Celebrating our blue-green bauble home on Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, we feel it is appropriate to bring you the recently released MoonSwatch Mission to Earthphase, a first in terms of our planet’s appearance from space featuring as a complication in a wristwatch. It celebrates the first time that human eyes saw our planet rising on the horizon, a photograph taken by Bill Anders aboard the Apollo 8 on Christmas Eve 1968.

Without a doubt, the Swatch x Omega MoonSwatch collaboration has been one of the noted new watch series in the 2020s. It cleverly uses the design codes of Omega’s iconic Speedmaster, the first watch on the Moon, with an innovative bioceramic material in an array of colours that incorporate space mission themes.

Similar in design and colouring to the Speedmasters worn by astronauts, the Swatch x Omega MoonSwatch Mission to Earthphase on its Velcro strap.

New iterations were released in 2023 and 2024, but this year, when it came to our planet, the creatives at the Swatch…

Finally, the angry orange toddler is out of the White House and democracy has prevailed… by the skin of its teeth.

A Record-Breaking Classic

I can easily imagine the faces of bystanders when the Bentley R-Type Continental flew by them back in the early ‘50s when this icon of automotive design was first seen on the road.

In many religions, white conveys rich symbolisms, for example, innocence and sacrifice in Christianity and purity, self-mastery, and emancipation in Buddhism. In some cultures, like the Chinese, it is associated with death and commonly worn at funerals. In fashion, white always makes a statement, although […]
