Summer Re-run The Power of a Good Deed - Tag Heuer

As mentioned, I try to give credit where credit is due, and this was a big one deserving a lot of credit last year.  It will be a tough one to top, but in looking back, it was one instance where Tag Heuer really showed some exemplary corporate citizenship.  Let's hope they come up with something equally good this year.

Apparently Santa Claus Works for Tag Heuer!

Remember the excitingly refreshing news that news was this AM that Tag Heuer ambassador Cara Delevingne 

was auctioning off her prototype model to benefit WildCRU?

I don't know about the rest of you, but I had a "warm & fuzzy" feeling all morning.  And then it got even BETTER!

I will simply quote Tag Heuer's statement:

Inspired by our friend Cara Delevingne! TAG Heuer supports this great social cause and will match the amount raised from Cara’s auction to wildCRU.org. LET'S JOIN FORCES!

YES - you read that correctly, Tag Heuer will MATCH the amount raised from the Ebay auction for wildCRU and Cecil!!!

Oh, and the bid is currently SIX THOUSAND, SEVEN HUNDRED POUNDS STERLING!!!

And no - they have not (at least as far as I know) sent a press release, just a quiet little comment.  

Well, if they aren't going to shout it to the public, I certainly am!  

Drop your favorite Tag Heur rep, agent, pr person or CEO a thank you note!  And remember, you'll always recognize Santa Clause - wearing Red and White, and apparently GREEN as well!

Well Done Tag Heuer and Cara Delevingne!

A Day to Reflect

This morning I'm going to take a break from watches, accessories, etc.

The world is missing Cecil, and I am deeply ashamed that the callous man who killed, decapitated and skinned him is American - #WalterPalmer you are a mediocre man.

And to make this ONE MILLION PERCENT CLEAR - I am not anti-gun, I am not even anti-hunting (when it is done ethically and for rational reasons).

I AM anti-asshole.

While it is easy to knee-jerk and wish "an eye for an eye" - frankly that will not solve anything.  I would simply stress the need for the rule of law to be applied.  #WalterPalmer should be extradited if/when the request comes to stand trial for poaching if/when the charges are formally submitted.

Nothing will bring Cecil back, but hopefully something good can come out of this mess.

Be well everyone
