Handel's Roars Into Summer with New Frosted Animal Cookie Ice Cream
Limited-Edition Flavor Available at Participating Locations Starting June 3 YOUNGSTOWN, OH, UNITED STATES, June 2, 2025 / / -- This year marks a sweet milestone for Handel's Ice Cream, as the iconic brand celebrates its 80th anniversary of scooping up joy. To kick off summer in a nostalgic style, Handel's is unveiling its newest limited-time flavor, Frosted Animal Cookie. The flavor is a playful twist on a classic treat that's sure to spark childhood memories, featuring a cake flavored ice cream base with a vanilla frosting ripple and frosted animal cookies mixed in. Guests can scoop up this limited-time flavor starting June 3 at participating locations while supplies last. 'Frosted Animal Cookie takes a beloved childhood treat and transforms it into a scoop that's both playful and nostalgic,' said Hillary Frei, Chief Marketing Officer of Handel's Ice Cream. 'As we celebrate 80 years of Handel's, there's no better time to share a joyful flavor that captures the spirit of summer and brings out the kid in all of us.' The idea for the new flavor came from franchisee Joseph Ogden, who owns and operates the Thousand Oaks and Oxnard locations in California. After seeing his brother, niece and her husband successfully open several Handel's shops in Utah, Ogden was inspired to open his own stores in Northern Los Angeles. During his training in Ohio, he pitched the concept for Frosted Animal Cookie, inspired by his childhood field trips to the zoo and the frosted cookies his grandmother used to share with him. 'I wanted to create something that felt like a bite of childhood,' said Ogden. 'Frosted Animal Cookie is fun, colorful, and packed with nostalgic flavor. It reminds me of the cookies my grandma used to give me after a day at the zoo. I'm proud to see it come to life and be part of Handel's 80th anniversary celebration.' Handel's regularly showcases franchisee-submitted flavors, kicking off 2025 with Sticky Fingers and Raspberry Dream Cream. Frosted Animal Cookie continues that tradition of flavor-forward thinking and community spirit. Guests can enjoy the new flavor and other Handel's favorites in a dish, cone, or shake. For those looking to take some home, Handel's also offers its ice cream in pints at participating locations. 'Our franchisees are deeply passionate about the brand and love creating moments that stick with people,' added Frei. 'It's exciting to see their creativity come to life in flavors that fans can enjoy nationwide.'

Peacock 1953 Aircraft Hand Watch: Heritage Meets Horological Innovation in a Tribute to China's Watchmaking Pioneers
SHENZHEN, China, June 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- PeacockWatch today launches the Peacock Perfection Classic 1953 'Aircraft Hand', a limited-edition timepiece that marries mid-century Chinese watchmaking heritage with 21st-century craftsmanship. Inspired by the original 'Aircraft Hand' of the 1970s Hongqi (Red Flag) commemorative watch produced by Liaoning Watch Factory, this model revives a symbol of national pride and technological triumph with modern refinement and rare flame-blued titanium hands. Heritage & Inspiration The year 1953 marked a turning point in the People's Republic of China—an era of rebuilding and renewed peace. Peacock commemorates that moment with a watch that channels vintage soul through design cues first seen in the Hongqi series of the 1970s, when Liaoning Watch Factory (now Peacock) celebrated the successful launch of Dongfanghong-1, China's first satellite, on 24 April 1970. The original 'Aircraft Hand"—a sweeping, aircraft-shaped seconds hand—became an emblem of hope and progress, earning cult status among collectors. The 'Red Flag Hand' & Flame-Blued Titanium Peacock elevates the vintage motif into the 'Red Flag Hand', accentuating its curves and sharpening its profile to evoke both aviation and national symbolism. Each hand undergoes hand-flame-bluing on titanium alloy—a notably demanding technique that involves heating the metal to 550–600 °C over a naked flame, producing a shifting blue-violet iridescence through natural oxidation, not paint. Unlike steel—which blues at ~300 °C—titanium requires much higher temperatures, making the process exceptionally rare and difficult. Four Shades of Triumph Echoing the journey from struggle to victory, the collection introduces four dial hues— CANGXIAN,XI,SHU - each named for the tones of water, frost, dawn, and sunrise. These colors symbolize resilience, silent strength, renewed promise, and radiant glory, respectively, weaving narrative depth into every glance at the dial. Masterful Details Movement & Finishing The in-house PAX6910 automatic caliber channels Swiss haute horlogerie traditions—featuring Geneva stripes, perlage, polished anglage, chamfered bridges, and a gold-toned rotor—while offering five-position adjustment and robust reliability. Case & Strap Encased in 904L aerospace-grade steel, the 38.5 mm case (9.4 mm thick) balances brushed and mirror finishes. Bugle Horn lugs symbolize courage, and a raised sapphire crystal ensures crystal-clear legibility. Paired with a hand-stitched Novonappa calfskin strap—stitched in waxed thread and engraved '1953.7.27"—this watch is built to last as long as its legend. Peacock Watches International official website Availability & Press Inquiries The Peacock Perfection Classic 1953 'Aircraft Hand' is available now in a limited production run.
