RADO CELEBRATES DEEPAVALI WITH A NEW CAMPAIGN

What better way to usher in the Festival of Lights than with a campaign starring those who light up the silver screen? Rado’s latest campaign, ‘The Time is Now’, sees its movie star ambassadors, Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif, honouring the quiet brilliance of the present moment. Wearing the Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Chronograph and the Centrix Diamonds watch, respectively, the pair demonstrates the transformative art of giving with intention.

FRED TAKES A CHANCE WITH ITS STAPLE COLLECTION

One of the most revered collections at Fred has been given an infinitely romantic update. Taking the signature sideways eight shape in a new direction, the latest Chance Infinie pieces combine the motif with a ribbon with untied ends. The ultra-feminine nature of the nine fine and high jewellery creations is further accented by the brilliant-cut diamonds. Embellishing the pink and white gold designs, they complement the pear diamond at the centre of each piece.

OMEGA REOPENS ITS SURIA KLCC BOUTIQUE

Omega continues to strengthen its presence in Malaysia with the reopening of its boutique at Suria KLCC. Officially the brand’s largest in the country, the retail space features dedicated viewing zones as well as a private lounge for consultations and exclusive showings. The boutique embodies Omega’s global design concept through a blend of natural wood and striking touches of red and gold. A life-sized Golden Omega Astronaut is also present to greet incoming guests.

SWAROVSKI UNVEILS A DIWALI COLLECTION

No Deepavali celebration is complete without jewellery. That is why Swarovski has unveiled its stunning Diwali collection. Taking inspiration from the shimmering lights of diyas, the novelties here evoke the joy of dressing up. The Mesmera creations, for instance, embody the idea to perfection with their striking silhouettes and dramatic crystal clusters. Indian actress Rashmika Mandanna exhibits the beauty of the collection as she fronts the brand’s festive campaign.
