The event was an unprecedented gathering of the world’s rarest supercars including the Ferrari Enzo, an Original Pagani, the 50th Anniversary Lamborghini, a Bugatti, and a custom Ferrari from Platinum Motor Sports.

Walnut is the home of Hing Wa Lee, a veritable Mecca for luxury watch enthusiasts, boasting rows upon rows of the finest, rarest, and most expensive luxury timepieces on the planet. The car collectors parked their rides outside of Hing Wa Lee before heading to Ootoro Sushi for an “Omakase” experience hosted by Hing wa Lee’s David Lee, Ulysse Nardin, and Haute Time.
