WITH HIS NEWEST COLLECTION, RALPH LAUREN CELEBRATES THE EXQUISITE ARTISANSHIP OF THE WEST
There is a wall in a bedroom on Ralph and Ricky Lauren’s Colorado cattle ranch where antique concho belts hang in a row, cascading from timber slats on either side of a headboard.

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 ⌚
