Watch Out For Spice Market



I fuckin hate night clubs. I think they're meat markets that serve the underbelly of humanity. Being in Melbourne these last 10 days has opened up my eyes to real night life. So there is this amazing bar lounge called Spice Market, located in down town Melbourne, on Beaney Lane off Russell Street. This is owned by my dear friend Geremy Lucas. I met Geremy on New Years Eve and partied with him at the SLS Hotel in LA. Geremy is a flamboyant savvy businessman with a heart of gold who owns two restaurants besides Spice Market. Momo in the Hyatt Hotel in Melbourne and Rosati which is a full on Italian restaurant around the corner from the other two venues. These are very upscale places that are all individually different. When I met Geremy his watch of choice was Panerai PAM00104 which is his daily wearer. We started talking watches and we became good friends.

Going to Spice Market, twice on this trip, Geremy has treated me like a brother and given me first class treatment all the way.
This place is located in a very cool alley way which is sort of dark yet extremely ambient with lines of people going on for days to get into the club. The inside is fully decadent, reminds me of a cross between the movie Blade Runner and the glam of Studio 54. There are industrial elements mixed with opulence, Steel bird cages are suspended from the ceiling surrounding the bar, where one side is a sea of humanity dancing drinking and raving to the most hypnotic current and old school music. While the other side of this bar is the VIP section surrounded by all these really interesting lounge rooms with the most amazing couches draped in the most extravagant skins and fabrics with a plethora of pillows.

The finest watches in the world can be spotted from various places in the club ranging from pedestrian brands like Omega Breitling and Rolex fame to the most exotic unusual watches like Richard Mille, Urwerk, and Harry Winston watches. The finest liquors in the world are served especially 666 Vodka which Jeremy and his brother will launch in LA in mid April. IF your in Melbourne and looking for a great place to chill, drink watch spot and be horny then go to The Spice Market ask for Geremy and tell him Johnny Flyback sent you!
