Upon winning the Sony Open in Hawai'i, not only did K.J. Choi accept a title and a trophy, he also scored a Harry Winston watch. James Schaefer and Ken Kashiki, of the Ala Moana Center Harry Winston salon, presented the PGA pro with an 18-carat white gold Excenter Timezone timepiece valued at $26,900. It features two time zones, so Kim can keep up with the time in his native South Korea while attending to the matters at hand wherever in the world he may be.

A trunk show from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. tomorrow at Sandal Tree Ala Moana will introduce Rabotin's latest styles, including a mary jane and some thongs that can walk 10 miles on cobbled streets. A Thierry Rabotin shoe book is a gift with purchase.
