Riccardo Tisci presents Givenchy Seventeen, first in new watch series

Riccardo Tisci presents Givenchy Seventeen, described as the first in an upcoming series of new Givenchy watches.
Each style in the timepiece collection is named after a prime number. Mysterious yet powerful, prime numbers reflect the aesthetic of the Givenchy world.
The first watch to be introduced refers to Riccardo Tisci’s lucky number. Givenchy Seventeen shows bold architectural lines with strong graphic elements. But its sophisticated details and soft structure makes it a unisex watch playing with the masculine and the feminine. The duality of soft and hard elements and the contrast of a curved edge create a dynamic balance and a unique design.
Made from stainless steel and sapphire glass housing a Swiss made quartz movement, Givenchy Seventeen features gold plated details on the crown and the buckle together with luminescent vintage-looking indexes. As much about versatility as quality, each watch comes with interchangeable straps: A leather version with raw edges and a nylon gros grain NATO version.
Available in six color combinations of various cases and dials including black, anthracite, red, green, steel and gold, Givenchy Seventeen will be exclusively sold in selected specialty stores and Givenchy shops around the world.

LuLu marks Founding Day with ‘Made in Saudi’ campaign

The Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources honored LuLu Hypermarket in recognition of its pivotal role as the exclusive retail partner of the “Najoud Bikhairna 2026” initiative, commending its continued efforts in supporting and empowering national industries while showcasing the quality and competitiveness of locally manufactured products.

The initiative, led by the ministry in partnership with the Saudi Export Development Authority, represented by the Made in Saudi program, stands as a pioneering model of public-private sector collaboration in activating community-driven initiatives with sustainable impact. Through this program, more than 280,000 Saudi-made products were distributed to 10,000 families across various regions of the Kingdom during the holy month of Ramadan, reinforcing the presence of national products and strengthening the values of social solidarity among individuals and institutions alike.
The ministry’s recognition of LuLu Hypermarket coincided with the official launch of its Saudi Founding Day celebrations at the Dharat Laban branch in Riyadh, marked by the unveiling of a comprehensive promotional campaign dedicated to Saudi-made products. On this occasion, a wide range of special offers was introduced on local products, available across all LuLu Hypermarket branches throughout the Kingdom.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by Mohammed bin Dayel, general supervisor of the Made in Saudi program at the Saudi Export Development Authority, and Mohamed Haris, director of LuLu Saudi Arabia, alongside members of LuLu’s executive management team. The event featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially open the specially designed Founding Day gateway.
Following the inauguration, guests toured several dedicated zones and exhibitions highlighting national products. The tour commenced at the grocery and “Made in Saudi” consumer goods sections, showcasing the diversity and quality of local brands. It also included the “Made in Saudi” dates pavilion, presenting a premium selection of the finest locally sourced dates in celebration of one of the Kingdom’s most iconic national symbols.
The visit continued to the fruits and vegetables section under the theme “From Our Land,” featuring an exceptional assortment of Saudi agricultural products, reflecting the richness and excellence of the local agricultural sector. Guests also explored the LuLu private label corner, which features products exclusively manufactured within the Kingdom for LuLu, reaffirming the company’s commitment to supporting local manufacturing.
The tour concluded with a presentation of “Made in Saudi” products within the chilled and frozen categories, underscoring the rapid growth and qualitative advancement of the Kingdom’s food manufacturing sector, and further reinforcing the strong market position and competitiveness of Saudi products.
