The Shadow Effect
MEGA Man|July 2017

Eclipsed by the shadow of time, Hermès breathes new life to a classic timepiece in the form of the Cape Cod Shadow.

The Shadow Effect

There is a push and pull that exists with time. While it will ideally want to persist forward in an undisturbed manner, there are rogues that get in the way, forcing it to skew and skirt around before finally arriving at the end of the line. This tug of war has made for stories that has colored history and even literature for many years. If all things went down the line as planned and as we want to, then wouldn’t that be a bore? Yes, we thought so, too. And so did Henri d’Origny, a long-time creative partner of Hermès when tasked to design a square watch.

GOOD LEADERSHIP

GOOD LEADERSHIP

I’ve been an employee and a business owner for nearly two decades now and during one of the long nights of 2020, I asked myself, “What kind of leader do I want to be?” This is a question that can easily be answered by, “I want to be a good leader.” But the truth is, it is so difficult to even come close to good. You see, many if not all of our jobs is a business, a business that has to keep spending at bay, one that has to increase profits year over year, and one that has to keep workers happy and motivated. Those things are polar opposites of one another and to find the perfect middle is challenging. For months, I’ve mulled over my own question and I think I’ve found the answer. I want to be that leader that inspires personal growth.

BE HAPPY

BE HAPPY

Two months ago, I was announced as the head of One Mega Group, a position previously held by our late Founder, Sari Yap, and then our current Chairman, Archie Carasco. Full disclosure, I knew about this announcement six months ago at the height of the pandemic. When I was told, I laughed. I wasn’t sure if it was a nervous laughter, an amused chuckle or both. I honestly thought it was a prank that would be revealed seconds later, but it wasn’t.
