  • Ranbir Kapoor is the new brand ambassador of TAG Heuer

    Ranbir Kapoor is the new brand ambassador of TAG Heuer

    MUMBAI: TAG Heuer has signed actor Ranbir Kapoor as a TAG Heuer brand ambassador for a long-term partnership. With this association, TAG Heuer reinforces its leadership position by becoming the only brand in the industry endorsed by two of the biggest names in Bollywood – Shah Rukh Khan & Ranbir Kapoor.

     

    TAG Heuer recently unveiled its global campaign, ‘Don’t crack under pressure’, in India.

     

     “Far more than a claim, it is a powerful mindset,” said TAG Heuer CEO Stephane Linder. “Those who know TAG Heuer may recognise the motto, a tribute to an early 90’s campaign which for many remains the most archetypal expression of TAG Heuer’s unbreakable determination. The campaign captures the mental strength of our Dream Team, athletes and partners, who reflect the values of the TAG Heuer shield. Be it Cristiano Ronaldo the perfectionist, Maria Sharapova the irresistible, Shah Rukh Khan the King of Bollywood or our latest ambassador Ranbir Kapoor the Bollywood heartthrob & youth icon of today. In India, we are proud to have two of the best names in Bollywood sporting TAG Heuer and we see a great future with them in the coming years.”

     

    “TAG Heuer has always been one of my dreams,” said Kapoor. “It started when I was really young, it was the first watch I wanted to own in my life. I remember my parents gifted it to me on my 13th birthday. So now, to be associated with the brand is really humbling for me. I really have to pinch myself to believe that I am part of the TAG Heuer family. I think TAG Heuer stands for the four principle P’s that is prestige, precision, passion and performance. I think that is something we all and especially I can identify with; the way I look at my career, my life. I believe these are very important aspects for how one should approach their life, their work and their relationships.”

     

     “While most people want to succeed in their time, a few succeed in changing their time. These exceptional individuals are called Time Changers,” said TAG Heuer marketing director Puneet Sewra. “Being a 4th generation actor from the legendary Kapoor family, there are a lot of expectations one has to match. Not only did Ranbir live up to those expectations, he also successfully managed to carve his own niche in a short span and did not crack under pressure; and that is what makes him a Time Changer. We are very proud to have Ranbir join the TAG Heuer family and we look forward to a long-term partnership with him.”

  • Oris Aquis Red Limited Edition

    Oris Aquis Red Limited Edition

    MUMBAI: A keen supporter of the Red Sea Environmental Centre’s work to protect one of the world’s top diving sites, Swiss watch  manufacturer  Oris  is  delighted  to  unveil  the  new Aquis  Red  Limited  Edition.  Dedicated  to  the  ongoing support of marine life projects, the latest addition to the Aquis collection celebrates Oris’ commitment to preserving this idyllic seawater inlet.

     

    Nestled between Africa and Asia, the Indian Ocean’s Red Sea is not only one of the world’s top diving sites but also boasts one of the planet’s most diverse ecosystems. A delicately balanced and thriving subaquatic environment that homes over 1,200 species of tropical marine life, the conservation of this lush underwater paradise is overseen by the RSEC.

     

    Oris’ new Aquis Red Limited Edition is dedicated to the important role played by the RSEC. Revamping its sportive Aquis case design with striking red accenting, Oris’ new specialist diving watch clearly displays its allegiance to the Red Sea on its numerals, second hand and the minute-scale upon its unidirectional top ring.

     

    Combatting the wetsuit compression caused by underwater pressure and the need for adjustments whilst below the surface, Oris’ safety anchor and sliding sledge clasp keep the watch attached to the wrist and easily adjustable at all times. Water- resistant to 300m and limited to only 2,000 pieces, the new Oris Aquis Red Limited Edition is presented in a special set.

    A tribute to the Red Sea’s wondrous depths and a call to arms for its preservation, this stunning timepiece is the ideal diving companion for those looking for an eye-catching aesthetic underpinned with an environmental consciousness.
