SHENZHEN, China, March 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Technology lifestyle brand Aulumu has been honored with two 2026 iF Design Award recognitions, one of the most prestigious global awards for design excellence. The awards recognize the Aulumu Geometric Case for AirPods Pro and the Aulumu Mag Buckle Ultra-Thin Strap, underscoring the brand’s commitment to combining bold industrial aesthetics with functional innovation in everyday technology accessories.

Organized by iF International Forum Design GmbH, the iF Design Award has been a globally recognized symbol of design excellence since 1954. Each year, thousands of entries from companies worldwide are evaluated by an independent panel of international design experts based on criteria such as innovation, functionality, form, and sustainability.

Winning two awards in 2026 marks a significant milestone for Aulumu, highlighting the brand’s growing influence in the global consumer electronics accessories market.

Award-Winning Product: Aulumu Geometric Case for AirPods Pro

The Aulumu Geometric Case for AirPods Pro received recognition for its distinctive industrial design and advanced protective engineering.

Inspired by a diamond-cut geometric design philosophy, the case transforms a standard earbud accessory into a visually striking lifestyle product. Sculpted surfaces and a bold polyhedral form create a futuristic aesthetic while maintaining everyday usability.

Functionality is central to the design. The case incorporates a patented seamless metal locking mechanism that prevents the lid from accidentally opening, helping protect earbuds from falling out during daily use.

To further enhance durability, the case features a multi-layer protection structure, including a high-elastic internal buffer layer and a four-corner hollow shock-absorbing outer structure designed to improve drop resistance. Additional details, such as a recycled lanyard and refined CMF (Color, Material, Finish) craftsmanship, reflect Aulumu’s focus on both sustainability and premium design.

Award-Winning Product: Aulumu Mag Buckle Ultra-Thin Strap

Aulumu’s second award-winning design, the Mag Buckle Ultra-Thin Strap, was recognized for its minimalist aesthetic and innovative fastening system.

The ultra-thin strap delivers a lightweight and modern wearable experience while maintaining durability and comfort for daily use. At the core of the design is a magnetic quick-release buckle that allows users to adjust the strap once and then easily attach or remove it with a simple magnetic connection.

For added security, the strap incorporates a Velcro-based secondary fastening structure, ensuring both convenience and stability during everyday activities.

The product reflects Aulumu’s design philosophy: blending futuristic aesthetics, intuitive usability, and refined engineering into accessories that complement modern digital lifestyles.

Agoda shows an increase in interest in destinations offering a magical ambiance during the rainy season

SINGAPORE, March 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Traveling in Indonesia during the rainy season gives travellers a refreshing break from the usual hustle, plus it’s perfect for unique adventures. Magical ambiance can be felt in the cities or destinations that offer cozy spaces, lush green landscapes, or unique culinary scenes. Agoda has unveiled its five recommended destinations for the rainy season, based on accommodation search query volume, all of which reflect an increase compared to previous year.

The rainy season has its own charm, and traveling can still be fun and exciting. Travelers can enjoy vibrant scenery, peaceful vibes, and tranquil activities like museum hopping or trying local cafes. Indonesia’s enchanting atmosphere is at its best. From tea plantations and rice fields to unique food spots, the country’s destinations offer a refreshing break.

Gede Gunawan, Senior Country Director of Agoda for Indonesia says, “The rainy season is redefining travel trends, with more explorers seeking destinations that offer unique experiences despite the weather. Indonesia’s vibrant landscapes and rich culture are drawing travellers who are eager to experience the magic of the rain. Agoda empowers these adventurers with seamless planning and unbeatable deals, making it easier than ever to explore trending hotspots and create unforgettable memories.”

Below are the trending destinations, according to Agoda, based on accommodation search queries and recommended for experiencing the best of Indonesia’s rainy season.

1. Bali- Bali has been placed at the top of the list of destinations with the highest accommodation searches and witnessing a 27% increase compared to the previous year. Travellers flock to Ubud to enjoy the tropical downpours that turn the rice terraces and jungles into vibrant and deep green wonders. You can enjoy world-class spas, yoga retreats, and boutique cafes while watching the rain fall over the forest. Travelers can also visit the many art galleries or enjoy a traditional Balinese dance performance.

2. Bandung, West Java- Bandung ranked second on the list, and registered a 27% increase in accommodation searches on Agoda. Boasting a cool climate that pairs perfectly with rain, Bandung is often called the “Paris of Java” for its colonial architecture and fashion. Bandung is also famous for its culinary scene. Savouring Batagor, Seblak, or Cuanki in the cool, misty weather should be at the top of the bucket list while traveling to Bandung. Travellers can also head to the highlands of Lembang or Dago Pakar to find restaurants with stunning valley views blanketed by fog.

3. Yogyakarta (Jogja)- Jogja has a nostalgic atmosphere during the rainy season, where the city feels slower and more poetic. Ranked third in accommodation searches with a 40% increase from previous year, Jogja offers the best attractions, many of which are also indoors or sheltered, such as the Kraton (Sultan’s Palace) and the museums. The coffee culture (Kopi Joss) is also best enjoyed while it’s raining outside. Some unique activities travellers can enjoy including taking a batik-making class or visiting the Ullen Sentalu Museum in Kaliurang, which feels very mysterious and beautiful in the rain.

4. Malang & Batu, East Java- Malang, ranked fourth on the list having a 47% increase in accommodation searches, offers a crisp, cool air that becomes even more refreshing in the rain. Batu, on the other hand, features many indoor “Theme Museums” such as Museum Angkut (Transportation Museum), Brawijaya Museum (military), and Mpu Purwa Museum (Hindu-Buddhist historical artifacts), making it an ideal destination for a rainy day.

5. Bogor, West Java- Known as “The City of Rain” (Kota Hujan), Bogor is perfectly suited for this weather. It ranks fifth on the list, with a 15% increase in accommodation searches. The Bogor Botanical Gardens look incredibly lush and refreshing after a downpour. The city is also famous for its street food like Asinan Bogor and Soto Kuning, which are perfect for rainy days. A must-do is visiting the traditional gong craftsmanship for cultural insight or simply relaxing in a villa in the Puncak area with a hot cup of local tea.

Travelers making their 2026 rainy season traveling plans are encouraged to check out Agoda’s great value deals on over 6 million holiday properties, more than 130,000 flight routes, and over 300,000 activities and experiences that are available on the platform.

HONG KONG, March 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Daybreak on the second day found the Rolex China Sea Race fleet already battle-tested. After slipping quietly out of Victoria Harbour, the boats sailed straight into a potent easterly flow and building seas, transforming the race from a gentle start into a full‑throttle push across open water. Conditions built steadily overnight, with 25–28 kts blowing throughout the evening.

It was a tough night for some entries. The double‑handed team on Juice retired due to equipment malfunction, while PHS entry Jibulai later withdrew after suffering a broken mainsail. 

Moonblue 2 on the other hand reported “a big night, charging through the oil rigs and ripping off roughly 170nm”, with the crew in high spirits.

For the first ever single‑handed entry, Tiger Mok aboard 2 Easy successfully completed his first night at sea: “Survived the first evening — great to see the sunset and never felt this happy and special to see the sunrise. We’ve got 20 to 25kts right now, boat is going okay. I had a little autopilot malfunction last night — a sail tie caught the autohelm, blew a fuse, but it’s working again. I hope the autopilot will be nice to me. I’ve been very gentle with it, not pushing too hard.”

By morning, winds eased to around 18kts, with 1.5 to 2m waves, offering the fleet a brief window to reset, regroup, and enjoy a well‑earned breakfast.

But the respite didn’t last long — by afternoon, winds built again, with a tired crew aboard Parnassus reporting 25 to 27kts.

Team Alive–Rampage have taken the southernmost rhumb line, aiming to avoid a patch of adverse current that could threaten their bid to break the race record. By 2000 HKT they had logged 420nm and were charging toward Subic at 15kts, holding a 25nm lead over Standard Insurance Centennial V.

The two TP52s — Standard Insurance Centennial VII and Happy Go — remain locked in close quarters, sticking nearer the rhumb line and continuing an intense match‑racing duel with only a few miles between them.

Meanwhile, in the battle for IRC Overall, Seawolf is putting on a commanding performance and remains well‑positioned to challenge for their first overall victory.

Race action is being tracked by Yellowbrick Tracking https://yb.tl/rolexchinasea2026  and is being shown live at www.rolexchinasearace.com – the Race can also be followed on the YB Race Viewer App.

ABOUT ROLEX

AN UNRIVALLED REPUTATION FOR QUALITY AND EXPERTISE

Rolex is an integrated and independent Swiss watch manufacture. Headquartered in Geneva, the brand is recognized the world over for its expertise and the quality of its products – symbols of excellence, elegance and prestige. The movements of its Oyster Perpetual and Perpetual watches are certified by COSC, then tested in-house for their precision, performance and reliability. The Superlative Chronometer certification, symbolized by the green seal, confirms that each watch has successfully undergone tests conducted by Rolex in its own laboratories according to its own criteria. These are periodically validated by an independent external organization. The word ‘Perpetual’ is inscribed on every Rolex Oyster watch. But more than just a word on a dial, it is a philosophy that embodies the company’s vision and values. Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of the company, instilled a notion of perpetual excellence that would drive the company forward. This led Rolex to pioneer the development of the wristwatch and numerous major watchmaking innovations, such as the Oyster, the first waterproof wristwatch, launched in 1926, and the Perpetual rotor self-winding mechanism, invented in 1931. In the course of its history, Rolex has registered over 600 patents. At its four sites in Switzerland, the brand designs, develops and produces the majority of its watch components. A fifth site, also in Switzerland, is under construction and is expected to open in 2029. Rolex carries out its own manufacturing operations, from casting the gold alloys to machining, crafting, assembling and finishing the movement, case, dial and bracelet. Furthermore, the brand is actively involved in supporting the arts and culture, sport, and exploration, as well as those who are devising solutions to preserve the planet.
