Drone Shows Replace 4th of July Fireworks in Wildfire-Prone Areas

Travis Drones Show

After the amazing coordinated light shows at the Super Bowl and the Winter Olympics, drones are being used as fireworks alternatives.

This year, Intel is getting in on the Independence Day spirit by holding a 500-drone display at Travis Airforce base in Northern California. But don’t feel left out. While your 4th of July drone display likely won’t be quite so grandiose, there are a number of companies across the country (Firefly Drone Shows, Great Lakes Drone Company, and Wildly Creative Marketing, just to name a few) that are starting to offer drone light shows as an alternative to fireworks in blaze-prone areas. An added benefit (or perhaps drawback for traditionalists) is that masses of drones only create a cicada-like buzzing rather than the massive booms that can frighten and confuse pets, often prompting escape attempts. 🎆Robb Report

Ulysse Nardin Classic Zheng He

WORLD OF CHINESE MARITIME HISTORY The Chinese Treasure Boat (or Bao-Chuan) was a type of large wooden ship in the fleet of admiral Zheng He, the renowned explorer and mariner, who led seven incredible voyages during the early 15th-century Ming Dynasty. ENAMEL SPECIALISTS To accurately portray the appearance of the Zheng He Treasure Boat, Ulysse Nardin called upon its enamel specialists Donzé Cadrans for the intricate enamel cloisonné technique so valued by collectors. In this very ancient art form, which dates back to the early 4th century, craftsmen employ fine gold wire to create the compartments, within which the enamel is carefully deposited. Every cloisonné dial involves immense effort and patience, requiring 50 hours of artisanal expertise and 26 separate processes to bring a scene to vivid life. #UlysseNardin ⌚
