Ressence Honors UAE's Landscape with A Sand-Filled TYPE 9 S75 Limited Edition
Summary
To celebrate UAE luxury retailerAhmed Seddiqi's 75th anniversary,Ressencehas unveiled a striking limited-edition timepiece: the TYPE 9 S75. Limited to just 20 pieces, this unique watch features a dial embedded with real sand. The sand is sourced equally from the dunes of all seven Emirates, bringing the desert landscape to life within a fully functional mechanical design. The result is a tactile tribute that marries heritage with innovation, all without compromising Ressence's signature visual language.

The timepiece is visually pared down, displaying only hours and minutes with understated precision. Classic horological elements – titanium-circled markers, fluid lugs and a bezel that doubles as the minute indicator – complement the minimalist form. Inside, a patented ROCS 9 module powers the functions via a customized automatic caliber, delivering a 36-hour power reserve. Encased in Grade 5 titanium, the case rests on a jewel ball bearing and features inclined satellite discs bonded with UAE sand and filled with luminous green Grade A Super-LumiNova.
Priced at 19,900 CHF (approx $24,516 USD), the TYPE 9 S75 will be available exclusively throughAhmed Seddiqi.

Syngenta to Become Global Leader in Biologicals; Expanding Nature Inspired Solutions for Farmers
BASEL, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Syngenta is accelerating the rollout of its nature-inspired, science-based biological solutions, responding to rising demand for sustainable, high-performance tools that help farmers boost productivity efficiently and responsibly. It also contributes toward Syngenta's fulfilment of commitments outlined in its Sustainability Priorities. Jonathan Brown, Global Head Biologicals & Seedcare, comments: 'With our recent partnerships and acquisitions and extended manufacturing capacities, Syngenta is positioning itself as the leader in biologicals. Our scientific expertise is at the forefront of our research and development efforts to provide farmers with the next generation of biologicals, helping them transition towards more sustainable farming practices, such as regenerative agriculture.' In December 2024, the company acquired Intrinsyx Bio, a California-based start-up specializing in the development of nutrient-use efficiency products. Most recently, in early 2025, Syngenta concluded the integration of Novartis' Strains and Natural Products Collection, the repository of natural compounds and genetic strains for agricultural use. These additions will accelerate the development of biologicals, bringing new tools to the market as a sustainable complement to conventional crop protection solutions. Also in 2025, Syngenta opened a 22,000 m² biologicals facility in Orangeburg, South Carolina, in the United States, which is purpose-built to produce 16,000 tons of biostimulants annually. This new manufacturing facility complements Syngenta's existing global network of biologicals' manufacturing facilities in Brazil, Italy, India and Norway. These strategic milestones effectively enhance both Syngenta's R&D, operating out of the centers of excellence in Stein, Switzerland; Jealott's Hill, UK; Atessa, Italy; and production capacity for biologicals, facilitating Syngenta's roll out of its biologicals pipeline, with multiple candidates demonstrating strong commercial potential with projected annual sales above USD 100 million. Syngenta Biologicals posted strong Q1 2025 results, with standout performance in North America and China. The global biologicals market is growing at around 10% CAGR and is projected to reach nearly USD 20 billion by 2030, according to AgbioInvestor and Syngenta's estimate, underlining the pivotal role of biologicals in the future of sustainable farming. Derived predominantly from naturally occurring substances, biologicals offer significant potential for sustainable agriculture. The market can be categorized into three main categories: Biocontrols – Naturally derived products for managing pests, diseases, and weeds. Biostimulants – Products enhancing natural plant processes to improve abiotic stress tolerance and crop quality. Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE) products – Any substance or microorganism to improve macro- and micronutrient availability and uptake to promote growth and enhance yield. About Syngenta Syngenta is a global leader in agricultural innovation with a presence in more than 90 countries. Syngenta is focused on developing technologies and farming practices that empower farmers, so they can make the transformation required to feed the world's population while preserving our planet. Its bold scientific discoveries deliver better benefits for farmers and society on a bigger scale than ever before. Guided by its Sustainability Priorities, Syngenta is developing new technologies and solutions that support farmers to grow healthier plants in healthier soil with a higher yield.
