#The Ingersoll Watch Company

[timetrek24]

🇺🇲 In 1892 Robert Hawley and Charles Henry Ingersoll laid the foundation for The Ingersoll Watch Company. Born out of a humble mail order business in New York City in 1882, the company initially dealt in low-cost items like rubber stamps. However, their journey was destined for greater horizons.

⏱️ In 1896, Ingersoll revolutionized the watch industry by introducing the first-ever dollar watch – the "Yankee." Priced at a mere $1, it became an instant sensation, marking a significant milestone as the most affordable timepiece of its time. By 1899, an astonishing 8,000 watches were churned out daily, fueling the brand's exponential growth.

📊 Вy 1910, Ingersoll had become a household name, with over 10,000 dealers worldwide carrying their iconic timepieces. The dollar watch became synonymous with accessibility, democratizing timekeeping for people from all walks of life.

💰 Ingersoll's commitment to affordability and quality resonated with millions, with nearly 40 million dollar watches sold within two decades. Their impact was so profound that even president Theodore Roosevelt, during his African expedition, was recognized as "the man from the country where Ingersoll was produced."

💯 Ingersoll's legacy transcended mere timepieces; it became a cultural phenomenon. Their famous tagline, "The watch that made the dollar famous!" echoed across generations, cementing their place in horological history.

Larry Fink’s New Climate Goal Larry Fink’s letter has landed The BlackRock chief’s annual letter to C.E.O.s is going out this morning and Andrew has a copy, which he writes about in his latest column. Mr. Fink’s letter has driven the conversation inside corporate America’s boardrooms for years — such as his proclamation that companies must have a purpose beyond profit, which preceded the Business Roundtable’s statement on stakeholder capitalism, and his call for corporate climate disclosures, which was followed by a raft of climate pledges by companies. Now, he’s pushing out the goal posts on climate action, asking companies to “disclose a plan for how their business model will be compatible with a net-zero economy.” He defines this as limiting global warming to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial averages and eliminating net greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. With nearly $9 trillion of investments, BlackRock has a lot of influence. Last year, the firm voted against 69 companies and against 64 directors for climate-related reasons, and it put 191 companies “on watch.” BlackRock is planning to create “a temperature alignment metric for our public equity and bond funds, where sufficient data is available,” and Mr. Fink added that the firm would start new products “with explicit temperature alignment goals, including products aligned to a net-zero pathway.” This could have the same effect for investors as a calorie count on a menu for diners, a nudge toward making more informed choices. In the future, big public pension funds and other investors could have firms like BlackRock create custom indexes for them based on such data. Critics say that Mr. Fink isn’t moving fast enough and still owns $85 billion of assets tied to coal. But much of that investment is in passive index funds that it can’t divest; the firm said it was working behind the scenes with coal companies to encourage them to adopt cleaner technologies. What about investment performance? Mr. Fink said that sustainability-oriented funds outperformed market benchmarks last year, especially during the worst of the pandemic downturn. “The more your firms are seen to embrace the climate transition and the opportunities it brings,” he wrote to C.E.O.s, “the more the market will reward your firms with higher valuations.” HERE’S WHAT’S HAPPENING Janet Yellen is confirmed as Treasury secretary. The Senate approved President Biden’s nominee in an 84-15 vote, making her the first woman to hold the position (when she became Fed chair, she was the first woman in that role, too). European leaders take center stage at the World Economic Forum. Panels at the virtual summit today will discuss stakeholder capitalism, climate change and a post-pandemic world. Featured speakers include Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission; Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany; and President Emmanuel Macron of France. New York City’s biggest pension funds will divest fossil fuel stocks. Two funds voted to divest an estimated $4 billion in energy stocks from their portfolios, while a third is expected to approve a similar move soon. Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech rush to protect against new Covid-19 strains. The drug manufacturers said they were studying ways to alter their coronavirus vaccines after news that the treatments were less effective against a new variant found in South Africa. In other Covid-19 news, Merck withdrew its vaccine candidates after disappointing trials. Silicon Valley donors’ new focus: recalling California’s governor. Top executives like Doug Leone of Sequoia have given thousands of dollars to a once quixotic campaign to unseat Gov. Gavin Newsom, amid dissatisfaction over his handling of the pandemic and tax policies. Another frequent critic, the financier Chamath Palihapitiya, just announced that he is running for governor. Epstein ties cost Leon Black his C.E.O. job Leon Black, the billionaire co-founder of Apollo Global Management, said yesterday that he would retire as chief executive by July 31. The announcement follows an internal investigation into The Times’s revelation that he had paid the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein millions in consulting fees. Mr. Black gave tens of millions more to Mr. Epstein than previously known. The company’s investigation into the two men’s relationship, conducted by the law firm Dechert at Apollo’s request, found that Mr. Black had paid Mr. Epstein $158 million from 2012 to 2017 for tax advice, double what The Times’s previous report had found. Mr. Black also lent Mr. Epstein, who died by suicide in jail in 2019, over $30 million. The report asserted that there was no evidence Mr. Black took part in any of Mr. Epstein’s criminal activities. What Mr. Epstein did for Mr. Black: The biggest project, according to the Dechert report, was helping Mr. Black with so-called GRATs, trusts that let families pass wealth to future generations without paying any estate taxes. (The Times has previously explained how the Trump family also made use of the tactic.) Over all, Mr. Black reckoned that Mr. Epstein’s work saved perhaps $2 billion in taxes. The relationship created a rift between Mr. Black and a longtime partner. Josh Harris, another of Apollo’s founders, argued that the ties to Mr. Epstein showed “poor judgment,” and he tried unsuccessfully to convince fellow board members that Mr. Black should step down immediately, citing the risk of reputational damage to Apollo, Matt Goldstein and Katie Rosman of The Times report. It’s unclear how much will change. Apollo’s new C.E.O. is Marc Rowan, the firm’s third co-founder, who built Apollo’s $300 billion insurance business but had largely stepped away last year. Mr. Black is staying on as Apollo’s chairman and will keep his seat on the firm’s three-member executive committee. Apollo announced moves that could dilute Mr. Black’s power, including adding four independent directors to its board and eliminating the firm’s super-voting stock, giving each investor one vote apiece. “Too many people have fought too hard in too many places for freedom of speech to be suppressed by this awful woke orthodoxy.” — Rupert Murdoch, whose media empire includes Fox News, in a speech accepting a lifetime achievement award. Exclusive: Billion-dollar golf carts Ingersoll Rand has tapped Goldman Sachs to run a sale of its Club Car golf cart unit in a deal that could fetch more than $1.5 billion, DealBook has learned. It’s already begun to talk to corporate buyers about a potential deal. Representatives for Ingersoll Rand and Goldman declined to comment. A focus on industrial equipment. The private equity firm KKR is a large shareholder in Ingersoll Rand, an industrial giant with a market cap of about $18 billion that specializes in compressors, pumps and power tools. It has owned Club Car since 1995, when it acquired the business through a $1.3 billion deal for its parent company, Clark Equipment. Ingersoll Rand is now exploring a sale of Club Car to focus on its core industrial businesses. “Personal utility vehicles.” Georgia-based Club Car produced the first golf cart with a steering wheel in the 1960s. Its carts, which sell at $7,000 to $25,000, can be decked out with features like Bluetooth speakers and GPS technology to measure the distance to the pin on a golf course. The golf cart industry, worth $1.2 billion annually, is expected to grow at an average of less than 2 percent over the next few years, according to Ibis World, with cart makers looking for new markets, like gated communities and campus security. ‘The law is frozen’ Ben Cohen — of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream fame — is fired up about a judicial doctrine called qualified immunity, which shields police officers from liability for wrongdoing with few exceptions. “It’s a clear example of injustice and contributes to a lack of trust in police,” Mr. Cohen told DealBook. “In any other organization, everybody is accountable for their actions.” Qualified immunity was created by judges. It’s not written in a statute but developed in Supreme Court precedent, starting in 1967, ostensibly to balance between police accountability and protection. The doctrine severely limits victims’ ability to hold officers accountable for even extreme misconduct. Since the killing of George Floyd raised public attention to police brutality, a coalition of business leaders, artists, athletes, activists and advocacy groups have joined a movement called the Campaign to End Qualified Immunity. Today, they are launching a 100-day awareness effort aimed at pressuring lawmakers to end the legal protection. “The law is frozen,” Mr. Cohen said. It’s a rare issue that puts progressives and conservatives on the same page. Mr. Cohen — who is planning to release a book about immunity with the rapper and activist Killer Mike — said he was pleasantly surprised by the diverse alliances around the issue, uniting groups like the libertarian Cato Institute and the liberal American Civil Liberties Union. Last year, Representative Ayanna Pressley, Democrat of Massachusetts, joined with Justin Amash, then a Republican-turned-Independent congressman from Michigan, on a bill to eliminate qualified immunity. It didn’t survive. “With momentum and support for ending this unjust doctrine evident nationwide, we must meet the moment and show the political courage to get it done,” Ms. Pressley said in a statement to DealBook. THE SPEED READ Deals Qualtrics, a survey software provider, is seeking a valuation of up to $15 billion in its I.P.O., nearly double what SAP paid for the company two years ago. (Reuters) The owner of the Boston Red Sox has reportedly called off talks to sell a stake to a SPAC founded by the financier Gerry Cardinale and the former Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane. (Axios) Politics and policy The Treasury Department resumed efforts to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill, reviving an initiative that President Donald Trump had halted. (NYT) Republican operatives are reportedly considering pushing company executives to give money to political candidates personally to make up for a potential drop in corporate funds. (CNBC) Tech A growing number of companies are finding ways to use blockchains to avoid relying on a central authority, making them harder to shut down. (NYT) The most prominent unionization drive among Amazon workers will take place next month in Alabama, a state not known for union-friendly laws.

A look back at Mickey Mouse, as the comic strip turns 90 - hollywood

A mouse, dressed like the aviator Charles Lindbergh, is building a plane, and dreaming of being a great pilot. He takes his girlfriend with him on his first flight. But then comes obstacle after obstacle — his girlfriend is swept out and away, a storm approaches; the mouse ends up on a desert island, where natives decide to cook him alive. Mickey fights them all off single-handedly.That was the first-ever Mickey Mouse comic strip, printed in The New York Daily Mirror 90 years ago, on January 13, 1930. Even though Steamboat Willie, the first animated film on the mouse, catapulted Walt Disney to fame in 1928, it was the comic strip that triggered international fame for Mickey Mouse—primarily because of the very limited reach of films.The comic strip also kicked off demand for merchandise and marked the first major success for the animator Walt Disney, and his eponymous company. By 1931, the comic was already being published in 40 newspapers across the US and about 20 other countries.And Mickey was a mouse for his era. By this time, with the US stock market in freefall, unemployment booming and America’s image before the world shaken, Mickey quickly became — and was moulded to be — a Depression-era hero. An upbeat EveryMouse who cheerfully faced whatever odds came his way, and as cheerfully conquered adversity.Over time, he would fight pirates and Nazis, solve mysteries, go on adventures. His girlfriend, Minnie Mouse, played a growing role; as did his arch-nemesis, a giant cat named Pete.

Over time, Mickey grew to fight pirates and Nazis, solve mysteries, go on adventures. But because of the limited reach of movies in the early years, it was the comic strip that marked the first major success for the animator Walt Disney and his eponymous company. In fighting his own and his girlfriend’s battles, he would sometimes be despondent, or hopeless, but it never lasted long. He always saw the upside, bounced back and found a way to go on.By 1933, Mickey had become Disney’s best travelling salesman — and the merchandising had begun. The mouse saved the Ingersoll-Waterbury watch company during the Depression. Ingersoll bounced back from near-bankruptcy at the same time that Walt Disney was struggling to make profits, and they did this by working together to create Mickey Mouse clocks. They’re still making them, under the Ingersoll-Timex brand, for use in nursery rooms around the world.With the clocks, the floodgates were opened and next came push-button Mickey telephones, and stationery; kids’ apparel, bags, water bottles, tiffin boxes... anything a child might use, had to have Mickey on it. In India, by the 1980s, nearly every kid either yearned for or delighted in a Mickey Mouse cake at their birthday party.At its peak, the Mickey Mouse phenomenon was powering movies, merchandise and a first-of-its-kind theme park — Disney World, opened in Florida in 1971. Then came an early boom in animation. Children had more to choose from, including other Disney characters like Donald, Daffy and Goofy. By 1983, Mickey Mouse movies felt it necessary to mix in some of these characters to stay relevant.

Mickey is still around, largely as a nostalgic throwback. In 2018, Mickey and gang together brought in $3 billion in merchandise sales. But Toy Story 3 alone made nearly $10 billion in merchandise sales in the same year.As Mickey sales and popularity continued their decline in the US, the comic department of Mickey Mouse was shut in 1990. In 1995, it became official. The Mickey Mouse ears were dropped from the Disney logo, in favour of the Disney castle. The company, which had partnered with Pixar by this time, wanted their brand to evoke a sense of imagination and fantasy. And Mickey wasn’t it.Then came the big boom in computer graphics imagery, 3D animation, and the animation box office. Disney stepped up, expanded. It bought Marvel Entertainment in 2009, adding Spider-Man, Black Panther, Star Wars and now Coco, Moana and Frozen to their catalogue.Mickey & Friends slipped quietly out of the wings. They still make Disney money in merchandising. In 2018, Mickey and gang together brought in $3billion in merchandise sales. But Toy Story 3 alone made nearly $10 billion in merchandise sales in the same year. Ninety years later, Mickey is still around — largely as a throwback and an instantly recognisable element of nostalgia.

A model poses with the 3D-printed Micky Mouse Gucci handbag. ( Gucci.com ) Last March, Gucci launched a 3D-printed handbag with Mickey Mouse face, priced at about $4,500 (Rs 3.2 lakh). In December 2018, Apple launched Bluetooth headphones featuring the cartoon print. There’s also Mickey face screensaver option in the Apple Watch.“Mickey Mouse is an interesting case of how merchandise can hurt a comic character,” says Abhijeet Kini, illustrator and comic creator. “Children today know the Mouse as a cartoon on their stationery or apparel, but don’t know the wonderful stories the Mouse narrated.”Disney has also recently collaborated with beauty and skincare brands such as MAC, L’Oreal, Maybelline, The Face Shop and Innisfree to have the character on packaging.But the world has changed, and a white mouse with nothing much to say, well, it’s not that cute anymore.

Waterbury Clock Company Saved by Mickey Mouse – Who Knew?

…that the Ingersoll Waterbury Company (now Timex) was saved from bankruptcy during the Great Depression, in part, by the introduction of the Mickey Mouse watch.

Detail for patent number 1,989,881 a “Time Instrument” granted to James R. Putnam, Waterbury, CT assignor to Waterbury Clock Company, February 5, 1935

Connecticut’s Naugatuck Valley once manufactured millions of clocks and watches, and the Waterbury Clock Company was one of its biggest producers, manufacturing over 20,000 clocks per day by the end of the 19th century. Building on the history of Connecticut’s clock making innovations��from the introduction of mass-produced parts and the design of the first shelf clock, to the introduction of brass movements—the Waterbury Clock Company’s initial success stemmed from their ability to manufacture clock movements small enough to fit in a pocket. Later, in 1892, they introduced a piece known as the Jumbo pocket watch, named for P. T. Barnum’s elephant. But their best-selling item was the “Yankee” pocket watch produced for Robert H. Ingersoll & Bro. which sold for a dollar and appealed to the masses. Consequently, by 1915, Waterbury Clock was the largest clock maker in the United States.

With the advent of World War I, Waterbury Clock continued to place itself at the forefront of innovation when they modified one of Ingersoll’s Ladies’ Midget pocket watches for use by the military. The company added a canvas strap and luminescent numbers that allowed soldiers to easily read the time, giving rise to a new form of timepiece—the wristwatch. Civilians soon wanted them too and the wristwatch became part of the company’s regular product line.

Detail from a June 22, 1933, display advertisement in the Hartford Courant with the prices for the new line of Mickey Mouse clocks and watches from Ingersoll Waterbury Clock

After the war ended, Ingersoll entered bankruptcy protection. The Waterbury Clock Company purchased Ingersoll and became Ingersoll Waterbury Clock. But by 1932 the Great Depression had taken its toll on the new company and it struggled to remain solvent.

Walt Disney Studios was also struggling during this time and looking for new ways to profit off licensing their cartoon character Mickey Mouse. A partnership between Disney and Ingersoll Waterbury then produced one of the most iconic watches in American history. Waterbury Clock Company submitted a patent application on May 22, 1933, for a “Time Instrument . . . in which a picture is associated with the dial.” The patent drawing included an image of Mickey illustrated with moveable arms. The patent was granted to Waterbury Clock Company in 1935 but the Mickey Mouse line had already been introduced to the public back in June of 1933. The watch rolled off a miniature assembly line at the Chicago World’s Fair and on the first day of sales at Macy’s the store sold 11,000 of these highly sought-after watches. The 1933 Sears Christmas Book also offered the watch and within a year and a half the Ingersoll Waterbury Company had sold over two million watches. In 1935 the Hartford Courant reported that Waterbury Clock had added an additional three thousand employees to their staff and the paper gave Mickey Mouse most (if not all) of the credit for this growth. Eventually Waterbury Clock became Timex, and today its corporate headquarters are located in Middlebury, Connecticut.

2019 C.K. Prahalad Award for Global Business Sustainability Leadership Honors TerraCycle’s Loop, With Posthumous Honors to Former Duke Energy CEO, Jim Rogers

CEF presented the 2019 C.K. Prahalad Award in two categories: leadership by a collaboration to TerraCycle’s Loop Shopping Platform; and leadership by an individual executive to former Duke Energy CEO, Jim Rogers. The awards were announced at the 2019 CEF Annual Leadership Retreat, attended by senior executives representing CEF member companies with combined revenues of over $3 trillion. 

TERRACYCLE AND LOOP “Loop” is being honored for forging a revolutionary, circular business model that dramatically reduces waste by transforming how companies package and deliver everyday staples. Loop offers an easy online shopping experience with a big plus: it also takes care of packaging collection and cleaning when the product has been used up, then refills and replenishes the customer’s supply.  

A growing list of the world’s biggest consumer brands are partnering on Loop. Household names including The Clorox Company, PepsiCo, Procter & Gamble, Unilever, Nestlé, Danone—together with retailers Walgreens and Kroger and global logistics powerhouse UPS — are banking on Loop to give customers the products they love while helping them avoid the hassles of trash and recycling. 

To start, Loop will offer about 150 well-known products — things like Tide detergent, Tropicana orange juice Häagen-Dazs ice cream and Clorox Disinfecting Wipes — all in reusable packaging, delivered right to the consumer’s door. After using the products, customers put the empty containers in a specially designed Loop tote on their doorstep, where they are picked up by UPS, cleaned and refilled, then shipped back to consumers over and over. 

Participating companies have made significant investments in creating new stylish, durable packaging designs that can in some cases be reused a hundred times. If those investments prove out, they could lead to a dramatic decrease in single use plastic waste, reduce pressure on insufficient recycling infrastructure and markets, and enable recycling of certain products for the first time. 

Loop’s rollout plan is aggressive. Soon after being announced at the World Economic Forum in January 2019, a pilot of the program began rolling out in Paris and New York, with plans to expand into the London area in late 2019. Launches in Toronto, California and Tokyo are planned in conjunction with the 2020 Summer Olympics. With links to so many well-loved brands and a simple at-home collection interface, Loop can reach customers not traditionally drawn to so-called “green” commerce, leading to economies of scale that could really make a difference. Alan Jope, CEO of Unilever has described this among his company’s reasons for joining Loop, saying the consumer product giant wants “to put an end to the current ‘take-make-dispose’ culture.”  

CEF’s Founder, MR Rangaswami praised TerraCycle and the leading companies who are part of Loop: “It takes courageous leadership to buck the status quo. Loop represents a bold experiment for the consumer goods industry, and we look forward to watching it unfold.”

JIM ROGERS 

The jury for the CK Prahalad Award also honored the legacy of James E. Rogers Jr, former CEO of Duke Energy and a true champion of sustainability, who passed away unexpectedly in December of 2018.

Rogers led by asking those around him to envision a future they may not live to see. He famously applied what he called his “grandfather’s test” – a way to ensure that his actions would have a positive impact on future generations. His life was guided by a philosophy he called “cathedral thinking,” modeled on the builders of medieval churches who knew they would not live to see their work completed but nonetheless tirelessly devoted themselves to the legacy they were creating.  

Rogers translated these values into action every day of his 25 years as a CEO in the utility industry, leading Duke Energy with vision and courage, and growing shareholder value while demonstrating fervent support for sustainable energy. Rogers is perhaps best known for being at the forefront of the electric utility industry in publicly addressing the threat of climate change.  He presented Duke Energy’s Board of Directors with a plan to “decarbonize” the company by 2050, and led Duke’s work to reduce its reliance on coal well ahead of industry peers.

Rogers was one of the first American CEOs to boldly advocate for federal policy to cap the amount of carbon dioxide produced in the United States. To that end, he helped found the U.S. Climate Action Partnership in 2007—a historically important collaboration of leading businesses and environmental groups that laid the groundwork for Congress to consider federal legislation regulating greenhouse gas emissions for the very first time.

Rogers received innumerable industry awards and Newsweek named him one of the "50 Most Powerful People in the World." Yet as impressive as his many accomplishments were, what was especially notable was the way he wielded that power – with a view to the future, with a commitment to humanity, and with kindness and good humor always on display.

Even during his retirement he did not rest, instead turning his attention to those in need and focusing his efforts on providing rural people in low-income nations access to clean, sustainable electricity, as documented in his book, “Lighting the World: Transforming Our Energy Future by Bringing Electricity to Everyone.”  

CEF Chair, P.J. Simmons, added “Jim Rogers inspired so many of us personally, and set the bar high for what exceptional sustainable private sector leadership looks like. We are honored to have the opportunity to shine a light on Jim’s extraordinary life and legacy.”
