#IDontSpeakHater Each November, the Kering Foundation runs the White Ribbon For Women campaign to raise awareness on violence against women. This year, the Foundation has chosen to focus on cyberbullying. Over half of adolescents and teens have been bullied online, and about the same number have engaged in cyber bullying. To mark its 10th anniversary, all Kering brands join forces with the Kering Foundation. From November 16 to 30, 2018, Ulysse Nardin is donating 10% of the retail price from the Diver Chronometer Great White to local programs supported by the Kering Foundation. Everyone can play their part: Support survivors and the #IDontSpeakHater campaign #wrfw2018  www.IDontSpeakHater.org

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 ⌚

THE INSIDE STORY OF THE ICONIC POLO BEAR He is a man of contradictions. Innocent yet sophisticated. Suave yet cuddly. A beloved children’s toy…who enjoys an occasional martini. He’s been spotted hobnobbing with international celebrities, written about in leading newspapers, and even played a critical role in shaping the cover of a seminal hip-hop record. He is, of course, the Polo Bear, and this is his story. #RLmag 🐻

Do you understand top professional influencers’ expectations? A lot of companies tend to see influencers as people posting on a purely transactional basis, but that can’t be farther from the truth. Most influencers look to bring a lot of value to their audiences. When it comes to the bigger influencers, you’re more likely to work with their managers. For smaller influencers, you’ll probably be working one-on-one. Remember that influencers are people- not commodities to be transacted. Respect their businesses and don’t just look at them as a means to get some marketing done. They’re hardworking people who spent a lot of time and energy building up their followers. Here’s what influencers look for in their partnerships with brands… #ScalingRetail #Fashion 💎

The histories of wristwatches and human flight can’t help but be intertwined. When aviation was in its early days, pioneering pilots turned to Hamilton ( shop.hamiltonwatch.com ) for more accurate timepieces to back up their cockpit instruments. In fact, as early as 1918, Hamilton was the official timekeeper of the first U.S. Airmail flights. By the mid-1930s, the brand had become the official watch of four major U.S. airlines, and later would develop and supply watches for military forces, air rescue services and more. Hamilton has carefully guarded its reputation in the aviation world, partnering only with the finest rescue and flight teams.  LA Confidential Magazine #Fashion 💎

When the Daily News Record published its first mention of a stylish young tie salesman whose own clothes always seemed to be a season ahead of the market, they probably had no idea he’d still be blazing trails more than half a century later. It was 1964—a few years before the launch of the Polo brand, but the fashion world was already beginning to take notice of Ralph Lauren.  👔 #Fashion
