Armin Strom will present this Skeleton Square Man watch in addition to the Elements watch line at Basel later this month. Skeletonization has certainly been on the radar of many this season, and the trend continues to evolve. This watch is pleasant looking take on open faces and skeletonization. The Skeleton Square takes a fashionably designed 18k white gold rectangular case with engraved sides, and very unique proportions as a frame for the decorated movement.
Inside is a hound-wound Armin Strom ASM09 calibre that is lovingly decorated in a very traditional manner. As there is so much detail to appreciate on the watch face, Armin Strom chose to add an AR coating to the sapphire crystal, making it easier to view. The point of this watch is to combine a modern looking architecturally-themed case with a classically decorated movement - it makes its point well. You do get the impression that a watch like this is made for an appreciative audience, rather than for just any watch lover though. This is ok, because taking the time to study the finer points of this watch allows you to respect the various talents used to create it. Insofar that the Skeleton Square Man watch is a showpiece of fine watch making, I respect its placement in the horological community. The watch is attached to a black alligator strap with a matching white gold buckle. Look for it soon.

Turkish designers seem to inherit the ancient culture and mystery of their nation. Take for example Iskender Asanaliev who is a Turk and a bloody good designer. He has designed an awesome watch that which is called the ON AIR Wrist Watch. It displays time in analogue and digital manner both.
The LED display shows the number and the hour position shows the current hour. It is a very minimalist and sweet design that would please anyone who doesn’t like flashy and gaudy watches. If you press the centre of the display for five seconds, you can set the time and the mechanism is rather simplistic too.
In my opinion, this watch is not only beautiful but also serves the purpose without clogging the user’s mind with a number of features which are never used in reality. Iskender Asanaliev certainly knows how to design things that are pretty and chic. This is a strangely simple phone that strikes your mind without any mercy.

Mansory Veyron LINEA Vincero is one of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen. The LINEA Vincero comes with a carbon fiber and aluminium exterior which make it look rather shiny and glamorous. What you certainly would notice are the excellent aero properties and turbine style wheels that look great and stylish.
The Veyron also comes with great and supple leather interiors and if you have known something about luxury, you would most certainly agree that leather is something that catapults a vehicle into the glamour arena. It is spruced up with ambient LED lighting and the 1,001 banshee power is enough to take you into a journey of decadence and luxury.
It also has an amazing horsepower of 8 and you would definitely have the time of your life, when you drive the awesome monster. It would surely cost a load of money and hence be prepared and do not look surprised when it causes a dent in your bank account.

If you are one of those forever craving for a utility coffee table that occupies less space too, then the Case Coffee Table is the right furniture addition for you. As the name suggests, this table sits in a case because of its very impressive ‘foldability’. Believe it or not, but you can use this table and just fold it back to fit in the case shown in the picture. A great way to downsize the unit and store in a little corner and have as much space as you want for your tiny cramped modern room.
Yes, we do agree that the hinges on the legs are no particularly sleek and might even be defined as clunky but let’s admit, it’s a great idea. Jokes apart, imagine how convenient it will be to use this table when more than a few guests pop up and your regular coffee table fall short to serve all. Poof! You simply bring out your wooden case and pop comes out this wonder table.
Made from birch wood, the Case Coffee Table can hold up to 100 lbs of weight. It owes its strength to the fact that it is hand made in California. Coming with a 2 year warranty, it is definite must-have. Price tag says $179.
