HUBLOT LAUNCHES TWO NFTs WITH TAKASHI MURAKAMI

Hublot and Takashi Murakami are pushing back the boundaries of artistic expression by presenting two NFT digital works. These are inspired by the Hublot Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami All Black and the Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami Sapphire Rainbow, the first two watches launched jointly by the Swiss watchmaker and the great Japanese artist in 2021. These two limited editions of 200 and 100 pieces respectively were sold out in just a few days.

This new phase in the artistic collaboration developed with Takashi Murakami is in the form of two static NFTs featuring the smiling flower with its mischievous smile, the iconic theme of Murakami’s work and his Superflat artistic movement. The first NFT based on the All Black version, is a limited edition of 216, while the second, which will recreate the colours of the highly exclusive Sapphire Rainbow version, will be a limited edition of 108. These NFT digital works are mainly intended for the current owners of these two limited-edition watches, to whom they will be offered under certain conditions explained under (Hublot.com). The current owners of these watches shall actively claim the NFT as from 1st April 2022 and no later than 25th April 2022. If they claim and wish, these watch owners may then receive their free NFT in their eWallet. In May, Hublot will then open a page on a decentralised non-fungible token marketplace, where owners may exchange their NFTs.

The launch of the Hublot Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami NFTs will be supported by a very arty promotional campaign, based on the principles of guerrilla marketing. After being presented at Watches & Wonders, the watchmaking fair in Geneva, posters will go up secretively in London and New York and giant light projections will illuminate iconic buildings.

A limited number of these NFT’s will be available to the public in May 2022. Stay tuned !

MAKE UP FOR EVER PRESENTS HD SKIN THE NEW IMPERCEPTIBLE FOUNDATION

Since its creation in 2008, the HD Skin foundation has pushed the limits of its complexion expertise even further: after years of research and collaboration with makeup artists, Make Up Forever has developed one with an even more long lasting and imperceptible new formula. It gives, thanks to its new ultra-light formula, a natural complexion, without imperfections and leaves a natural semi-matte finish on the skin.

Thanks to the very first micro-skin system that fuses with the skin, HD Skin follows the natural movements of the face for a perfect result, without cracking for 24 hours.

In addition to having an ultra-light texture that adapts to all skin types, buildable coverage and long wear, HD Skin is also waterproof, sweat-resistant and non-oxidizing.

To suit all skin tones, Make Up Forever has developed 4 shade families (light, medium, tan, deep) and 3 undertones (red, neutral and yellow). And that's not all: its formula is free of ingredients of animal origin, its packaging is recycled and biosourced and the product is made in France!

EXPOVINA, renowned for its autumn colored boats, its Wine Trophy and its spring festival Primavera, has become an institution. The company has been run for 31 years by Bruno Sauter, who took it over from his father. Bruno Sauter will celebrate his 80th birthday this year and has therefore decided to sell the company to the Aroma agency.

Aroma perpetuates the heritage with rigor, respecting tradition.

The influence of the Expovina wine fair extends far beyond Zurich. It can count on many exhibitors, loyal for many years. "It is with passion and thanks to the support of my numerous collaborators that I have piloted the Wyschiff for all these years on the waves of Lake Zurich. I have been able to make many enriching experiences. It is time to put the most Switzerland's largest consumer wine fair in new hands", says Bruno Sauter, who is passing the helm to a new generation. He found in Aroma a strategic partner. Aroma has been showcasing brands for more than 25 years and has acquired a solid experience in trade fairs.

Preserving the Soul of Expovina

Aroma has been a partner of the show for many years and will ensure the succession with a lot of know-how and good experience of this event. Lukas Meier, co-owner of Aroma, tackles the task with respect: "We will continue to develop the three brands, always with the aim of bringing real added value to visitors and exhibitors. It is important for us that the original concept, the radiance and the soul of Expovina remain unchanged".

 

Alina Schönenberger and Pascal Schlittler, two communication and sales experts, make up the new management team. Her mission is to continue the story of Expovina AG: "We are very happy to take over the reins of Expovina. Our experienced team has a strong entrepreneurial spirit and strong skills in marketing, digital and optimization of process."
