The Peak meets charismatic Breitling ambassador Daniel Wu, at the brand’s star-studded Beijing launch marking its entry into China.
“When you meet (Daniel Wu), he has an aura,” says legendary celebrity photographer Peter Lindbergh, in a behind-the-scenes video for Breitling’s latest campaign. Having snapped countless A-listers, Lindbergh would know all about distinctive personalities. The Peak came into contact with Wu’s charm itself during the Breitling Summit held in Beijing last November to mark the opening of the brand’s first flagship boutique – and its entry into China.
Sitting down for a group interview, the award-winning American-Chinese actor, director and producer was casually clad in a stylish colour block shirt and dark checked trousers. At 44 years of age, 20 of which were spent in the entertainment industry, he easily holds his own amid Hollywood heavyweights Brad Pitt, Charlize Theron and Adam Driver, all of whom, along with Wu, are part of Breitling’s Cinema Squad. Asia is, after all, home turf, and Wu was a powerful combination of elegant style and eloquent answers, be they in English or Mandarin.
