<p>Under the EXHIBITION+ hybrid mode, the physical fair will run from 5 to 9 September at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). Salon de TE will open its doors to both industry buyers and the public on the final two days (8 and 9 September). From 29 August to 16 September, exhibitors and buyers from across the world can engage in online and offline meetings through the AI-powered Click2Match smart business-matching platform.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Globally significant fair</h3>



<p>According to Sophia Chong, HKTDC Deputy Executive Director, the globally renowned Hong Kong Watch &amp; Clock Fair has consistently served as an effective platform for the industry to secure orders and establish business connections. This is especially the case given the fact that Hong Kong remains the world’s largest wristwatch import market and the second-largest wristwatch export market, following Switzerland, she highlighted.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Chong also pointed out that the Hong Kong Watch &amp; Clock Fair exhibits are more diversified this year to serve changing industry needs. “This year also welcomes a first-time exhibitor from Greece and Dubai, and will feature Guangdong, Guangzhou and Taiwan pavilions, hoping to create business opportunities for the industry,” she said.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>The Hong Kong Watch &amp; Clock Fair includes several key zones. The Pageant of Eternity zone showcases OEM and ODM high-end complete watches. Other product zones cover clocks, machinery and equipment, parts and components, packaging, and trade services.</p>

Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair and Salon de TE commence


<p>Certain factors are crucial for leading a healthy and active lifestyle, and Dorelan understands that sleep is definitely one of them. That is why the Italian brand has paid great attention to creating scientifically-backed comfortable mattresses, thus drastically improving the well-being and the sleep culture of people who use a Dorelan bed.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="768" height="528" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/1.-Dorelans-premium-quality-beds.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-77212" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/1.-Dorelans-premium-quality-beds.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/1.-Dorelans-premium-quality-beds-407x280.jpg 407w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/1.-Dorelans-premium-quality-beds-200x138.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></figure></div>


<p>For this, Dorelan has gone to great lengths to ensure that each of their bedding product is only of the highest quality. Even after that, the Italian bedding brand, with more than five decades of history, continues to make improvements by introducing new materials, ergonomic designs and state-of-the-art technologies while simultaneously marrying science and art in its production process.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="768" height="512" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/2.-For-this-Dorelan-has.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-77213" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/2.-For-this-Dorelan-has.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/2.-For-this-Dorelan-has-420x280.jpg 420w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/2.-For-this-Dorelan-has-200x133.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></figure></div>


<p>Stressing on its determination to make the best beds, it only works with suppliers and people who share its passion for delivering perfection. Dorelan finds it important to impress and maintain its high standards for all its customers from different sectors such as the ones below.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Hotelier World</h3>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="768" height="512" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/3.-Hotelier-World.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-77214" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/3.-Hotelier-World.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/3.-Hotelier-World-420x280.jpg 420w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/3.-Hotelier-World-200x133.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></figure></div>


<p>Whether it is for a vacation or a business trip, people want their hotel beds to be extremely comfortable so it is not hard to believe that over 10,000 clients from the hospitality industry have opted for Dorelan beds in their hotels and other premium accommodations. Besides, a room with a high-quality bed like Dorelan’s is undoubtedly going to receive appreciation from the hotel guests.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cruise World</h3>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="768" height="577" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/4.-Cruise-World.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-77215" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/4.-Cruise-World.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/4.-Cruise-World-373x280.jpg 373w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/4.-Cruise-World-200x150.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></figure></div>


<p>Another industry that strives for luxury and convenience is the cruising world, and many cruise companies, like MSC Cruises, Costa Cruises and Ponant have also included Dorelan mattresses in their ships so that their travellers can enjoy a well-rested sleep during the voyage. In addition to the fact that Dorelan beds follow a deluxe level of cosiness, the bedding also maintains high levels of hygiene thus satisfying even the most demanding passengers on the fleet.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Sports World</h3>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="768" height="647" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/5.-Sports-World.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-77216" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/5.-Sports-World.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/5.-Sports-World-332x280.jpg 332w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/5.-Sports-World-200x168.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></figure></div>


<p>Getting a good night’s rest is even more important for sportspeople because they have to sleep well to recover their muscles and joints so that they can start the day with more energy and more ready to compete. Understanding all this and combining it with statistics that Dorelan found following discussions with athletes, players, doctors and trainers, the mattress brand is able to provide excellent beds that are ideal for sportspersons. Dorelan was chosen as the bedding supplier for the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in the Italian city of Torino.</p>

Dorelan’s premium-quality beds are trusted by different sectors including hospitality, travel and sports


<p>Dyson steps up its air purifier game with its new Dyson HEPA Big+Quiet Formaldehyde purifier which is more powerful and quiet than its previous creations. Built to be used in indoor spaces like offices, the new Dyson air purifier is engineered with avant-garde technologies that enable the gadget to work with high efficiency without making much noise. Below are some aspects that help the Dyson HEPA Big+Quiet Formaldehyde purifier stand out.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">High Airflow</h3>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="768" height="512" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/DY_OS_1676.jpg" alt="dyson air purifier" class="wp-image-77258" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/DY_OS_1676.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/DY_OS_1676-420x280.jpg 420w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/DY_OS_1676-200x133.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></figure></div>


<p>The Dyson HEPA Big+Quiet Formaldehyde purifier is backed by cone aerodynamics which allows the purifier to absorb and purify 90 litres of airflow per second. This is said to be twice the rate of the previous air purifiers. Simultaneously, the machine projects purified air at a 50-degree angle thus reducing any kind of resistance to the airflow.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Purified Air</h3>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="768" height="512" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/DY_OS_1579.jpg" alt="dyson air purifier" class="wp-image-77259" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/DY_OS_1579.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/DY_OS_1579-420x280.jpg 420w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/DY_OS_1579-200x133.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></figure></div>


<p>The newly launched air purifier is built with three layers of filtering technologies that ensure that the air flowing from the machine is extremely pure. These include the HEPA H13-grade particle filter, the activated carbon filter and the Dyson Selective Catalytic Oxidation (SCO) filter.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>The HEPA H13-grade particle filter plays a crucial role by absorbing 99.95 per cent of the dust and allergen particles from the air. The activated carbon filter absorbs nitrogen dioxide, VOCs and other odours that usually enter the room from the outside. Taking care of harmful chemicals like the formaldehyde molecules, that are produced by things inside the room such as wallpaper, paint, carpets and more, is the SCO filter that breaks down the formaldehyde molecules into carbon dioxide and water with the help of oxygen.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Monitoring CO2 Levels</h3>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="768" height="512" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/DY_OS_1550.jpg" alt="dyson air purifier" class="wp-image-77260" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/DY_OS_1550.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/DY_OS_1550-420x280.jpg 420w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/DY_OS_1550-200x133.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></figure></div>


<p>In addition to purifying air, the Dyson HEPA Big+Quiet Formaldehyde purifier has a feature that records and displays the carbon dioxide level of the room on an LCD screen. The output is colour-coded and the readings are displayed in green, yellow or red based on the CO2 levels. While green is considered safe, red indicates that the room needs some ventilation.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Low Noise</h3>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="768" height="512" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/DY_OS_1604.jpg" alt="dyson air purifier" class="wp-image-77261" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/DY_OS_1604.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/DY_OS_1604-420x280.jpg 420w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/DY_OS_1604-200x133.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></figure></div>


<p>Despite all these high-powered features, you will hardly hear the air purifier as it maintains a noise level of 55.6 decibels. If you are wondering how loud is 55.6 dB, then you should note that the noise from a typical office is somewhere around 60 dB to 70 dB.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>This kind of noise reduction is achieved by Dyson by adding two internal parts to the air purifier – Helmholtz cavity and labyrinth seal. The job of the Helmholtz cavity is to absorb the sound energy produced by the air purifier, while the labyrinth seal plays a role in noise reduction by reducing sound energy.</p>

<p><strong>CORE FACILITIES &amp; CROWNING AMENITIES</strong></p>



<p>An expansive 34,000-square-foot residents’ clubhouse, Club Lucca, is undoubtedly its crowning achievement.

<p>The clubhouse, which is teeming with vibrant foliage, was created to bring the natural beauty of its lush surroundings into the structure itself. The meticulous selection of building materials, such as the excellent marble floors and quality furnishings, as well as the use of colour combinations throughout the decor, give the overall design an air of contemporary and elegant style.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Other noteworthy amenities of the clubhouse include a nearly 42-meter-long outdoor garden pool that provides residents with an amazing opportunity to swim in the woods and an around 25-meter-long interior pool that sparkles with the Glass Ripple Shift Panel especially designed by Dutch designer Rive Roshan. The swimming pools are connected by a spiral staircase in which turquoise-colour hand-made ceramic tiles reflect vividly the sunlight with the shadows of the trees, forming a mesmerising picture with the dazzling waves of the pool.</p>

<p>With all four trips being non-stop long-haul flights, travellers expect unhinged comfort throughout their journey and British Airways delivers the same with its Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 jets having Club Suites in their business class cabins or as British Airways calls it, Club World.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Each Club Suite offers top-class amenities that ensure that each passenger’s trip goes beyond their satisfaction. Such features include a vanity unit with a mirror, a set of a cosy pillow and a quilt, a USB and power slots and a WIFI connection.

<p>As expected from a well-established airline like British Airways, the dining experience in the Club Suites is also guaranteed to be amazing, especially with the airline introducing four English sparkling wines to its menu. This includes Digby Fine English Brut NV, Balfour Rosé de Noirs, Simpsons Chalklands Cuvee Brut NV, and Wiston Estate Brut NV which will all be served on a rotational basis, with British Airways picking two of these four bubblies for each flight and switching the options every three months.

British Airways’ Club Suites are the perfect way to travel between Hong Kong and London


<p>Blancpain has released The Ladybird collection of feminine watches to add another fine range to its long history of ladies’ watches stretching back to 1930.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>The Ladybird Colors – lilac, peacock green, forest green, turquoise and midnight blue &#8211; feature on Roman numerals as part of the textured mother-of-pearl dial which is set with 70 diamonds. With two new small seconds and moon phase complications, by playing with colour combinations Blancpain has added a vibrancy to its collection, and variations of these colours are picked up on the straps of red or white gold models.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="500" height="700" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/web_lifestyle_3661_2954_7x10_rvb.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-76195" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/web_lifestyle_3661_2954_7x10_rvb.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/web_lifestyle_3661_2954_7x10_rvb-200x280.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></figure></div>


<p>The ultra-elegant and colourful nature of these timepieces comes with jewellery designed to bring out mechanical watchmaking at its finest. Their individuality is underlined by the offset Roman numerals which are underscored by an inner ring adorned with delicately tapering gemsetting that is also on the small seconds and moon-phase indicators. At a diameter of 34.9 mm, the case of the new Ladybird Colors models contains diamonds amounting to more than two carats. This is high-end gemsetting in which each parameter is hand-adjusted.</p>

<p>These watches tick gently to the beat of Calibre 1163 for the small seconds version and Calibre 1163L for the moon-phase iteration. Endowed with a four-day power reserve and a silicon balance spring, they are designed to keep track of daily life with a blend of accuracy, comfort and style.</p>

Resort World Sentosa’s debut Liv Golf League – A Glorious Beginning


<p>Perfectly encapsulating its tagline, “the future of Swiss watchmaking,” the pioneering horology brand Zenith has a rich history that has shaped its success today mainly due to the futuristic mindset that prevails among its watchmakers.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>In fact, the idea for Zenith’s iconic Pilot line emerged back in the late 19th century, even before the first flight, with its founder Georges Favre-Jacot’s belief that humankind would reach the sky one day. With such an outlook and dedication to aviation, the Pilot line was created as one of the first watches for pilots.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Since then Zenith has continued to hold onto this heritage while simultaneously adapting to contemporary trends to launch a series of Pilot watches through the centuries.</p>

<p>Newly added to this line is the <strong>Pilot Automatic</strong> with two renditions – stainless steel and ceramic – released at the Watches and Wonders 2023. This newly-designed timepiece is complete with a rounded 40mm case with a black opaline dial with luminescent numbers using the Super-LumiNova technology, a flat-top bezel and an angular large-sized crown.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>While the stainless steel version is vertically satin-brushed and comes with two interchangeable straps in brown calfskin leather and black cordura-effect rubber, the ceramic ones have a matte finish and are accompanied by a black Cordura-effect rubber strap and a khaki cordura-effect rubber strap. The dial also has the words pilot engraved on it, a word that was trademarked by Zenith in 1904.</p>

<p>The most notable aspect of the new Pilot Automatic is the 6’o clock mark which is replaced by the date and has a bold white dash on top of it to mimic the artificial horizon instrument seen on aeroplanes thus showing off the horologist’s aviation spirit.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Beyond its physical aspects, the watch has a winding mechanism that uses an open and blackened oscillating weight similar to the artificial horizon instrument and boasts an El Primero 3620 high-frequency manufacture movement which gives the instrument its 60-hour power reserve when it is wound fully.</p>

<p>Another equally fascinating watch in the Pilot series is the newly-released chronograph timepiece <strong>Pilot Big Date Flyback</strong> which is embedded with a newly-developed version of the El Primero 3600 calibre, the El Primero 3652 calibre which is particularly made with the pilots’ requirements in mind by including two distinctive features – the big date and the flyback function.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>With a dial that is slightly bigger than the Pilot Automatic – precisely 42.5mm, the brand dropped two versions of the Pilot Big Date Flyback also in stainless steel and ceramic. Its watch dial is an ode to the brand’s iconic El Primero Rainbow from 1997 with its bright orange minute and seconds hands and an oversized date display. Similar to the Pilot Automatic, the Big Date Flyback also come with exchangeable watch straps and has a quick-release mechanism too allowing watch wearers to effortlessly change the straps.</p>

<figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/ZENITH_DEFY-Skyline_49.9300.3620.21.I200_4x5-717x1024.png" alt="" class="wp-image-75956" width="500" height="625"/></figure></div>


<p>In addition to the Pilot collection, Zenith also launched three other unisex watches – Defy Revival Shadow, Defy Skyline Ceramic and Defy Skyline Skeleton Ceramic – as part of its DEFY Revival line at the Watches and Wonder 2023. The new pieces are a modern revival of the original DEFY model released in 1969.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>The <strong>Defy Skyline Ceramic</strong>, for instance, has a flat top bezel with an octagonal-shaped black ceramic case that gives the watch its bold appeal. The watch’s case and straps – available in rubber and ceramic – are manufactured with metals and alloys that give the watch its unhinged quality which ensures that watch wearers need not worry about scratches or the watch losing its vibrant new look.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>In terms of its technical aspects, the gadget is inbuilt with an automatic high-frequency El Primero 3620 manufacture movement and the first-ever 1/10th of a second indicator.</p>

<p>The Champion artwork in the Student category was inspired by the concept of a time capsule, and a group of enthusiastic, dream-pursuing students crafted a story to depict an imaginative future, where their future selves read letters written by themselves in the present, so as to demonstrate how the future of Hong Kong becomes better with urban planning.</p>

<p>The Open Group’s Champion is a digital artist who took inspiration from ArtLane, Henderson Land’s first urban revitalisation project Urban Art in Soho. The awardee uses point cloud, VR and other technologies to conduct a memory exploration experiment for the audience. The artwork combines original music and the sound of waves to express the concept of coexistence between man and nature.</p>

Winners of “The Henderson Land Realising Your Imagination Creative Competition” Revealed


<p>On May 15, in Shenzhen, China, the Sea World Culture &amp; Arts Center hosted the Ferretti Group Privilege Day and the Ferretti Yachts 1000 China Premiere Ceremony. The Ferretti Group, a global leader in the luxury yacht sector, showed six of its most recent deliveries to Shenzhen, China: the Riva 110&#8242; Dolcevita, the Ferretti Yachts 1000, the Ferretti Yachts 920, the Ferretti Yachts 780, and the Ferretti Yachts 670. A fleet of drones ascended into the air during the gala, creating beautiful formations above the Ferretti Yachts fleet.</p>

<p>With her extraordinary performance, seamless marriage of current technology and traditional skills, distinctive outward appearance, and roomy, opulent interiors, the new flagship of the Ferretti Yachts brand provides owners and guests with unequalled maritime enjoyment. During the acknowledgement session, top management from Ferretti Group and Speedo Marine, the Group&#8217;s sole dealer in mainland China, welcomed boat owners onto the stage and gave them beautiful bespoke gifts in gratitude for their love and support of Ferretti Group brands. In 2022, Ferretti Group became the first yacht maker to issue its shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the first Italian business to do so in the previous ten years.</p>

<p>When tea and whisky are put next to each other for comparison, the intrigued mind will easily get surprised by the many parallels that can be drawn between these two classic beverages that have a history dating back thousands of years.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>From the creative process of making a cup of tea or a barrel of whisky to tasting either of the drinks, there are many similarities between the two every step of the way.</p>

<p>Starting from the very first step of picking the raw ingredients – tea leaves are carefully handpicked with consideration to the geographical location of the plant and when it is farmed, and the barley is also treated with great attention to how and when it is dried using peat.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Such dedication and mastery that have a significant impact on the final outcome only prove that making tea or whisky needs extensive knowledge and years of experience to achieve the optimal taste for both beverages.</p>

<p>In this regard, the pioneering whisky label The Balvenie has set high standards when it comes to making whisky due to their trusted five rare crafts – barley that is homegrown in one of the few remaining malting floors, copper stills with the precise shape and size, the perfect cask and finally a whisky master who is passionate and has a high calibre of understanding and experience in this liquid gold.</p>

<p>Finally, when the final drink is in hand, both a whisky master and a tea master will appreciate their chosen drink in closely matching manners. While the tea master notes every rinse of the tea leaves as they sip, a whisky expert would note every single fill of the cask as they drink the alcoholic beverage.</p>

<p>All these matching qualities set a strong connection between tea and whisky thus making them a pair made in heaven.
