Brand New Look
In line with the Commercial Reset Strategy being undertaken by Malaysia
Airports Holdings Berhad and its subsidiaries, its retail arm, Malaysia Airports
Niaga, better known as Eraman, has undergone a rebranding exercise after
25 years in the business to improve its brand presence and awareness among
travellers. Sporting a contemporary new logo in a more vibrant shade of
purple, the rebranding promises improved customer experience through
digital and experiential marketing, changes to the staff uniform designs, a
redesigned façade for Eraman stores, expansion in outlet spaces, as well as the
rearranging of product categories for better store layout and appearance.
Performance Redefined
Mercedes-Benz Malaysia launched the latest additions
to the Mercedes-AMG family at the Sepang International
Circuit recently. Sales & Marketing Vice President Mark
Raine introduced the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S four-door
Coupé as well as the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S and C 63 S
Coupé to guests and the media. Combining racetrack
performance with excellent comfort and versatility, the GT
four-door Coupé is a true embodiment of all the qualities
that make a superb Gran Turismo machine. Sporting
powerful V8 engines and a new motorsport aesthetic,
the C 63 S variants offer redesigned drive programmes
that allow for a customisable driving experience, with
drive modes such as Comfort, Sport, Sport+, Slippery,
Individual and the exclusive new Race mode.
Stylish Timepieces
Renowned Swiss watchmaking brand Franck Muller opened its third boutique
in Singapore at Jewel Changi Airport earlier this year. Spanning a space of
over 75 square metres, the cosy boutique is elegantly and stylishly decorated
to provide ardent horologists with a sense of comfort and privacy as they
examine Franck Muller’s exquisite timepieces. Signature pieces are placed in
specially crafted showcases lining the boutique walls. Some of the collections
available here include the emblematic Vanguard, iconic Cintrée Curvex,
geometrically balanced Master Square and the Art Deco-inspired Long Island.
The store also exclusively carries the sparkling diamond Vanguard Lady.
Heroic Figure
In conjunction with the release of this year’s X-Men film
Dark Phoenix, Royal Selangor collaborated with The
Walt Disney Company Southeast Asia to create limited
edition Phoenix Arising figurines. Imbued with the cosmic
powers of the mysterious Phoenix Force, the telepathic
and telekinetic Jean Grey becomes one of the most
powerful mutants in the Marvel Universe at the cost of
struggling to hold on to her fragile psyche and humanity.
Rising dramatically with wings of flames, a total of 999
individually numbered pieces of this 1/8 pewter sculpture
were made and are available for order at any Royal
Selangor retail store and at its online store.
