire even includes song, having released two albums as well as over a dozen singles, including several duets with his wife.
Lee has been almost a yearly feature at the Star Awards, Singapore’s equivalent of the Emmys, most recently clinching the Best Actor prize in 2016 for the musical Crescendo.
And his talent has been recognised in the wider world, most notably when he landed the Best Leading Actor at the 49th Golden Bell Awards in 2014 for his role in Taiwanese drama A Good Wife.
Lee’s tremendous talent has made him the archetype of the gentleman who wears the Drive de Cartier, the latest men’s timepiece from the Parisian jeweler. Here he shares his perspectives on life and the concept of time.
The Hour Glass gets candid with the ultimate Drive man this Christmas.
