“As the Olympic Games approach, we are still feeling a lot of energy and excitement one year from the event,” said Raynald Aeschlimann, OMEGA Chairman and CEO. The athletes are starting to dream and, of course, our timekeepers are finalizing their preparations. I am certain that Paris 2024 will be an unforgettable event.”
“As an athlete, the last year before the Games is crucial for your preparation, I remember it like it was yesterday, detailed Tony Estanguet, president of Paris 2024. Whether you are an athlete or a sports enthusiast, one year from the event, emotions start to rise and you only think about the Games. In the heart of the City of Light, the Paris 2024 Games will be spectacular, iconic and memorable, and they will be wide open.”
Visible by day and illuminated by night, the countdown is inspired by the emblem of Paris 2024, with a central flame surrounded by a golden circle. The structure was custom-designed for the occasion to generate excitement throughout the city.
