The MoonSwatch is finally available to buy online in the UK
It's only taken forever, but the MoonSwatch is finally up for grabs online in the UK. No more visiting your local Swatch store, hoping they'll have the model you want in stock. No more asking your aunt in Barcelona to pick one up. Now, you just click, pay, and wait for the postman. This move has been a long time coming, especially after Swatch started selling the MoonSwatch online in the US and China back in September. It really is great news for people who want a MoonSwatch (which, in our opinion, is one of the best watches you can buy if you're on a budget) but can't get to a Swatch store. You can order four of the most popular models: Mission to Earth (green), Mission to the Sun (yellow), Mission to Mars (red) and the iconic Mission to the Moon (grey). Yes, they're still plastic. Yes, they're still quartz. But it's the same playful Bioceramic cases and colourful dials that made these watches a cult classic. If you're more into diving than daydreaming about space, Swatch has also added three of its Swatch x Blancpain Scuba Fifty Fathoms to the mix. These are the colourful homages to Blancpain's legendary diver. The models available online are the Atlantic Ocean (blue), Pacific Ocean (yellow), and Indian Ocean (mint green). You can find the MoonSwatch models available now on Swatch's website priced at £240. The Scuba Fifty Fathoms models are also available now on Swatch's website, priced at £350. Liked this?

‘Ash' Review: Deep-Space Horrors
The high-concept sci-fi horror film 'Ash,' a hazy story about an amnesiac deep-space explorer who awakens to discover her entire crew was killed, is light on answers but heavy on style. The movie begins with a staggered Riya (Eiza González) surveying the mutilated bodies on the cold minimalist floors and walls of her interstellar outpost. There is an unexplainable gash on her forehead and a robotic system alerting her to abnormal activity happening around her. She and her crew members arrived on this distant planet — a craggy world curtained by cobalt-blue shadows and white embers — in search of a potential new home for mankind, but found something far more sinister. If only she could remember what happened. Though not as adventurous, 'Ash,' from the musician-turned-director Steven Ellison, known as Flying Lotus, conjures comparisons to 'Alien' and 'Mission to Mars.' Its futuristic science: a terraforming planet, celestial alignment, parasitic beings — is equally wonky. Because the fractal script doesn't aim to provide explanations, this film can be confusing. But that incomprehensibility is part of its aesthetically alluring package. By applying psychedelic medical patches to her neck, Riya is able to channel gruesome memories in loud drips and booming drops, releasing a wave of scratchy, blurred frames recalling melted faces and stomach-churning scenes set to Flying Lotus's brooding score. When another voyager (Aaron Paul) arrives, this incites further questions whose revelations inspire a grisly third act freak-out; the mesmerizing barrage of gore makes for a memorable display. Ash Rated R for bloody violence, gore and language. Running time: 1 hour 35 minutes. In theaters.

GovTech Awards 2025
The UAE has forged a global reputation for being one of the most innovative countries in the entire world. It has cultivated and fostered an environment that is fundamentally designed to encourage entrepreneurship, innovation, and technological breakthroughs that lead to seismic change across the UAE. The UAE became the first country in the world to appoint a dedicated Minister for AI – which only served to further illustrate how it is placing technology at the heart of its strategic roadmap and development as a nation. In recent years, the UAE has also dazzled the world with its phenomenal EXPO 2020, which is now essentially a living, breathing smart city – and its Mission to Mars and space exploits have garnered widespread acclaim. In every edition of CNME, we attempt to shed light on the incredible government entities and individuals that are driving these changes as part of their overall mission, which is to enhance the lives of every single resident and citizen that lives in the UAE. Each month, we highlight the government trailblazers that are transforming the UAE, in their bid to make the country the smartest and greatest nation on earth.
