Since 2016, Frederique Constant has partnered with Academy Award winning actress and philanthropist, Gwyneth Paltrow, as its Global Charity Brand Ambassador. As part of the campaign, Gwyneth chose to align with charity organization, DonorsChoose.org, involved in supporting education for children, making it easy for anyone to help a classroom in need, whether it is through books, school supplies or funding field trips.

ALETTA STAS, Board Executive and Co-founder of FREDERIQUE CONSTANT said, “We are very happy to continue our collaboration with Gwyneth Paltrow as our Global Charity Ambassador.” “Giving back is just as important to Gwyneth as it is for us, and thanks to her and our brand’s engagement, we will continue to support DonorsChoose.org educational projects.”

Together with this, Frederique Constant and Gwyneth Paltrow joined together for an exclusive event to launch the brand’s Lady Horological Smartwatch. A group of young students from the DonorsChoose.org program was invited to participate in a “5000 steps Challenge” conducted by Gwyneth Paltrow alongside celebrity fitness trainer, Tracy Anderson. Frederique Constant was honored to contribute a donation of $50,000 to the DonorsChoose.org organization, specifically towards their movement and sports programs throughout public schools.

“I am very happy to continue my partnership with Frederique Constant and excited to unveil my latest Charity campaign for the brand,” said Gwyneth Paltrow “What’s great about Frederique Constant is their combination of classic style and strong values that I really agree with, but also they have a beautiful commitment to sharing their success by giving back. We are very well aligned in our passion for charity.”

To celebrate the partnership renewal, the Swiss watch Manufacturer unveils its new Charity Advertising Campaign, which will promote the Ladies collections of the brand moving forward.

The natural beauty of Gwyneth combined with the beauty of Frederique Constant’s Ladies timepieces result in a visually stunning advertising campaign. Frederique Constant wishes the new campaign great success, bringing further support to DonorsChoose.org projects.

Forum discusses key drivers of success in workplace & highlights ongoing efforts to improve productivity & social capital

17 August, 2016 – The Sharjah Tatweer Forum (STF) showcased the most important and currently relevant trends in enhancing professional productivity through team effort, including establishing close and strong ties between employees and creating motivating and progressive work environments during its participation in the 6^th Gulf Conference on Productivity and Leadership held recently at the Crowne Plaza in Salalah, Oman. It also highlighted the importance of diversifying resources by equipping the younger generation with the necessary skills and providing them with relevant experience to further enhance their competencies. The two-day conference was held under the patronage of H.E. Mohammed bin Sultan Al Busaidi, Oman’s Minister of State and Governor of Dhofar, and in the presence of Sheikh Khalid bin Omar bin Said al-Marhoon, Oman’s Minister of Civil Service as well as a number of VIPs, government officials, and entrepreneurs from across the region.

Jassem Albloushi, Chairman of the STF, the forum representative at the conference held under the theme ‘Distinct work relations for more productivity,’ presented a working paper entitled ’Cement and not brick.’ He extensively discussed the drivers for professional success and leadership supported by case studies of pioneers, decision-makers, and specialists from different fields. Jassem Albloushi emphasized on the importance of optimal competition and investment in enhancing social relations and work environments as a means of increasing productivity. He also discussed the negative approaches and effects of the employee evaluation systems – a key topic within the paper – on both the personal and professional life of an employee. In addition, Jassem Albloushi talked about managing talents, encouraging social intelligence and group work to increase productivity, highlighting the importance of work equality between genders, and empowering women to take on roles in leadership, management and operations.

“Productivity is considered a core element for the success of any organization. It requires efforts from various management levels and departments where the manager plays a fundamental role as he/she directs and motivates employees on the right way to enhance his/her work efficiency, boosting the corporation’s productivity. Moreover, the manager is responsible for motivating teams towards a positive competitiveness in order to build an inspiring workplace atmosphere,” said Jassem Albloushi.

“The 6^th Gulf Conference on Productivity and Leadership is a vital platform for discussing the challenges and practices in enhancing work efficiency, which is considered one of the key elements in developing work. This year’s edition concentrated on building good relations among colleagues, as it reflects positivity on work productivity and enhances competitiveness within an organization. The more communal and friendly the atmosphere is, the more efficient, effective, and productive the workers will be. Our participation falls in line with our eagerness to strengthen our relations with officials and benefit from the research and studies presented by renowned experts,” Jassem Albloushi concluded.

The conference held a panel discussion on managers’ roles in enhancing efficiency by building a positive environment and fostering trust between management and employees, which, in turn, leads to the development of respect and a sustainable work environment. It underscored the importance of managers in establishing strong workplace ties based on collaboration, cooperation, inclusiveness, and in line with over-all long-term organizational objectives.

New Delhi, 1st Aug 2015

Actress Shilpa Shetty Kundra walked the ramp for the show PRECIOSA presents designer Rimple and Harpreet Narula, collection MAHARADJAH & CO. at Amazon India Couture Week 2015. The collection was inspired by the Indian Maharajas and the nobles of that era and their lifestyle which was heavily influenced by their travels to the West, the collection is an ode to splendor and extravagance of their lives well-lived.The designer duo have used PRECIOSA crystal components in their collection. An  interesting amalgamation of couture, craft and heritage, which has created a sensational splash on the Indian fashion.

Collection Note

MAHARADJAH & CO.-Couture 2015

The splendor and glory of the erstwhile Days of the Raj is the driving force behind Rimple and Harpreet’s collection “Maharadjah & Co.” at the India Couture Week 2015 edition. Inspired by the Indian Maharajas and the nobles of that era and their lifestyle which was heavily influenced by their travels to the West, the collection is a charming reverie of humor and splendor in introspection.

Rimple and Harpreet have endeavored to capture the very beginnings of “bespoke” & “portraiture” in India by delving into the vast archives that chronicle the Maharajas and their retinues, their early interactions with western luxury and the collection is reminiscent of the vast and extraordinary commissions that were conferred by these royals on western design houses. With leitmotifs such as the “vase of plenty” the line celebrates the usage of insignias which were used by the former royals in establishing themselves as “royals” while at the same time it is a stunning homage to fine craftsmanship as well.

It is a celebration of royal opulence tempered in hues of ivory & beige, burnished golds and velveteen ruby that harks back to an era when the “Maharadjas” and “Maharanees” were the toast of  European high society- equally at ease in the royal ballrooms of Calcutta to Kapurthala as well as the chicest Parisian saloons. Scintillating hand crafted embroideries and dazzling Preciosa crystals veritably breathe life onto the surfaces of each ensemble while the theatrical larger than life silhouettes- dramatic capes and robes, sheer billowy jackets, regal cloaks and lehengas  are evocative of a bygone majestic splendor, making the collection  a tribute to an opulent era of high fashion, exotic indulgence and rich statements in regal clothing and accessories

Time is also a gift to be given. Organized by the Monaco Association against Muscular Dystrophy and its President, Luc Pettavino, Only Watch is the leading charity of the watchmaking world, bringing the most prestigious brands and manufactures together in Monaco for an auction to raise money for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

A partner of many years, Jaquet Droz reaffirms its support for this biennial initiative again in 2015. Only Watch and Jaquet Droz share the same long-term vision of excellence and research. This spirit is incarnated today in an exceptional piece, an expression of the expert techniques of the Jaquet Droz craftsmen, beginning with the historical mastery of paillonné enameling.

Handed down from the goldsmiths of the Renaissance, paillonné enameling consists of creating a raised motif using tiny pieces of gold leaf, applied one by one with great dexterity. This is then coupled with the particularly delicate work of enameling to obtain both the required colors and the translucent depth of the enamel to reveal the sunray decoration. In the Ateliers d’Art in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Jaquet Droz preserves this ornamental technique used close to three centuries ago. But, respect for tradition can also go hand in hand with a taste for change. As such, for the first time, Jaquet Droz combines paillonné enameling with a 43 mm diameter 18-carat yellow gold case and a deep red Grand Feu enamel on the dial of the Petite Heure Minute, one of its most emblematic models. Particularly difficult to obtain, the color becomes the symbol of a quest for perfection for the brand, known by its twin stars, and is a wink to the flag of Monaco.

This quest is not only decorative – the movement is equipped with a silicon spiral, a material whose flexibility, resistance to shocks, temperature and pressure variations, and magnetic fields guarantees perfect stability over time. It’s the first time that Jaquet Droz incorporates the material in a Petite Heure Minute. The beautiful manufacture of the movement can be admired through the crystal sapphire on the back of the watch, engraved with the reference “unique piece Only Watch 2015.” Elegant and sophisticated, this unique piece boasts a wealth of the brand’s distinctive finishes, whether it be the curve of the horns, the rolled-edge hand-made prestige alligator leather strap or even the forged ardillon buckle, itself also in 18-carat yellow gold.

Presented at the Monaco Yacht Show from September 23rd to 26th, the Only Watch Petite Heure Minute Paillonnée will then travel to Asia, America and Europe, before being presented at auction in Geneva on Saturday, November 7th. A unique occasion for connoisseurs of fine jewelry to acquire an unparalleled piece built on a noble philosophy – that of time devoted to others, for every moment to be more beautiful and be lived more fully.

Premieres December 6^th, Saturday and Sunday at 7PM

New Delhi, November 26, 2014: In a world of ready-to-eat and convenience foods, the idea of harvesting your own ingredients, eating a seasonal diet and cooking traditionally seems almost impossible. TLC presents a brand new series, NOMAD CHEF where Chef Jock Zonfrillo will celebrate the world’s native cuisines and save a treasure trove of gastronomic knowledge from extinction.

NOMAD CHEF will premiere on December 6^th and will air every Saturday and Sunday at 7PM on TLC.

Rahul Johri, Executive Vice President and General Manager – South Asia & South East Asia, Discovery Networks Asia-Pacific, said ”TLC has the distinction of bringing the best shows on cuisine featuring culinary innovators from across the world.

Back at his restaurant in Adelaide, he will pay homage to the culinary know-how and culture by reinterpreting the most inspiring elements for his diners.
