We were all holding our breath here in Canada, while watching Alexandre preparing to go down on the bumpy trail at the mogul skiing competition in Sochi. We knew he’s good; four years ago, he was the first Canadian to win gold in Vancouver, but will he be able to do better than the others? Yes, he did it, he won gold again!

OMEGA had the privilege to welcome Alexandre and his family at the OMEGA Pavilion in Sochi where he took a ride with Stephen Urquhart in the bobsleigh simulator, thin signed the “wall-of-fame”.

As a graphic designer, I'm fascinated by the crossroads between technology and aesthetics. Horology is one of these crafts, where art and engineering come together to produce mechanical wonders that grace the eye. WatchPaper was born from the desire to create an online tool where I can share my passion for watches.
