SIAR solidifies Mexico as a significant destination for the most opulent watchmaking The Salon International Alta Relojería México (SIAR) concluded its 17th edition with successful attendance and the launch of new watch novelties. A cordial atmosphere that gathers the leaders of the watchmaking industry who have witnessed the consolidation of the watch market in Mexico year after year. Three exhilarating days during which collectors, jewelers, and prestigious watch brands celebrated their shared passion for special timepieces that can only be seen and touched at SIAR. In essence, global launches, Mexican editions, and special events filled these three dynamic days, bringing together 49 luxury firms. This edition further confirms a greater influx of young enthusiasts of timepieces. Three days of pure haute horlogerie that demonstrate the watch sector's robust health despite global uncertainties. "In an environment with some economic uncertainty in important markets for watchmaking, Mexico's stability is undoubtedly good news. The response from the public and well-positioned brands was evident in this edition of SIAR, with the same attendance of end customers, jewelers, media, and influencers, all yielding positive results," stated Carlos Alonso, SIAR's General Director. Worldwide launches With 3,964 participants and over 230 accredited journalists this year, SIAR offers a comprehensive solution for presenting iconic models from renowned brands. Among these luxury houses, IWC stands out, introducing two iconic models: Pilot's Watch Timezoner Top Gun Woodland and Pilot's Watch Chronograph 41 Top Gun Mojave Desert. Other watches that made their debut at SIAR for the first time include Chopard Alpine Eagle XL Chrono Maritime Blue, Le Régulateur Louis Erard x Alain Silberstein Tourbillon (the brand's first tourbillon), Cvstos Chrono Sprint Steel/Sky Blue, Gerarld Charles Maestro 3.0 Chronograph, Maestro 2.0 Ultra-Thin, and Leica ZM11.

These include Vacheron Constantin Traditionelle Manual, Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Chronograph Calendar, Speake-Marin Academic Rouge, Backes & Strauss The Berkeley Helios, and Perrelet Turbine Titanium.

De Bethune presented Cempasúchil II, Chopard L.U.C Skull One Calavera Pop Art, Jacob & Co. Epic X Chrono Edición México, and Baume & Mercier Riviera 42 mm Limited Edition Mexico, all inspired by Mexican culture. Biver - new watch brand from Switzerland (moralmoda.com) © Biver, the watchmaking house introduced in March of this year by the genius Jean-Claude Biver and his son Pierre, chose SIAR as the destination to showcase their first creation to the public, a minute repeater with carillon. Attendees at the salon celebrated their unique piece, La Danse du Temps, inspired by Mexico's Day of the Dead. The event, which has become a reference in the world of luxury in Mexico and Latin America, welcomed Tudor, who returned after eight years with a large space displaying all their new products, including the new Pelagos FXD Chrono. SIAR welcomed brands making their first appearance, such as Longines, which showcased its latest offerings and hosted an event with the dancer Greta Elizondo, a friend of the brand. It was also the first time at the salon for Seiko, Gerald Charles, the brand founded by Gerald Genta, Leica watches, and Golden Concept, a Swedish producer of custom cases inspired by high watchmaking for Apple Watch. All of them joined the veteran brands at the salon. This year, a partnership with W Radio Mexico turned SIAR into a forum where prominent Mexican broadcasters such as Gaby Warketin, Martha Debayle, and Carlos Loret de Mola gave voice to the leaders and protagonists of the watchmaking industry. This strategic partnership turned haute horlogerie into headline news for three days. "Having W Radio has helped make watches a topic of interest to a wider audience," acknowledged Carlos Alonso. Experiences at their best One of the attractions of SIAR is the variety of experiences that brands organize to immerse visitors in the world of watchmaking. In this regard, Hublot celebrated the launch of Big Bang Unico Titanium Green Ceramic Mexico, a limited edition with a cactus strap. David Tedeschi, General Manager for Latin America & the Caribbean, the Middle East, and Africa, played host alongside Ana de la Reguera and Belinda at the party that followed the unveiling of the limited edition. Another watch that drew all the attention was the Classic Fusion High Jewellery, a unique piece presented for the first time at SIAR. Bulgari received its ambassador, actor Alejandro Spetizer, and actress Renata Notni in its private suite. As a luxury host, Fabrizio Buonamassa, Bulgari's Creative Director, also attended. Jaeger-LeCoultre transported visitors to the Atelier d'Antoine with two masterclasses led by Stéphane Belmont, the Heritage Director of the watch manufacture. Cuervo y Sobrinos invited John Hemingway, the grandson of Nobel Prize winner Ernest Hemingway, who spoke about the Historiador Hemingway Iconic collection. They also awarded the Latin Award, celebrating Latin culture, for the first time at SIAR, to actor Mauricio Ochmann. Sponsors also added exclusive experiences to the event's three days. American Express invited its Platinum and Centurion customers to engaging conversations with industry leaders present at the salon. Jean-Claude Biver, Fabrizio Buonamassa, and David Tedeschi exchanged passion and watch culture in a close-knit atmosphere. Möet Hennessy and Mercedes-Benz served as luxury sponsors, further enhancing the event's appeal.

Instead of giving in and asking for a smoke, tobacco-free alternatives can help tamp down those urges. Nicotine pouches are a great product for a night out. Most nicotine pouches come in cans, which allow users to experience nicotine satisfaction on the go. Another great option is nicotine patches, which have been around for decades as a quitting aid.

  • Konstantin Chaykin brand on the postponed Only Watch charity auction

    I The 10th Only Watch charity auction, slated to take place in Geneva this November is postponed until 2024. Below is the official statement from "Konstantin Chaykin" brand on the issue. Dear friends! On October 23 it was announced that the 10th Only Watch charity auction will be postponed until 2024. For 18 years Only Watch has been one of the key events in the watchmaking industry. Luc Pettavino manage to unite the industry’s leading brands and inspire them to create unique pieces which would not exist without this initiative. This success was possible in large part thanks to the charitable nature of the auction, raising funds for finding a cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a goal which united all participants: the brands, the watchmaking conoisseurs and the media. The ”Konstantin Chaykin” manufacture has participated in the auctions since 2017. In 2023 the Stargazer, the most complicated watch among this year’s participants, was created for the auction. It was also the most complicated wristwatch ever manufactured by “Konstantin Chaykin”, and we are very proud of it. We would like to extend our gratitude to Luc Pettavino for the inspiration and we hope his important charity initiative will return next year."

  • Dubai Autodrome accelerates its sustainability efforts

    I DUBAI AUTODROME ELIMINATES THE EQUIVALENT OF 965 TRUCKS IN CO2 EMISSIONS AS IT ACCELERATES SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS In its first full year of operations, the venue eliminated 4,544 metric tons of CO2 emissions through its state-of-the-art solar panels project – coinciding with one of its busiest motorsport seasons. Almost a quarter of Dubai Autodrome’s total solar energy was put back into Dubai's electricity grid, benefiting communities across the UAE. As part of its ongoing efforts to be a sustainable venue, Dubai Autodrome eliminated 4,544 metric tons of CO2 emissions through its solar panels project in the last 12 months, while almost a quarter of its total annual unused solar energy was put back into Dubai’s electricity grid to help serve the UAE’s communities. The figure is the equivalent of the removal of 965 trucks from roads in one year or 552,844,819 smartphones being charged, with Dubai Autodrome beginning to reap the benefits since its solar project operated one year ago. Faisal Al Sahlawi, General Manager of Dubai Autodrome, said: “While motorsport is a core pillar of Dubai Autodrome’s operations, we also understand the importance of sustainability, which has become a crucial topic around the world and will gather more momentum in the coming weeks as the UAE prepares to stage COP28 next month." Faisal Al Sahlawi, adds, “clean energy systems, such as solar panels, have a vital role to play when it comes to mitigating climate change and we are pleased that the use of state-of-the-art equipment around the Dubai Autodrome has contributed to reducing a significant amount of carbon emissions in the space of one year while also being central to our day-to-day activities both on and off the track." “This is only the start of our journey. As a sport and entertainment venue, we are always exploring ways in which we can be more sustainable and we are committed to do our part in creating a better tomorrow by rolling out new measures that can help make a positive difference – both in the short, medium and long term.” Having partnered with SirajPower to install more than 5,000 solar panels around the venue, a total of 10,828,139.29 Kilowatt-Hours of power was produced, of which 2,053,820 Kilowatt-Hours was put back into public electricity systems to help meet the emirate’s power needs across various neighbourhoods. With the produced energy serving its day-to-day operations, it also powered the motorsport competitions which were held during the year. It coincided with one of Dubai Autodrome’s busiest seasons, with the flagship Hankook 24 Hours endurance race, which featured MotoGP legend, Valentino Rossi, headlining its motorsport calendar. It also included the opening rounds of the Asian Le Mans – serving as a pathway to the legendary race in France. Furthermore, Dubai Autodrome also has 13 electric vehicle chargers, with a view to installing more, while there are plans to expand its greenery, including the possibility of relocating and preserving a number of Ghaf Trees, the UAE’s national tree, to the venue in the future. Ghaf is a drought-tolerant tree, which can remain green even in harsh desert environments, and is vital for the survival of animal and plant species. This comes ahead of the UAE hosting COP28 later this year and reaffirms Dubai Autodrome’s commitment to help the government build a sustainable future and meet its net-zero commitments. The sustainability project is also contributing to the UAE’s Energy Strategy 2050, which aims to triple the contribution of renewable energy and meet the increasing demand. Completed in 2004, the Dubai Autodrome was the UAE’s first fully-integrated multipurpose motorsport and entertainment facility. At the heart of the Union Properties MotorCity development, it includes an FIA-sanctioned 5.39km circuit with six different configurations, a race school, indoor and outdoor karting tracks, the Grandstand Retail Plaza, the Motorsport Business Park, and a paddock hospitality zone overlooking the track.

Instead of giving in and asking for a smoke, tobacco-free alternatives can help tamp down those urges. Nicotine pouches are a great product for a night out. Most nicotine pouches come in cans, which allow users to experience nicotine satisfaction on the go. Another great option is nicotine patches, which have been around for decades as a quitting aid. Brands like Habitrol nicotine patches come with two or three-step programs over eight or twelve weeks, gradually lowering the nicotine dose after some time. all images © Read our Summer Issue See Haute couture from Dior, Alexis Mabille, Georges Hobeika, Zuhair Murad, Valentino and more Explore Moralmoda Art Culture Lifestyle Travel Business Interviews Events ​ Get in touch About us Contacts Subscribe

  • CORUM blends ceramic and gold in a new collection

    I In its ADMIRAL COLLECTION, TAKING INSPIRATION FROM THE MARITIME WORLD, CORUM unveils an exquisite timepiece that seamlessly marries ceramic and 18K 5N gold. All images courtesy of CORUM Swiss watchmaker CORUM, known for its rich history in Fine Watchmaking since 1955, has once again ventured into uncharted waters to bring innovation and elegance to its iconic Admiral collection. The brand’s latest endeavor involves incorporating ceramics into its Admiral timepieces, drawing inspiration from the ever-fascinating maritime world. Ceramic has long been a trusted companion in the maritime realm due to its exceptional properties. It has been widely used in various nautical applications, such as protecting boat surfaces from the corrosive effects of saltwater and preventing hull fouling caused by the accumulation of algae and shells. In addition to these protective attributes, ceramic proves to be an environmentally friendly choice compared to traditional products. Transcending its maritime roots, ceramic has found a home in the world of high-end watchmaking, offering a plethora of advantages. Beyond its striking aesthetic appeal, characterized by deep and enduring black and white hues, ceramic boasts a unique tactile softness. Comprising aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and zirconium oxide (ZrO2), this material is notably lighter, approximately 20-25%, than the industry-standard 316L steel alloy. Furthermore, its high hardness level makes it exceptionally scratch-resistant and resistant to oxidation. For these reasons CORUM, is proud to embrace ceramic in its latest offering—the Admiral 42 Ceramic collection. This collection exudes sophistication with the Ceramic & Gold models, showcasing the harmonious fusion of classic luxury and cutting-edge technology. But that’s not all; CORUM has taken a bold and unconventional step by introducing two models featuring a tribute to the vibrant and dynamic urban culture found at the world’s busiest ports. Touch of Nobility and Maritime Excellence In a daring blend of materials, CORUM unveils an exquisite timepiece that seamlessly marries ceramic and 18K 5N gold. This poetic creation not only showcases CORUM’s audacity but also brings a touch of nobility to the wrist. Available in two stunning variations with either a black or white case and matching vulcanized rubber strap, this exceptional timepiece is designed to make a statement. The gold-colored accents adorning the indexes and hands add an unmistakable touch of elegance, creating a visual masterpiece that is sure to captivate watch enthusiasts worldwide. But a watch designed for sailing must also excel in water resistance, and CORUM’s ceramic models do not disappoint. These remarkable timepieces are water-resistant to a depth of 50 meters, ensuring they can withstand the rigors of maritime adventures. Embodying the brand’s maritime spirit, the indexes on this watch feature the iconic nautical pennants that are unique to the Admiral collection, paying homage to the world of seafaring. Artistic Expression Meets Horological Innovation Drawing inspiration from the vibrant and colorful world of bustling seaports, where graffiti thrives as a form of artistic expression, CORUM introduces two captivating additions to the Admiral 42 family. The first of these extraordinary creations is the Admiral 42 “TAG,” available in an exclusive limited edition of just 50 pieces. This timepiece boasts a stealthy, full-black look, featuring a sand-blasted ceramic case and a sleek black NATO strap. However, the true magic of the CORUM “TAG” edition unfolds at nightfall, as the discreetly placed CORUM TAG logo on the dial reveals itself in luminescent splendor. By day, it remains virtually invisible, only to surprise and delight in the dim light of evening, making it the perfect companion for stylish nocturnal adventures. The second model in the collection, crafted in white ceramic, takes a bolder approach to design. Indexes and hands are playfully adorned with multicolored paint, bearing the artistic traces of fresh inspiration. This watch is a canvas of creativity and a testament to CORUM’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of traditional watchmaking. It embraces the imperfections of art, turning them into a unique and eye-catching statement. The heart of these exceptional timepieces beat with the precision of the C0 395 automatic movement, offering 40 hours of power reserve. With a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, this watch keeps time with unrivaled accuracy. The crowning achievement is its sapphire crystal case back, allowing a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate mechanics of the movement—a true testament to CORUM’s commitment to craftsmanship and innovation. The Admiral 42 Ceramic collection combines the brand’s rich heritage with innovation, bringing to life a range of timepieces that are not only stylish but also ruggedly resilient. This collection reaffirms CORUM’s commitment to pushing boundaries and redefining the horological landscape. ADDITIONNAL INFORMATION Admiral 42 Ceramic (ref.

  • Louis Vuitton becomes the Title Partner of the Louis Vuitton 37th America’s Cup

    I LOUIS VUITTON AND THE 37th AMERICA'S CUP Louis Vuitton becomes the Title Partner of the Louis Vuitton 37th America’s Cup Barcelona and returns to organise its legendary qualifying stages, the Louis Vuitton Cup. Louis Vuitton announces today its return to the America’s Cup as the Title Partner of this 37th edition, thus renewing its promise of a legendary journey. An inexhaustible source of inspiration, the sea has always been where the greatest legends are born. A new page in that history opens in Barcelona beginning on Thursday 29th August 2024 through to Monday 7th October where the five Challengers of the Louis Vuitton Cup regatta – Ineos Britannia, Alinghi Red Bull Racing, Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli, NYYC American Magic and Orient Express Racing – are eager to face off with the Defender, Emirates Team New Zealand, at the 37th edition of the Louis Vuitton America’s Cup match. WATCH VIDEO Prestige, innovation, and performance since the Louis Vuitton Cup was founded in 1983. Louis Vuitton joins the America’s Cup to celebrate the meeting of two worlds: where the art of sailing mingles with refinement, where adventure is inextricable from elegance, and where innovation opens new horizons. The two institutions share the same innovative vision combining performance improvement with the observance of centuries-old traditions. Both take the same approaches in areas such as 3D design and in combining sustainable, lightweight materials, whether in crafting Trophy Trunks or the foils which enable the AC40 and AC75 to glide ever more rapidly through the water. Based on the strength of this vision, the French Maison will pick up the story which began in 1983 from where it left off, crafting the Louis Vuitton Cup trophy and two unprecedented Trophy Trunks for the Louis Vuitton Cup and the Louis Vuitton 37th America’s Cup. The trunks will be made bespoke at the historical Louis Vuitton atelier in Asnières to respectively carry two trophies: the Auld Mug – the silver ewer awarded to the winner of the America’s Cup since 1851, considered the oldest international sports trophy in the world – and the Louis Vuitton Cup, a trophy created on the Maison’s initiative that has been presented to the winner of the eponymous competition since 1983. Once again, the ‘Challenger’ who holds the Louis Vuitton Cup will get the opportunity to take to the Mediterranean waters to defy the ‘Defender’, winner of the previous edition: this year, the Emirates Team New Zealand. “It’s with an immense sense of pride that we return to this historical competition as Title Partner. Port Vell of Barcelona will be the setting for a display of elegance and power, where teams will compete with boldness, talent and mastery on increasingly innovative yachts. These values equally reflect the spirit of Louis Vuitton and its artisans.,” states Pietro Beccari, President and Chief Executive Officer of Louis Vuitton. Crafting a legendary journey through time Louis Vuitton has been fuelling the legends of the America’s Cup for 40 years, from the United States to Australia to Bermuda, Hong Kong, Dubai, France and Spain: the legends of a centuries-old competition with fascinating codes, of its much-reinvented racing formats, of exceptional sailors and artisans, and of memorable performances all over the globe. Founded just a few years apart – the America’s Cup in 1851 and Louis Vuitton in 1854 –, the two institutions have tracked parallel courses for 130 years. In 1983, their paths crossed when Louis Vuitton offered to award a dedicated trophy for a face-off between the Defender of the competition and the ‘Challengers’. Louis Vuitton went on, year after year, to considerably improve the visibility and prestige of the America’s Cup. “We are working every day to make the Louis Vuitton 37th America’s Cup in Barcelona the most exceptional ever. By bringing its name and its spirit to the event, Louis Vuitton is once again part of our pursuit of excellence,” states Grant Dalton, CEO of the America’s Cup Event. The last of three Preliminary Regattas, the Youth & Puig Women's America's Cup, the Louis Vuitton Cup, and the Louis Vuitton 37th America's Cup will take place from the end of August to the end of October 2024. Since 1854, Louis Vuitton has been offering unique creations combining technical innovation with exacting style, striving for the greatest quality in the respect of biodiversity. The Maison remains loyal to the spirit of its founder, Louis, who invented the ‘Art of Travel’. His luggage, bags and accessories were both elegant and ingenious. Boldness still sets the pace for the history of Louis Vuitton today. In keeping with its heritage, the Maison opens its doors to architects, artists and designers while investing in new fields of expression such as ready-to-wear, shoes, accessories, watches, jewellery, and perfume. These products are made with great care, demonstrating the Louis Vuitton commitment to high-quality craftsmanship.
