Zenith Updates The Original Triple Calendar With A Lapis Lazuli Dial
Following its 2024 reintroduction, Zenith's Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar is now offered with a dial cut from natural lapis lazuli. It's a visually striking addition to the collection, combining deep blues and gold-toned pyrite speckles with the mechanical complexity of a full calendar chronograph.
Striking blue dial
The 38mm case remains true to the original A386 silhouette from 1969, with pump pushers, box-shaped sapphire crystal, and a well-balanced dial layout. Inside is the El Primero 3610, Zenith's latest high-frequency calibre, now with a 1/10th of a second chronograph. The chronograph hand makes a full sweep every 10 seconds, tracked on a silver-toned chapter ring, while the calendar functions are integrated across the dial with a moonphase display tucked inside the 60-minute totalizer at 6 o'clock.
Sub-dial macro
Each dial is unique due to the organic nature of the stone, but the overall layout remains consistent: silver-colored counters, day and month apertures at 11 and 2 o'clock, and a subtle date window at 4:30. The moonphase aperture adds to the celestial theme and rounds out the calendar complication.
The watch comes mounted on a blue calfskin leather strap with a steel folding clasp, and also ships with a matching steel bracelet. At 14mm thick and 46mm lug-to-lug, the case proportions remain compact, with 5ATM of water resistance and a display back revealing the movement's star-shaped rotor and blue column wheel.

Webtoon Soars 97% as Disney Pact Brings Marvel, Star Wars Comics to Platform
(Bloomberg) -- Webtoon Entertainment Inc. surged 81% in its best day since going public last year after announcing a partnership with Walt Disney Co. that will bring iconic characters such as Marvel's Spider-Man and Luke Skywalker of to its platform. The deal will allow it to publish 100 reformatted comics from Disney brands to a dedicated section on Webtoon's English-language app, the company said in a statement on Tuesday after the market's close. The two will also produce original web comics together. Sunseeking Germans Face Swiss Backlash Over Alpine Holiday Congestion The US-Canadian Road Safety Gap Is Getting Wider To Head Off Severe Storm Surges, Nova Scotia Invests in 'Living Shorelines' Five Years After Black Lives Matter, Brussels' Colonial Statues Remain For Homeless Cyclists, Bikes Bring an Escape From the Streets The announcement came as Webtoon reported quarterly results that beat analyst expectations, which helped fuel the rally. 'Together, we're bringing this legendary storytelling to a new generation of mobile-native comic fans, while giving existing fans a new way to experience series and characters they love,' said Yongsoo Kim, chief strategy officer and head of global Webtoon. Disney marks the latest collaboration for Webtoon, a platform that allows creators and users to make and discover digital comics. The company also counts South Korean entertainment firm HYBE Co. Ltd. and DC Comics, which is owned by Warner Bros Discovery Inc., as content partners. But even with the stock's surge, the stock is still below the $21 price of its initial public offering last year, following a previous string of disappointing earnings reports. Morgan Stanley's Matthew Cost said the Disney partnership is an 'intriguing development.' 'We believe this will be an important audience building effort that could help accelerate user growth in English speaking markets,' Cost wrote in a note published on Wednesday. 'Our key question is whether that Disney audience will stay in Webtoon to consume and create platform-native content, or will they only consume the branded content they know?'

Soap, wristbands and scaling the UN: People get creative during final plastic pollution treaty talks
GENEVA (AP) — A Swiss ocean protection group is handing out bars of soap to negotiators working on a global accord to end plastic pollution. The messaging on the cardboard box from the Geneva-based Gallifrey foundation reads 'no dirty tricks, vote for a clean plastics treaty.' As Thai diplomat Jutha Saovabha walked to the treaty talks Wednesday morning, Gallifrey Foundation spokesperson Laurianne Trimoulla stopped him to chat and handed him a soap. Saovabha said it was a lovely gift and he liked the plastic-free packaging. Nations are crafting the first global, legally binding treaty on plastics pollution. The meeting at the United Nations office in Geneva is supposed to be the last and people are getting creative to put the pressure on to get a deal done. Here is a look at what they're doing: A 'cheeky' stunt Trimoulla said they chose soap because Switzerland is known for its cleanliness, and democracy. She said it's a 'cheeky' way to deliver a serious message. The foundation partnered with Friends of the Earth International and the Break Free From Plastic movement to urge delegates to vote on the treaty. Currently, every nation must agree for any proposal to be included in the treaty. If consensus can't be reached on the last day, the process could become paralyzed. The talks are scheduled to conclude Thursday. On Wednesday, Trimoulla had about 10 organic soaps left to hand out out of nearly 400. She said many delegates liked the gift, including those from France, Panama, and 'even the United States.' The foundation wants the treaty to reduce plastic production, whereas the U.S. supports provisions focused on better waste management and reuse to reduce plastic pollution. Wristbands to raise awareness about hazardous chemicals The International Pollutants Elimination Network gave wristbands to UN officials, delegates and plastic waste workers before the talks to measure their exposure to chemicals used to make plastics and show the importance of protecting human health with the treaty. It's releasing a report Wednesday about the findings. IPEN cochair Pamela Miller said the treaty is 'all about oil versus our health.' Most plastic is made from fossil fuels. Camila Zepeda, of Mexico, wore one. Zepeda is now leading negotiations for Mexico on an article to address problematic plastic products, including single-use plastics and chemicals. 'I had been reading a lot of research. So I was already sort of wary that we're already exposed to so many chemicals,' she said. 'What I was surprised by, is that all over the world, because this study has been carried throughout different regions, we are all being exposed to those added chemicals in plastics. That is concerning.' A conveyor belt of plastic waste The World Wildlife Fund set up a conveyor belt of plastic waste in the plaza in front of the U.N. office Wednesday. A backdrop showed a turtle, dolphin and a person with open mouths, as if the waste was flowing in. There was a large red button that said 'EMERGENCY', plus a sign that read 'PUSH THE BUTTON, STOP THE PLASTIC FLOOD NOW.' The WWF urged delegates to the talks to push the red button and halt the belt, to represent stopping plastic pollution. Scaling the UN Activists from Greenpeace climbed to the top of the buildings at the entrance to the U.N. office in Geneva and unfurled banners shortly after the negotiations began there last week. Greenpeace said it wanted to show the 'undue influence' of the fossil fuel industry at the talks. Most plastic is made from fossil fuels. 'We need to make sure all eyes are on Geneva in this critical moment where we have this once in a generation opportunity to create a safe and healthy world for everyone,' said Graham Forbes, head of the Greenpeace delegation in Geneva. The banners read 'big oil polluting inside' and 'plastics treaty not for sale.' They painted a black strip on the road at the entrance to the U.N. office to represent oil. 'Shoe leather lobbying' by the plastics industry Much like in Washington, D.C., industry leaders and company executives are meeting with delegates to answer questions and convey their priorities for the treaty, said Chris Jahn, president and CEO of the American Chemistry Council. There was an event before the talks started to showcase a database created by industry to improve transparency about chemical additives in plastics. 'It's shoe leather lobbying and informal personal engagements, where they need an answer to a question quickly and we provide it to them,' Jahn said. 'We're happy to provide information when it's useful and we'll be here as long as we need to, to hopefully get a deal.' Using art to influence policy Benjamin Von Wong, a Canadian artist and activist, is heaping piles of plastic waste onto a large sculpture in front of the U.N. office. Delegates to the treaty talks pass by the sculpture daily in a reminder of their responsibility to solve the plastic pollution crisis. It's his take on the famous sculpture by Auguste Rodin, 'The Thinker' in Paris. There is a male figure in deep thought, like Rodin depicted. But instead of sitting atop a rock, Von Wong's figure sits atop Mother Earth while cradling a baby and clutching plastic bottles. A strand of DNA intertwines them to highlight the health impacts of plastic pollution. On Wednesday, Von Wong added more plastic waste to cover Mother Earth. ___ The Associated Press' climate and environmental coverage receives financial support from multiple private foundations.

Woman Tattoos 'Scannable' Red Bull Barcode on Her Forearm but Reveals It's Not Actually Her Favorite Drink (Exclusive)
NEED TO KNOW A Swiss woman got a Red Bull barcode tattooed on her forearm — and it works in retail locations across the country At the time, Dew was working retail and had to strategically place the tattoo so she wouldn't accidentally scan it while ringing up customers "I have A LOT of tattoo plans," she shares. "If I had the money, I would be covered all over"Dew, a 22-year-old Swiss woman, quickly went viral on TikTok when she shared a video of herself buying a Red Bull. But instead of scanning the can's barcode, Dew whipped out her upper forearm and scanned her tattoo instead — and sure enough, the sale went through. Now, she's opening up to PEOPLE about the tattoo's functionality and the wide range of opinions it seems to evoke. It started as a joke — Dew, whose hair is dyed purple and whose skin is already populated with tattoos, occasionally encountered rude people who dubbed her appearance as "emo" and asked if she had "barcodes," or scars on her arms. Dew wanted a funny and effective reply to those comments, and thus, she chose the Red Bull barcode. In February 2024, around the time she got the tattoo, Dew was working a retail job and often manned the checkout, she tells PEOPLE. She decided to get the tattoo close to the inside of her elbow, so she could scan it when she wanted but not have to worry about accidentally scanning it while working, she says. Contrary to popular belief, though, Red Bull isn't Dew's favorite caffeine source. "I like Red Bull a lot, [though] I do admit its not my favorite energy drink," she shares. "However, Red Bull is quite silly and I thought this tattoo is silly, so why not?" In terms of function, the bar code does work consistently, and is accepted at retail locations across Switzerland, she revealed in a TikTok following her viral video. Sometimes she has to pull or spread her skin out, but otherwise it's "pretty easily scannable," she says. Her family likes the tattoo, mostly because there's a worm that wraps around the barcode as a fun decoration. She says the worm is actually inspired by a "silly doodle" that her sister once made that she adapted to fit in with the tattoo. Her friends are supportive for the most part, while others see the choice as "a bit insane." In addition to the barcode, Dew also has a tattoo of a screaming alpaca, as well as a lemon with the inscription, "lemonade 100% lemon, 0% sugar, 0% ade, just Lemon." She also has a little "L" on her left thumb and an "R" on her right thumb, plus a Legend of Zelda design and a burning moth. "I have A LOT of tattoo plans," she shares. "If I had the money, I would be covered all over." Read the original article on People
