Erwin van der Putten, Managing Director of Bowers & Wilkins Benelux: "Ever since Bowers & Wilkins BeNeLux chose to relocate their head office to Antwerp, we wanted to do something special. Antwerp is renowned for its Diamond business (diamond capital of the world), therefore we chose to commission a limited edition Headphone set with real Antwerp diamonds as our way of celebrating our new head Office (ID-Lounge) in Antwerp. The P5 diamond is the result of 50 years' experience in acoustics , audio quality and the best quality diamonds in the world. 'A concert for one' just became a whole lot more exclusive. We chose Capi for their great reputation in offering quality products for the right price and because of the high international exposure possibilities within their duty free chain. Their customer profile fits Bowers & Wilkins perfectly."
Peter Wiggers, Managing Director Capi-Lux, is pleased with the closer collaboration between Capi and Bowers & Wilkins : "Bowers & Wilkins is a renowned brand of superior quality electronics that is ideally suited to our strategy and our brand portfolio.
