HONOURING TWO CENTURIES OF EXPLORATION AND CRAFTSMANSHIP
Founded in 1824, the family's pursuit of cognac excellence has always been deeply guided by parallel voyages of discovery in the natural world (ornithology, botany) driving the House to make fundamental choices in XO craftsmanship. Delamain cognacs are exclusively made from the first Cognac terroir: Grande Champagne, aged in seasoned French oak, and reduced using "faibles" to preserve the spirit's essence. This dualistic approach, combining artistic passion and intellectual rigour, has allowed the house to create cognacs that are the purest expression of this special terroir, profoundly deep and elegant.
AN HISTORIC BLEND INCORPORATING THE SAVOIR-FAIRE OF FIVE GENERATIONS
L'Edition Rare du Bicentenaire brings together five rare eaux-de-vie, each chosen and nurtured by successive generations of Delamain cellar masters. The combined expertise of Delamain's two most recent Cellar Masters was key to both showcasing the individuality of the eaux-de-vie and composing a harmonious blend. The result is the liquid incarnation of time and its powers, a blend where vibrant fruit notes meet profound aromatic depth, and a testimony to Delamain's 200-year journey.
A MASTERPIECE BY MAISON GOOSSENS, INSPIRED BY NATURE
For this milestone, Delamain entrusted the renowned Maison Goossens, one of Chanel's twelve esteemed Maisons d'art. Goossens has adorned the 10-litre dame-jeanne with vineyard bird and organic motifs in a stunning 245-piece sculpture, achieved through seven meticulous stages of craftsmanship, including bronze casting and gold plating.
EXCLUSIVE AUCTION BY BONHAMS: A CELEBRATION OF HERITAGE
The pinnacle of Delamain's bicentenary celebrations is Bonhams' online auction of the dame-jeanne to be held between November 19th and December 6th. The winning bidder will also receive a 70cl bottle of L'edition Rare du Bicentenaire and be invited along with 3 guests to an immersive experience in Delamain's Jarnac cellars.

HOUSE OF DELAMAIN MARKS 200 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE WITH RELEASE OF L'EDITION RARE DU BICENTENAIRE
MILPITAS, Calif., Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The global semiconductor manufacturing industry in the third quarter of 2024 showed strong momentum with all key industry indicators performing positive quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) increases for the first time in two years, SEMI announced today in its Q3 2024 publication of the Semiconductor Manufacturing Monitor (SMM) Report, prepared in partnership with TechInsights. The growth is fueled by seasonal factors and strong demand from investments in AI data centers, however, the consumer, automotive, and industrial segments are experiencing a slower pace of recovery. The growth trend is expected to continue into the fourth quarter of 2024.
After declining in the first half of 2024, electronic sales rebounded in Q3 2024, growing 8% QoQ, with a projected QoQ increase of 20% in Q4 2024. IC sales also rose by 12% QoQ in Q3 2024 and are expected to grow another 10% in Q4 2024. Overall, IC sales are forecasted to increase over 20% in 2024, primarily driven by memory products due to price improvement across the board and strong demand for data center memory chips.
Similar to the electronics sales, semiconductor capital expenditures (CapEx) decreased in the first half of 2024, but the trend is turning positive starting in Q3 2024. Memory-related CapEx is surging 34% QoQ and 67% year-on-year (YoY) in Q3 2024 reflecting improvement in the memory IC market compared to the same period of the last year. In Q4 2024, total CapEx is expected to jump 27% relative to Q3 2024 levels and 31% YoY, with memory-related CapEx leading this growth at 39% YoY.
The semiconductor capital equipment segment remains strong and is performing better than previously expected due to substantial investments from China and increased spending for high-bandwidth memory and advanced packaging. Wafer Fab Equipment (WFE) spending increased 15% YoY and 11% QoQ in Q3 2024. China's investment continues to play a significant role in the WFE market. Additionally, both the Test and the Assembly and Packaging segments experienced impressive YoY increases of 40% and 31%, respectively, in Q3 2024, and this growth is anticipated to continue for the remainder of the year.
In Q3 2024, installed wafer fab capacity reached 41.4 million wafers per quarter (in 300mm wafer equivalent) and is projected to rise by 1.6% in Q4 2024. Foundry and Logic-related capacity continues to show stronger increases, growing 2.0% in Q3 2024 and is projected to rise 2.2% in Q4 2024 driven by capacity expansion for both advanced and mature nodes. Memory capacity increased 0.6% in Q3 2024 and is forecasted to maintain the same pace of growth in Q4 2024. This growth is driven by strong demand for high bandwidth memory (HBM) but is partially offset by process node transitions.
"The semiconductor capital equipment segment continues to exhibit growth momentum, bolstered this year by strong investments from China and increased spending on advanced technologies," said Clark Tseng, Senior Director of Market Intelligence at SEMI. "Additionally, the continued expansion of fab capacity, especially in the foundry and logic segments, underscores the industry's commitment to meeting the growing demand for advanced semiconductor technologies."
"2024 has shown two sides within the semiconductor industry," said Boris Metodiev, Director of Market Analysis at TechInsights. "While consumer, automotive, and industrial markets have struggled, AI has thrived, boosting average selling prices in memory and logic products. As interest rates decrease heading into 2025, consumer sentiment is expected to improve, encouraging larger purchases and supporting both the consumer and automotive markets."
