“I’d give you the moon”

It’s a promise made in countless songs and poems - and even the crazy in love know it’s lunacy. Still, if you’re already floating on a cloud, why not take an extra leap and give it a try? It’s a beautiful gesture and your sweetheart will love you for it.

Don’t worry, you don’t have to go it alone. We’ve already been to the lunar surface - so we know the way.

The stage is set for adventure, so let’s begin. To help set the scene, we’ve provided a cluster of stars: also known as a Constellation. Two in fact! Both in steel and 18K Sedna™ gold. Also, as you’re on a mission to grab the moon, it seemed logical to include watches with ‘claws’

“If giving the whole of the moon is beyond your grasp, consider the Constellation, with its famous half-moons”

Be sure to check conditions on the lunar surface just prior to launch.

To light the way, we suggest the golden glow of luxury, in generous supply on OMEGA’s new Trésor in 18K Moonshine™ gold.

Remember the love mission motto: high style, even in low gravity.

“Should it prove impossible to give your loved-one the moon, the De Ville with its delicate mesh bracelet and 38 full-cut diamonds is the perfect plan B”

You’re about ready to bring back the moon, so good luck and bon voyage.

Remember, if you’d rather reach for the possible, we have beautiful timepieces your loved one will adore just as much – and they’re a lot easier to gift wrap.

Either way, we wish you a happy Valentine’s Day – and moonlit night.

Porsche takes the new 911 GT3 off the leash

The seventh generation of the high-performance Porsche 911 GT3 was developed in close collaboration with Porsche Motorsport. It transfers pure racing technology into a production model: the double wishbone front axle layout and sophisticated aerodynamics with a swan neck rear wing and a striking diffuser originate from the successful GT race car 911 RSR. Tried and tested in endurance racing, the 510 PS (375 kW) four-litre six-cylinder boxer engine is based on the drivetrain of the 911 GT3 R. The acoustically impressive, high-revving engine is also used in the new 911 GT3 Cup. The result is a state-of-the-art sports car, perfect for the track and suitable for everyday use. Featuring Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), it is even faster than the previous 911 GT3 RS with a top speed of 318 km/h and accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds. Porsche also offers the new model with a six-speed manual transmission. The aerodynamics benefit from the brand’s vast motorsport experience and generate significantly more downforce without noticeably affecting the drag coefficient. In the Performance drive mode, the manually set wing and diffuser elements increase the aerodynamic pressure for high cornering speeds. During final testing, the new 911 GT3 lapped the Nuerburgring-Nordschleife, traditionally the ultimate proving ground for all sports cars developed by Porsche, over 17 seconds quicker than its predecessor. Development driver Lars Kern took just 6:59.927 minutes for a full 20.8-kilometre lap. The shorter 20.6-kilometre track was completed by the 911 GT3 in 6:55.2 minutes. Despite a wider body, larger wheels and additional technical features, the weight of the new GT3 is on a par with its predecessor. When equipped with a manual gearbox, the model weighs 1,418 kilograms, while the PDK version comes in at 1,435 kilograms. Lightweight components included are the front bonnet made of carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP), lightweight glass windows, light-alloy wheels and a sports exhaust system which reduces the weight by no less than ten kilograms. The combined consumption of the 911 GT3 with PDK transmission is 12.4 litres/100 km. Its racing genes are expressed in every detail of the new 911 GT3. The cockpit features a new track screen. It can reduce the digital displays to the left and right of the rev counter to essential information needed for track driving, such as tyre and oil pressure, fuel level and water temperature. It also includes a visual shift assistant with coloured bars to the left and right of the rev counter and a shift light derived from Motorsport. To meet the growing demand for individualization options, Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur offers a wide range of customized equipment for the new 911 GT3. Highlights include a lightweight roof made of exposed carbon fibre, exterior mirror tops made of carbon, darkened LED matrix main headlights and matching Exclusive design rear lights. Guards Red or Shark Blue painted wheel rims enhance the black alloy wheels. As exclusive as the 911 GT3 itself is the individual chronograph that Porsche Design offers exclusively to customers of the high-performance sports car. Its housing reflects its Motorsport genes and just like the connecting rods of the GT3 engine, it consists of robust, lightweight titanium. The timepiece is powered by an individual winding rotor reminiscent of the wheels of the 911 GT3. The coloured ring of the dial can be customised in the exterior paint of the owner’s car. Customers can order the new 911 GT3 as of 31st of March 2021. From that date, information on the basic retail price, model specifications and local availability can be obtained at the nearest Porsche Centre.

Huawei will launch all-new neckband, the HUAWEI FreeLace Pro in Kuwait

Huawei will launch its new noise cancelling neckband earphones, the HUAWEI FreeLace Pro in Kuwait. The new HUAWEI FreeLace Pro boasts an extra-long battery life of 24 hours, dual-mic active noise-cancelling feature for premium noise cancellation along with fast charging and pairing to deliver an upgraded user experience. It also inherits the colourful, stylish appearance of the previous HUAWEI FreeLace and adds improvements in sound quality. The HUAWEI FreeLace Pro will be available on Huawei’s official website and across select retailers in Kuwait starting from 24th February priced at 29.900 KWD in colour variants of Dawn White, Graphite Black, Sakura Pink and Spruce Green.

24-hour battery life and fast charge experience HUAWEI FreeLace Pro battery life sets a new standard for wireless neckband headphones. Its built-in 150mAh 3C lithium-ion polymer battery can last up to 24 hours on a single full charge. And you can use your PC, tablet or smartphone with an USB-C port to fast charge your HUAWEI FreeLace Pro any time with just five minutes charging, it could offer up to 5 hours of music playback .

Maximum 40dB ANC depth with dual-mic active noise cancellation for extra quiet These days, many people enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city. Building on the previous generation, HUAWEI FreeLace Pro includes a new ANC feature for those people. With two built-in high-sensitivity microphones, the feedforward microphone picks up the noise outside of the ear and the feedback microphone picks up the residual noise in the ear canal. And the speaker can accurately generate noise cancellation sound to eliminate noise. Unwanted noise is reduced by maximum 40dB . 3-mic Call Noise Cancellation for all-day clear call In addition to dual-mic active noise cancellation, the HUAWEI FreeLace Pro has exceptional noise cancellation capabilities for phone calls. In contrast to singlemicrophone call noise reduction, the HUAWEI FreeLace Pro employs a 3-microphone adaptive system which weakens interference from ambient noise or wind noise, retaining all the character of the human voice whilst enhancing the clarity of the call. Even if you are conducting a voice call and meeting in the noisiest environments such as the underground, by the roadside, or in strong winds, you can communicate as clearly and easily as though you were face-to-face.
