Hong Kong singer-songwriter Eason Chan talks all things music, mental health and his childhood Superman watch
After a six-year wait, DUO are set to release new album ‘L.O.V.E.’ by the end of the year starring the ‘Hooked on You’, ‘Love in Space’, ‘Trivial Matters’ and ‘Crazy N’ the City’ star
They say good things come to those who wait, and that is certainly true for the new album “L.O.V.E.” by DUO including the “god of songs” himself, Hong Kong’s own Eason Chan.
Chan alone has released 89 records, sold more than 20 million albums, and had more than 300 solo concerts in over 80 cities since we first heard from the popular singer-songwriter way back in 1995.
He has also successfully forayed into the world of acting with acclaimed roles in the likes of Hooked on You, Love in Space, Trivial Matters and Crazy N’ the City.
Chan is also the newest ambassador for watch brand Zenith, and with “L.O.V.E.” expected to drop before the end of the year after a six year wait, we caught up with the 44-year-old.
You’ve just been named ambassador for Zenith. What do you personally look for when choosing a timepiece?
When I choose a timepiece, the brand name is important because it represents their craftsmanship. The design is important too. Comfort, yes, but to be honest, comfort is not the main thing for me. Design is very important. Materials are very important too.
For function, it does have effects on me, like a perpetual calendar that can count leap year, the sound of the ticking of mechanics in a watch gives me excitement as well.
What was the first watch you ever owned?
