![]() ![]() Many of Cartier’s new watches have been based on existing versions with innovation focussed on the most expensive models. Lack of innovation has been a problem and Vigneron, who replaces Stanislas de Quercize, a 25-year Richemont group veteran who stepped down last month, will need to focus on this. You could argue Cartier has not been the strongest innovator in recent years,” he said. Additionally, Cartier is suffering from the step back in the Chinese watch market / gifting practices. “Cartier is facing a relatively subdued luxury market, as the bulk of the other mega-brands. ![]() Last month’s terrorist attacks in Paris are also expected to further dent tourists’ travels to Europe to buy luxury goods during the pre-Christmas period which, for some brands, represent up to a quarter of annual sales.īut for Cartier, whose sparkling creations adorned royal heads around the globe in the early 20th century and more recently Kate Middleton’s at her wedding to Prince William, the challenges are bigger than for most.Įxane BNP Paribas analyst Luca Solca said Cartier is particularly exposed to China. The strong franc has made Swiss exports more expensive while Tiffany & Co forecast a bigger fall in full-year profit than previously expected as a strong dollar kept tourists from spending in its showpiece U.S. Richemont also highlighted difficulties in Macau where the casino industry is suffering from the crackdown on corruption, the weak yuan and Chinese government restrictions on travel. This is partly due to the government’s crackdown on the tradition of gifts-for-favours which often involved watches. Some analysts estimate that the high-end watch market in mainland China is down 60 percent since its 2012 peak. Cartier said last year it introduced shorter working hours for some employees and would not say if the measure was still in place. NO MORE CHINESE GIFTSīut he noted the subdued Asian market was causing problems for some companies and a few had laid off staff. Exports are down a bit, but probably still above 20 billion Swiss francs for the whole year,” he said. “There is no real crisis in the Swiss watch industry today. Pierluigi Fedele, who is responsible for watchmaking at the Swiss union Unia, downplayed any talk of a crisis. Watch exports from Switzerland, where Cartier and other watches are made, fell 3.2 percent during the first ten months of 2015 with shipments to Hong Kong down 22.7 percent and rising just 0.1 percent to the United States. Swatch Group shares have fallen 18 percent, partly due to competition from smartwatches and the drop in demand from China. Rolex is privately owned and at LVMH, watch and jewellery sales rose 10 percent during the first nine months but it does not give a separate watch figure. Shares have fallen over 12 percent this year.Ĭomparisons with competitors are hard to make. It had already stated a similar decline for Cartier watches in the full year to March. ![]() Richemont said last month that watch sales were down mid-single digits in the six months to September, dragged down by its biggest markets, Hong Kong and the United States. “For men, first time luxury watch buyer will choose to buy Rolex, which is practical and good looking.”Ĭartier and Richemont declined to comment on the brand’s strategy to improve watch sales. Consumers will regard it as a piece of jewellery when they hear the brand, it is particularly popular among ladies,” said Lam Tung-hing, general manager of the Hong Kong retail operations of Oriental Watch Holdings Ltd. ![]() “Cartier is popular among fashion-focused customers in Hong Kong. Improving Cartier’s image as a watchmaker in China, where wealthy women love its red boxes but men prefer pure watch brands such as Rolex, Patek Philippe or Vacheron Constantin, may be top of his to-do list. But some of Cartier’s problems are specific to the brand, setting up a challenge for Cyrille Vigneron when he takes over the leadership next month. Like other high-end watchmakers Cartier is suffering from a drop in demand in big markets such as Hong Kong, mainland China, Russia and the United States. ![]() ![]() Wu, YG, Lu, BW, Bai, W, Du, TH, Zhang, YF, Cai, L, Jiang, C, Wang, WJ, “Geopolymer, Green Alkali Activated Cementitious Material: Synthesis, Applications and Challenges.” Constr.

In addition, the flame retardancy of the samples was explored through thermal analysis and cone calorimeter. Especially noteworthy is that adding MgO can enhance the surface properties of the prepared coating, the mechanism of which can be rationalized by the inhibited shrinkage of the coating via microcrack deformation, the enhanced compactness and the filled pores of the coating upon adding MgO. ![]() The results show that when the contents of silicone acrylic emulsion, mica powder, and MgO powder are 19.00%, 3.20%, and 2.16–2.86%, respectively, the surface properties of the coating are optimal. The surface properties including crack resistance and scrub resistance of the obtained coating were improved by adding certain amount of resin and fillers such as silicone acrylic emulsion, mica powder, and MgO powder.

This unique historical and philological contribution to the field invites further readings of the tabernacle texts and those related to Noah's ark in light of each other. Therefore, despite axial differences, the structural parallel between Noah's ark and the tabernacle sits comfortably within the context of the ANE and OT. Upon closer examination, however, the tabernacle exhibits three sections horizontally which accord with Mount Sinai and the cosmological features of ancient Near Eastern temples, cosmic mountains, and Utnapishtim's ark of the Gilgamesh Epic. ![]() Since the tabernacle is a tent it cannot exhibit the same tripartite, vertical features seen in Noah's ark and the temple. When it comes to structural parallels, however, scholars generally affirm those between Solomon's temple and Noah's ark, but they reject the possibility of a structural parallel between the tabernacle and Noah's ark. Various scholars have noted conceptual parallels between Noah's ark, the tabernacle, and Solomon's temple. The sin was that of building a fierce reputation (“a name”) to keep from being scattered by others with similar plans for cruel conquest. These Shinarites were guilty of using violence as had been the case with people God judged since Genesis 4. The story in Genesis 11 builds on 10:8-10 and the history of Nimrod. Their fear of being scattered was the fear of defeat and deportation. The arrival in Shinar shows the people were already migrating and multiplying. The building of a ziggurat or tower indicated a desire to have communion with God or the gods. The attempt to “make a name” is reasonably defined by the narrative in its immediate and OT context, not as attacking God or avoiding migration, but pride that led to an abuse of power. This article offers an atypical answer to this question. Research related to the so-called Tower of Babel story in Genesis 11:1-9 continues to debate the exact nature of the sin described in verse 4, which caused the Lord to punish the people with confusion and dispersion. ![]() ![]() 3: Graphical Presentational of Space-Time Warping Alcubierre Drive If the marble doesn’t revolve around the football it will fall into it.įig. This could be understood by placing a football on a stretched cloth and making a small marble go around the football. ![]() Gravity is one such property which causes a stretch in the fabric of space-time which explains why smaller physical bodies revolve around larger bodies in space like the earth goes around the sun because the sun, being more massive, stretches the space-time fabric to a greater extent than the earth which makes the earth go around the sun to avoid falling into it. The space-time is referred to as the space-time fabric due to its elastic nature, meaning that it can be stretched by certain physical phenomena. Every single thing that has happened, is happening and will happen is located along the space-time continuum consisting of its spatial location located along a strand of the past-future line. The three dimensions of space and one dimension of time (past, present and future dimension) therefore construct a four dimensional space-time model. It is a continuum (homogenous throughout the universe) and is required to better understand many important physical properties which happen in the universe such as gravity. The three dimensional space and time is theorized to be an interwoven mathematical model called Space-Time. ![]() 2: Figure Showing Space-Time Continuum with Gravitational Stretching Effect Therefore making the speed of light the true constant of the universe as opposed to the length of time being constant (making it possible for time travel).įig. This could be understood by the famous equation of Einstein (which he formulated from this idea), E=mc 2, which actually means that mass is just energy which has been compressed by a large value (the magnitude of square of the light speed) and therefore meaning that mass cannot cross the light speed barrier since it cannot go faster than itself (Since Mass is Energy). Instead, time lengthens to slow down a body approaching light speed. This led him to a breakthrough figuring out that the speed of light is the true constant of the universe and cannot be broken by any mass containing body. If he is travelling at the speed of light, the light leaving his face wouldn’t have time to cover the additional distance between him and the mirror and back to his eyes making him invisible to the mirror. He questioned whether a person holding a mirror at arm’s length and is travelling on a ship moving at light speed, could see his own reflection. Albert Einstein posed a thought experiment which led to him postulating the theory of general and special relativity. The speed of light is around 300,000 km/sec and is the speed at which light (which is an electromagnetic wave) travels through vacuum. The Speed of Light and Einstein’s Theory of Relativity But, is the light speed barrier breakable? If not, then why? To accomplish either one or all of these tasks we would require a means of transportation which travel at a speed which would be a significant fraction of the speed of light or even more for greater distances. The human species might have originated on earth but to ensure the survival of our race we may have to venture out search the stars for a new home or to comb the universe to find other life forms or to gain a deeper understanding on the origins and the dynamics of the universe. The closest star to our solar system is the Proxima Centauri System which is about 4.2 light years away which would essentially take the fastest machine ever built (The Voyager Satellite) about 76,000 years which is not an inspiring number given that the average life expectancy of a human being is around 60 to 70 years (as of now). Humans, on the other hand have not gone further than the moon (360,000 km away from earth) and are soon planning a trip to mars. But, how much have we explored? The furthest distance reached by a machine, the voyager I, is the outskirts of our solar which is a few light hours from earth which it took 35 years to sail in empty space going at an astonishing speed of 1100 Km/sec. ![]() Our theoretical description of space is the entire observable universe which extends to 13.8 Billion Lightyears (because the universe is 13.8 Billion Years old) through whichever direction we look at it (and is the same from any point of observation in the universe, since the universe is infinite). 1: Image Showing the Alcubierre Warp Drive ![]() |
