The Starmus Festival is a combination of
science, art and music, and its goal is to help the general public understand
and appreciate science. As part of its partnership, OMEGA is proudly supporting the Stephen Hawking Medal for Science
Communication. The Medal recognises people who promote science through
different disciplines such as music, arts and cinema. On June 20th
this year at the Starmus Festival,
three winners will be selected from three categories including: Science
Writing; Films; and Music and Art.

OMEGA will present the winners with a brand new 18K
yellow gold OMEGA Speedmaster watch.
On the back of the watch, the brand has included a unique engraving that
mirrors the design of the actual medal itself. This includes an image of the
cosmonaut Alexei Leonov during the
first ever human spacewalk as well as the “Red
Special” guitar of Queen’s Brian May.

Raynald Aeschlimann, the President and CEO of OMEGA, spoke on
stage during the announcement and shared his views on the new partnership. “As we know in watchmaking, it’s not always
easy to communicate new innovation or complex technology. In science, I’m sure
it’s the same. That’s why we recognise the importance of the Starmus Festival. It embraces
creativity to help the general public understand and appreciate everything
about science. This partnership is something very new and different for OMEGA. But our brand has a strong history within science and we wanted to
maintain our commitment to this important area.”
