Zenith Pilot Ton-Up DGR Special Edition

August 30, 2016August 16, 2016 by Editorial Team

To celebrate this year’s The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, Zenith Watches has created 5 limited and special edition of the Pilot Ton-Up bearing the DGR logo. 5 timepieces to award the best fundraisers all around the world.

On Sunday September 25th 2016, more than 50,000 smartly dressed gentlefolk in over 550 cities will straddle the saddles of their café racers, bobbers, scramblers and other marvelous custom and classic motorcycles to raise awareness and help fund the cure for prostate cancer. Zenith has been proudly announced as sponsor of The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride to celebrate timeless design and eternal mechanic for a cause. This is the best dressed way to fight prostate cancer and help improve men’s mental health

Launched at Baselworld 2016, Zenith Pilot Ton-up watch with its broad 45 mm-diameter aged steel case houses a legendary movement and displays a vintage dial boasting perfect readability. It evokes strong character, originality, freedom and style which is perfectly fitting the spirit of the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride.

“On Sunday the 25th of September, we are going to don our finest attire and join men and women across the globe in the 2016 Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride to find a cure for Prostate Cancer and to help Men’s Mental Health. Over 1,300 men a day die of prostate cancer worldwide, and it’s time for that to end. Your donation will help The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride reach its goal of $US5 Million to fund research into a cure for a disease that claims far too many gentlemen each year,” commented Zenith Watches team.

The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride was founded in Sydney, Australia by Mark Hawwa. It was inspired by a photo of Mad Men’s Don Draper astride a classic bike and wearing his finest suit. Mark decided a themed ride would be a great way to combat the often-negative stereotype of men on motorcycles, whilst connecting niche motorcycle communities together.

That first ride in 2012 brought together over 2,500 riders across 64 cities. The success of the event encouraged the founder to consider how it could be used to support a worthy cause.

• In 2013, over 11,000 participants in 145 cities around the world raised over $277k (US) for prostate cancer research.

• In 2014, over 20,000 participants in 257 cities in 58 countries raised over $1.5M (US) for prostate cancer research.

• In 2015, over 37,000 participants in 410 cities in 79 countries raised over $2.3M (US) for prostate cancer research.

Save The Children Jewelry Collection

August 2, 2016 by Editorial Team

Raise your voice, raise your hand, raise hope, raise trust, and raise the access!

The lack of education perpetuates the cycle of poverty. The result is that too many children are unable to attain their aspirations.

In 2009, Italian jewelry and luxury goods brand Bulgari decided to take action on behalf of disadvantaged children around the world by partnering with Save the Children, one of the most effective, wide-reaching charities in the world. It launched a campaign from which a considerable portion of the proceeds from the sale of Save the Children jewelry — custom-designed by Bulgari — are donated to the charity.

Lily Aldridge, Juliette Binoche, Helena Christensen, Luke Evans, Chiara Ferragni, and many other stars joined Bulgari in this movement.

Photographer Fabrizio Ferri explains the campaign’s #RAISE YOUR HAND slogan, “We raise our hand to signal our presence, our interest, our attention, our participation. To signal that we do not hide, that we have no fear, that we believe we have an answer. Raising our hand while wearing the ring or the bracelet symbolizes our support for Bulgari’s effort to raise funds for Save the Children. I have personally witnessed the positive impact it has had on the lives of thousands of children around the world, thanks to the money raised so far. That’s why I donate my work. This is how I raise my hand.”

A new sterling silver and black ceramic bracelet was specially created for the campaign, providing a beautiful addition to the Save the Children jewelry collection. Comprised originally of a ring and a pendant, each piece of the Save the Children collection is inspired by Bulgari’s iconic B.zero1 jewelry design. The bracelet retails for $510, of $100 is donated directly to Save the Children.

To date, the wildly successful sales of the custom-designed Bulgari collection has helped to raise $50 million for Save the Children. These important donations have reached 1 million beneficiaries in 33 countries across five continents, in areas where natural disasters, wars, conflict, marginalization, disability and poverty can hinder the right to education and a better future.

Over 7 years, Bulgari and Save the Children have had an active presence in more than 2,000 schools, providing improvements to services and infrastructures, and training teachers to use child-centered, more interactive teaching methods.

“In line with the campaign’s creative concept developed by Fabrizio Ferri, Bulgari and Save the Children have raised their hands to signify that many lives can be changed — those of the children living in the most deprived areas of the world, those of many young people who could find their life path if given the opportunity to cultivate their talents. A great many people are allowing this partnership to make a difference in the lives of so many children among the most vulnerable in the world, giving them the future they deserve,” explained Claudio Tesauro, Save the Children Italy’s President.
