In a world where fashion trends ebb and flow, House of Surya presents Adira, a collection that transcends time, celebrating the essence of strength, heritage, and grace. This latest launch redefines contemporary luxury by blending exquisite craftsmanship with the deep-rooted traditions of handwoven artistry. More than a mere collection, Adira is a narrative-an homage to the resilience of generations, the quiet power of femininity, and the enduring beauty of heritage.

Adira Collection at House of Surya

A Legacy Woven in Every Thread

At the heart of Adira lies an unwavering commitment to preserving tradition while embracing modernity. Every drape tells a story-of artisans who have honed their craft for centuries, of mothers passing down heirlooms to daughters, and of the modern woman who honours her roots while carving her own path. Each saree in this collection is not just an ensemble but a living testament to legacy and resilience.

The collection’s hallmark is its intricate handwoven textiles, crafted using time-honoured techniques that elevate every piece to an heirloom. The artistry of skilled weavers breathes life into each design, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike. From the softest silks to the most intricate Zari work, Adira represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship-where every motif carries the whispers of the past and the strength of the present.

Adira Collection at House of Surya

The Magnolia Motif: A Symbol of Strength and Grace

Central to the collection is the Magnolia motif, an emblem of timeless resilience and beauty. Chosen for its significance, the Magnolia flower symbolizes strength wrapped in grace-an apt reflection of the modern woman. Whether delicately embroidered onto flowing silk or woven into the very fabric of the saree, the Magnolia motif serves as a poetic reminder that elegance is not just in appearance but in the quiet fortitude that defines true femininity.

In Adira, the motif seamlessly intertwines with age-old weaving techniques, presenting a collection that is both rooted in tradition and refreshingly contemporary. The Magnolia’s presence across the collection celebrates the woman who walks with the wisdom of the past yet strides forward with unyielding confidence.

A Tribute to the Modern Woman

The name Adira, meaning bold yet graceful, is a tribute to the essence of modern femininity-fearless, resilient, and effortlessly elegant. The collection honours women who carry their heritage with pride while embracing their own unique journey. Each saree is designed to empower, serving as a reminder that strength and beauty are not opposing forces but rather harmonious elements that define today’s woman.

The Adira campaign is a visual and poetic exploration of this ethos. Through evocative imagery and storytelling, the collection bridges past and present, portraying sarees not just as garments but as symbols of empowerment. Whether it is the timeless elegance of a bride wearing her mother’s drape or the quiet confidence of a woman embracing her own identity, every frame captures the soul of Adira.

Beyond Fashion: An Heirloom of Empowerment

House of Surya has long been synonymous with preserving and celebrating Indian textile heritage. With Adira, the brand takes this mission further, emphasizing the importance of sustainability and ethical artisanship. Each saree is meticulously crafted by artisans whose skills have been passed down through generations, ensuring that these traditions continue to thrive in an evolving world.

By investing in handwoven textiles, Adira not only honours the legacy of skilled weavers but also encourages a conscious appreciation for slow fashion. These are not garments meant for fleeting trends-they are heirlooms, meant to be cherished and passed down, carrying stories from one generation to the next.

The House of Surya Experience

The launch of Adira is more than just a collection unveiling-it is an invitation to experience the magic of tradition reimagined. The House of Surya welcomes patrons to explore the collection through an immersive showcase, where the artistry behind each piece is brought to life. From live demonstrations of weaving techniques to intimate storytelling sessions, the event seeks to forge a deeper connection between the wearer and the weaver, between the past and the present.

For those who appreciate fashion as more than an aesthetic choice but as an expression of identity, Adira offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history. With each drape, the collection affirms that strength and elegance are not just attributes-they are legacies, woven into every thread.

As the modern woman steps forward, she does so with the grace of generations behind her. Adira is not just a collection; it is a movement-one that honours the power of heritage, the resilience of tradition, and the enduring elegance of the women who wear it.

At the close of the conference, it was clear that this was more than a day long event of learning – it is hopefully the beginning of a collective movement to prioritise the safety of all children in our care.”

Amar Seva Sangam, a pioneering organization dedicated to the empowerment of differently-abled individuals, extended its heartfelt gratitude to the Honorable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, M.K. Stalin, for his visionary announcement to integrate differently-abled persons into municipal corporations across the state. This decisive move reflects the government’s commitment to fostering an inclusive society that embraces diversity and equal opportunity.

(L-R) S Ramakrishnan, President and S Sankara Raman, Secretary of Amar Seva Sangam

A Progressive Step Toward Economic Empowerment

Amar Seva Sangam hailed Chief Minister M.K. Stalin’s landmark announcement on Inclusive Political Empowerment which marks a significant milestone for individuals with disabilities in Tamil Nadu. This innovative initiative makes Tamil Nadu the first state in India to politically empower people with disabilities.

The Chief Ministers decision to nominate representatives with disabilities for local bodies such as panchayats, municipalities, and corporations is truly inspiring and a welcome response to a long-standing aspiration of the disability community. This transformative step promises to significantly enhance the equality of opportunity, foster active participation, and drive the empowerment and inclusion of persons with disabilities across the State.

The representatives of persons with disabilities in Tamil Nadu welcomed the Chief Minister’s recent directive aimed at fostering social inclusion through the creation of dedicated positions for differently-abled individuals within municipal corporations. This Progressive policy transcends municipal administration and serves as a beacon of hope to other sectors, encouraging them to embrace inclusivity. It is a powerful reminder that when a government’s policy uplifts all its citizens, it unlocks a wealth of potential that benefits everyone. With a single focussed commitment, together, they can build a brighter and more inclusive future for all in Tamil Nadu. By harnessing their diverse abilities, they can drive significant socio-economic progress, fostering a society where everyone has an opportunity to thrive.

As representatives in local bodies, the persons with disabilities in Tamil Nadu can make a significant positive impact by bringing the full potential of individuals with disabilities to society. Inclusive policies for all can promote universal designs for accessibility and foster a win-win situation for persons with disabilities and society at large.

Addressing the Need with Hard Data

According to the 2011 Census, Tamil Nadu is home to approximately 1,179,963 differently-abled individuals accounting for nearly 1.6% of the state’s population. By 2022, the estimated population of persons with disabilities in Tamil Nadu, based on the growth rate since the 2011 Census, is projected to be around 1,327,533 individuals. These figures highlight the importance of policies aimed at accommodating and uplifting this critical segment of society.

With such a vast pool of talent, the governments decision to recognize the potential of these individuals will ensure their contributions to societal development. Local bodies and corporations, central to local governance, will particularly benefit from the diverse skills and perspectives of differently-abled employees, ultimately enhancing their public service delivery, leadership endorsements and future Collaborations.

Expressing his deep appreciation in response to the initiative, Mr. S. Ramakrishnan, President of Amar Seva Sangam, said, “This initiative by the Honorable Chief Minister is a monumental step towards building an inclusive society. Political empowerment is a critical factor in empowering differently-abled individuals, and this decision opens new avenues for their active participation in community development.“

Mr. S. Sankara Raman, Secretary of Amar Seva Sangam, said, “We are elated by the state’s unwavering commitment to inclusivity. This move not only offers opportunities in policymaking and governance but also makes us part of responsible citizens for the development and growth of society. This path-breaking move of our honourable Chief Minister also dismantles societal stereotypes that have long hindered the differently-abled community. We are eager to support the government in ensuring that the implementation is effective and that every differently abled gets the necessary opportunity.”

In 1965, the OMEGA Speedmaster was the only watch to pass the tests of the American space agency NASA. That was exactly sixty years ago, on March 1, 1965. As part of the development of the American space program, NASA required a watch that was reliable, precise, easy to read, and easy to use for its space missions. The objective: to have a qualified timepiece for all future manned space flights, amidst the race to conquer the moon.

MOONSWATCH 1965

As a government agency, NASA was obliged to issue a formal call for tenders, requesting “RFPs” (Request for Proposal) from watch manufacturers. The U.S. space agency required series models. OMEGA submitted its Speedmaster model (ST105.003 from 1964), Longines proposed its Wittnauer 235T model and the ….X brand sent its reference 6238. NASA then tested these chronographs through 11 successive trials, following rigorous criteria specially designed for the occasion by the U.S. space agency. Of the three timepieces tested, only one was awarded the prestigious flight qualification for all NASA manned space missions and extravehicular activities on March 1, 1965: the OMEGA Speedmaster. The new MOONSWATCH 1965 pays tribute to the unique watch and the flight qualification by NASA six decades ago.

NASA testers preferred and recommended the OMEGA Speedmaster for its “superior precision, reliability, legibility and ease of use” over the other models. The flight qualification awarded to OMEGA soon became a reality. Three months after the tests and during the “Gemini IV” mission, on June 3, Ed White ventured more than 20 minutes outside the spacecraft with the OMEGA Speedmaster on his wrist.

The MOONSWATCH 1965 bears all the visual hallmarks of the Speedmaster tested sixty years ago by NASA. The OMEGA logo used at that time (also present on the strap and crown), the hands and the typeface of the inscriptions all echo the style of the original watch, giving its modern version an appealing vintage feel. But the watch holds even more surprises. The dial, for example, is another nod to the immaculate, white-dialed OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional launched in March 2024 (310.30.42.50.04.001)

The two counters at 10 and 2 o’clock on the new MOONSWATCH 1965 are also new. The first indicates the number 19 (normally 60) at the top, while the other displays the number 65 (normally 10), referencing the year 1965.

To this end, the chronograph counters have been modified to total:

Counter at 10 o’clock: 19 hours

Counter at 2 o’clock: 65 minutes

In this way, 19 and 65 are highlighted on the dial, making it possible to read 1965, as well as 60 at the small second at 6 o’clock (which remains unchanged). The chronograph reading is a little different, as the counter first totals 65 minutes and only after the hours. More specifically, the hands of both counters operate as follows:

• The 10 o’clock counter (19 hours) and the 2 o’clock counter (65 minutes) make a “lap of honor” at the end of the 64th minute.

• The 10 o’clock counter rotates once and displays 1 hour (or rather, one hour more).

• The 2 o’clock counter rotates once and displays the 5th minute.

In this way, and without restarting the 2 o’clock (minute) counter at zero, the time can be read normally by adding up the hours and minutes. This animation repeats every 65 minutes, with both hands performing the movement simultaneously.

The counters also display the year 1965 and the 60th anniversary of the NASA flight qualification. The number “19” appears on the counter at 10 o’clock, the number “65” on the counter at 2 o’clock and the number “60” on the counter at 6 o’clock, which are also visible under UV light. The hands and hour markers are coated with Grade A Super-LumiNova for optimal visibility in the dark.

The MOONSWATCH 1965 features its mission statement on the case back and the OMEGA X SWATCH logos on the dial and crown. A gray VELCRO strap, suitable for space suits, completes the astronaut chic style, and features contrast stitching that matches the color of the case and strap. The main features of the original OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch are still present: the asymmetrical case, the famous tachymeter scale with dot over ninety and the distinctive Speedmaster counters. Like all Bioceramic MOONSWATCH models, this new watch features a chronograph function. The non-limited “1965”, like all the watches in the OMEGA X SWATCH collaboration, is made of Swatch’s patented Bioceramic material, a unique blend of two-thirds ceramic and one-third biosourced materials derived from castor oil.

The new model in the Bioceramic MOONSWATCH Collection is available from March 1 (the date NASA qualified the Speedmaster back in 1965) only in selected Swatch stores worldwide. As with the entire Bioceramic MOONSWATCH Collection, only one watch can be purchased per person, per day and per Swatch store.

NASA’s eleven successive tests

NASA demanded a great deal from the watches tested, in order to qualify them and send them on manned space missions. Reliability was paramount during the 11 successive tests it put the chronographs of three different brands through. The prerequisite was a precision of 5 seconds over 24 hours, ideally within a range of +/- 2 seconds per 24 hours. The watches needed to feature a stop function, be easy to read, and antimagnetic.

1. High temperature test: 70C for 48 hours, then 93C for 30 minutes in a partial vacuum.

2. Low temperature test: -18C for 4 hours.

3. Vacuum test: heated in a vacuum chamber and then cooled to -18C for several cycles.

4. Humidity test: ten 24-hour cycles in >95% humidity with temperatures ranging from 25C to 70C.

5. Corrosion test: in an atmosphere of oxygen at 70C for 48 hours.

6. Shock resistance test: six 40 G shocks in six different directions.

7. Acceleration test: progressive acceleration to 7.25 G for about five minutes and then to 16 G for 30 seconds in three axes.

8. Low pressure test: pressure of 10-6 atmospheres at 70C for 90 minutes, then at 93C for 30 minutes.

9. High pressure test: in an air pressure of 1.6 atmospheres for 60 minutes.

10. Vibration test: random vibrations in three axes between 5 and 2,000 Hz with an acceleration of 8.8 G.

11. Sound test: 130 decibels at frequencies from 40 to 10,000 Hz for 30 minutes.
