Education comes first, says the CEO of the independent Swiss watchmaker, as he gives his Nikes a solid pounding
Last week, Moser & Cie’s Edouard Meylan completed the Jungfrau Marathon 2021 with his brother, Bertrand (also the CEO of quirky watch brand, Hautlence). ‘‘That’s 42 km with 2000m ascent’’ Edouard posted on Instagram. The Swiss CEO, 44, has been working towards this feat for months, cheered on by the Moser community that follows him on social media.
The marathon was part of a fundraiser with RoomtoRead, a non-profit that is focussed on girls' education and children's literacy in Asia and Africa.
Meylan, who believes that “everything starts with education” told The Hindu Weekend in an interview earlier this month, “As the father of four kids, three of them girls, I know how important it is to bring young girls to school. But to be honest, this initiative [resonated] across the Moser organisation.”

How do you create a Christmas tree with crochet? Take notes from crochet artist Sheena Pereira, who co-founded Goa-based Crochet Collective with crocheter Sharmila Majumdar in 2025. Their artwork takes centre stage at the Where We Gather exhibit, which is part of Festivals of Goa, an ongoing exhibition hosted by the Museum of Goa. The collective’s multi-hued, 18-foot crochet Christmas tree has been put together by 25 women from across the State. “I’ve always thought of doing an installation with crochet. So, we thought of doing something throughout the year that would culminate at the year end; something that would resonate with Christmas message — peace, hope, joy, love,” explains Sheena.
