Visualize in your mind, for just a moment, a scarf blowing in the wind. Seriously, just do it!  Now look at the VEY yacht and you’ll instantly see the inspiration behind its sweeping, elegant form. The “wings” of this ultimate entertainer’s vessel are visually striking yet functional as they provide shelter from the elements at the aft. In contrast, the exposed bow is perfect for sunbathing, dining, dancing, or having your own Jack and Rose Titanic moment.

This Bag’s Got Swag!

Posted: 18 Apr 2013 08:02 AM PDT

The Swag Bag is a modular backpack that promises to protect your gear come rain, snow or shine. You can safely tuck in your MacBook, iPad, Nook or books and not worry about the elements, because this Swag is crafted from silicone and fitted with waterproof zippers. The best part is that in case you drop it, your gadgets inside are completely safe and cushioned from the impact.

Another bright side is the modular functionality. The backpack is multi-purpose, with interchangeable interior capsules, so you can carry your gadgets or make an easy switch to your gym gear capsule and hit the gym. The photography capsule comes with dedicated spaces to keep your camera and lenses safe. Essentially it's a backpack for anyone and everyone, and if you think this Swag is just what you need, then you are in luck, its up at Quirky for voting. Who knows your casting vote could turn this concept to reality and spread some more cheers!

Spelling The Death Of Gadget Clutter

Posted: 18 Apr 2013 07:06 AM PDT

LifeHub is a paradox in many ways, on one hand it marks the birth of an innovative concept and on the other hand it spells the death of many! In a nutshell, LifeHub is a Watch, Smartphone, Headset, Key, Wallet, Bluetooth Speaker and Projector, all rolled into one. By investing in this one item, you end up eliminating the need for eight individual devices, thus saving up on space and resources. Sounds interesting? Read on….

  • LifeHub is a Watch, the Memory polymer and a bendable OLED screen creates a stylish and secure bracelet that tells you the time. Messages, weather or music, get them all here.
  • LifeHub is a Smartphone, bend the bracelet into a candy bar where the simplest of interfaces; make video calls by bending just the bottom half of the device and setting it on a surface. Apps, contacts, messages, email, games, media, and feeds greet you in high definition and with stereo sound.
  • LifeHub is a Headset, two discreet Bluetooth earpieces with microphones are secured in the device and have to be snapped off to use as a headset. While snapped in, they function as an earpiece + microphone or external stereo speakers when activated.
  • LifeHub is a Key that is password protected and programmable. They work with physical locks enabled with LifeHub access. The Key also doubles up as a data transfer device.
  • LifeHub is a Wallet that stores Credit Card and Debit Card data from several cards.
  • LifeHub is a Speaker that docks into the base to become portable audio speakers with rich bass. The device is also automatically backed up when docked.
  • LifeHub is a Projector that is motion controlled in both flat and tilted positions.
  • LifeHub is recharged on a charging pad and can function as your alarm clock, notepad, game center, message panel and weather station. It can even play you Internet radio!

The WELDED Table, a Red Dot Design Award Best of the Best recipient, leaves little to be desired in both substance and aesthetic. The design is based around the use of a minimal amount of material and simplified construction process. The tridimensional shape of the legs is achieved with a near-invisble weld that gives it a sleek, refined look while providing structural strength. Loving it in neon!

McQueen, Gatsby and Rearden Flying Tourbillon Watches

Posted: 18 Apr 2013 12:00 AM PDT

With BaselWorld just round the bend, we are seeing a lot of innovative watches making an appearance. The ones that really get me ticking are the ones with movements that are special. For example the three new editions to the Project 2 Watches by Refined Hardware: McQueen, Gatsby and Rearden Editions. All three of them host a Flying Tourbillon and come in three distinctive versions.

In horology, a tourbillon is an addition to the mechanics of a watch escapement that aims to counter the effects of gravity. This is done by mounting the escapement and balance wheel in a rotating cage, to negate the effect of gravity, especially when the timepiece (thus the escapement) is stuck in a certain position. Rather than being supported by a bridge, or cock, at both the top and bottom, the flying tourbillon is cantilevered, being only supported from one side.

The McQueen Edition PVD Black Tourbillon, The Gatsby Edition Steel Tourbillon and The Rearden Bronze Tourbillon are all limited to 33 pieces only. The watches are on a made-to-order basis only and really very exclusive.

Specs for the watches include a 42-hour power reserve, Sapphire crystal cover and 45 mm case. You can pick your choice of bracelet as it depends on each variant, however the watch comes in sexy steel hinged, pure carbon fiber box!

McQueen Edition Specs: Manual wind flying tourbillon with a silver hand perlage finish, black PVD finished case that is finished in steel, black ion plated grade 5 titanium, water resistance – 5 atm, adjustable PVD steel mesh or Black American Alligator strap.

Gatsby Edition Specs: 316l Stainless steel case paired with an adjustable steel mesh or Black American Alligator strap. Rest is same as the McQueen Edition.

Rearden Edition Specs: Manual wind flying tourbillon with a gold hand perlage finish, untreated pure bronze case fitted with a 35 mm sapphire crystal. Rest is same as the McQueen Edition.
