Upon entering the boutique, visitors are greeted with an abstract display of an original OMEGA starting block before being treated to an underwater view of a swimming race in progress, with sounds from the pool creating a sensory event in the boutique’s elevator.

The second floor of the boutique features an immersive experience for visitors to learn about OMEGA’s role as Official Timekeeper, through an array of unique installations that tell the story of their 89 year long history of timekeeping. One such installation is the Vintage Timepiece Exhibition, which includes one of the first starting pistols used by OMEGA.

There are also a few eye-catching moments for customers beyond the boutique too. These athlete-inspired surprises will be seen throughout the district, as OMEGA highlights its passion for sport in a truly fun way.

The activation will run through until August 29th in Miami Design District’s Jungle Plaza, giving visitors front row access to this exciting moment in Olympic Games history.
