A year after Apollo's program was launched, the hunt for a time piece started; the qualifiers to the testing stage were Omega, Longines Wittnauer, Rolex and Hamilton Hamilton were the first to get disqualified for not complying with the requirements, they presented a pocket watch, and that's not what NASA was looking for The rest were put through a rigorous series of tests, of which only the Omega Speedmaster survived NASA then suggested some improvements to the Speedmaster and it was worn by Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins in 1969 on the Apollo 11 spacecraft mission. Omega managed to continue being flight qualified with the most recent Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional watch release.
Omega x Swatch More Than Just a Watch
Meanwhile, the gray market shrinks; Swatch and Omega hit a home run with the "Mission to Mars"; collection, Swatch is proudly promising accelerating supply to meet everyone's demands, but the gray market has not digested that yet.
History is usually remembered when it has an impact on a large number of individuals The high end watch market has experienced a historic, disruptive shift from time telling wrist watches to investments that trade at high premiums
The Swatch Group has successfully utilized the power of being the mother company of Swatch and Omega in a collaboration that has been very hot since its release. Watch Collectors and Fanatics have never imagined seeing endless queues in front of Swatch stores, but The Swatch Group has managed to do it!
Moralmoda Magazine Watchmaking | 28
Buyers have always outnumbered available timepieces. Rolex is expected to produce roughly 1 1 million watches per year, while Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet each produce between 65 000 and 45 000, hardly enough to please luxury watch market buyers. The pandemic's stock market/crypto bull run has created wealth to individuals that fueled the growth of alternative asset classes (luxury watches). However, with the rise of economic distress, the gray arket premiums have been slowing down and some sellers may have problems with liquidity, which may be caused due to the high correlation of Crypto currencies and the luxury watch gray market
Text by Omar AlBataineh Founder of www.watchaholics.net
Buyers queuing for hours to own The Swatch Omega Speedmaster "MISSION TO THE MOON" collection is a ticket to being a part of Omegas history in being the first watch onto the lunar surface
Demand for luxury watches has considerably outstripped supply due to a combination of lockdowns, savings, surging markets (until recently), and a larger interest in alternative assets Waiting lists have grown longer, and second hand market prices have skyrocketed.
The official programme of the President of the Republic of Madagascar Initiator of the first SEZ project outside China in Madagascar 30 years ago, Holijaona Raboana father of the concept of Emergence Madagascar remains optimistic

The World Bank and the IEM Strategic Plan
His vision and commitments are written on his instruction, initiating the process of transformation of Madagascar.
This is the basis for the realisation of major works and the setting up of infrastructures dedicated to investment. Among the major works, we note the provision of Madagascar with connecting infrastructures such as ports, airports, railway lines, highways, and in general with infrastructures for economic activities such as industries, tourism, mining and agriculture
So that foreign investors can feel at home. And that national investors can acquire international standards After the prerequisites have been put in place and the technical details related to the realisation of these major projects have been discussed, including administrative reforms, legislation and various related regulations, which are currently well underway, the President's flagship projects in the form of PPPs will transform the country into a great construction site for emergence
The Plan aims to build Madagascar for the well being of all Malagasy Emergent on the human, social, economic and environmental level, based on rational governance and boosted by the use of sustainable technologies
Thanks to its immense potential and its currently bankable programme, Madagascar will enter into an accelerated and green growth in very short time Raboana father and son, respectively President of Emergence Madagascar and President of Youth Emergence Madagascar believe down to their bones.
The international community and various economic and professional actors, political parties including the opposition, even religious congregations did not object to the content of the plan

When World Bank President David Malpass took office, his first visit was to Madagascar. During this visit, he congratulated the President's vision, which is inscribed in the IEM Strategic Plan.

But the main focus of the projects remains the Special Economic Zones. Madagascar is a large island at the gateway to Africa and the West, and on the borders of Asia This strategic position, both geographical and cultural, allows it to logically welcome technological relocation flows If an effective and innovative attractiveness policy is initiated, the basis of this attractiveness logically remains access to energy

Omega's legendary Speedmaster collection known as the CK2915 1, was first launched in 1957 It changed instantly the face of chronograph watchmaking Created for professional racing car drivers, with perfectly readability, it was also the first in the world to feature a tachymeter scale on the bezel, as opposed to on the dial This feature was ideal for timing average speeds on the track, and complemented the watch’s sturdy, highly precise and water resistant design.

Zuhair Murad
As the show progresses,in the elated interior of the Westin Paris, the very selected invited guests for this intime show are overwhelmed by sensual pirates bedecked with ornate jewels, emerging from a spectacular wreck to set off once more to conquer uncharted lands
As one of the few couture maisons to unveil a live couture show, Murad's extravagant vision of maritime explorers and skilled navigators is brought to life with numerous style accessories associated with the period And Murad tops the modern piratesse evening and cocktail looks with matching monochromatic tricorn hats. The famous tricorne arose from the evolution of the broad brimmed round hat worn by Spanish soldiers in the 17th century. VERS LES JOYAUX DU TEMPS"
The floor length dresses are so long and light that they touch the front row seated as they fly in the air after the model, and it is possible to admire up close silver embroidery on their outfits that is darkened on purpose, in striking contrast to the tangles of gold chains and pearls slung from the models' slender waists
Murad combines all this in a collection featuring a bouquet of pleated organza shirts with balloon sleeves, brocade waistcoats, midi skirts in sunray pleated lamé fabric, cascades of tulle enveloping shorts, long dresses in silk chiffon, jumpsuits, and fitted jackets in crepe cady, as well as jewels incorporated into the textiles
The collection silhouettes were perfectly fitted to a seemingly longer legged cast than what you normally see on a Zuhair Murad couture catwalk that was enhanced by asymetric dresses, often with a dramatic thigh high slit, as in looks like draped bourgundy red and a strapless black velvet gown, with sculptural neckline ruffles, a bustle, two diamond clips, and a wraparound belt around an asymmetrical bodice
The hat style became a signature look at the royal court of King Louis XIV, who made it fashionable throughout Europe, both as civilian and military dress Tricorn hats, now playfully combined with pleated organza couture looks, give the wearer a sense of regality and majesty, sending her to a world of secret hidden islands and restoring the opulence of the high seas era
Haute Couture Spring Summer 2022 "
In an all encompassing palette dominated by the aged pink of maritime dawns Front row seated guests included Heart Evangelista, who admired Murad's couture up close with the pallid red of canopies faded by sun and salt, the sand of beaches and deserts, and the rust of oxidized metals, along with traces of the blue or green of the water when it reflects the sky, brocades and embroideries bring back to life the flamboyance attenuated by the passage of time.

Henceforth, why are so few designers get invited to present officially at Paris Fashion Week. And that is exactly what Maison Georges Hobeika did, yet again In 2020, Hobeika was the only Maison to present a live haute couture show on the grounds of the Tripoli International Fair, overcoming all difficulties and regulations in the process This exhibition, which was photographed by Patrick Sawaya, was a powerful statement in and of itself, set against a powerful message of love However, familiarity can train the mind to take even the most monumental events for granted By highlighting emotion in couture, George Hobeika's woman is multifaceted, free in expression, movement, and constant metamorphosis These manifestations of bliss and ecstasy are found in radiant silhouettes, light and precious fabrics, laser cut, swirling like butterfly wings, luminous embroideries and a dazzling color palette.
