Diesel Founder Renzo Rosso’s 55th Birthday LIMITED EDITION “This is My Time” DZ4187

For most men, birthdays are irrelevant from the ages of 21 – 40. 21 is the start of everything awesome and 40 is the end. Everything in the middle is just a collection of stories you’ll tell your grandkids if you manage to live to the top of the hill. Renzo Rosso is a man that just so happened to live to the ripe old age of 55 (assuming he makes it to September). Normally this would get filed on the “shit we don’t care about” list, but Renzo Rosso is the man who founded Diesel. In case you haven’t noticed, we’re pretty big fans of their watches. The good folks at Diesel decided to give back by creating the matte black, canvas strap, limited edition This is My Time Watch to celebrate Rosso’s 55th birthday on 9/15. The watch is military grade, high-design so we don’t even care that it was designed for some old dude’s birthday; we want one. $214 (source-coolmaterial)

I use mechanical pencils to produce my predominantly black and white images in an attempt to give my characters a feeling of charm and immediacy.

I am predominantly an illustrator but keep an eye out for updates of my animated work in the near future.

Conceptual Architecture : Public, residential, corporate, educational, mixed-use, religious, retail

As Sanford Kwinter once said, “Concepts are the architecture of hope.” In the modern world, conceptual architecture has only become possible due to modern man’s increasing tendency towards individualisation.

Concepts, in contrast to theories, do not demand absoluteness or intellectual consensus, but rather allow for a playful and singular approach to designing and building.

The works featured in Conceptual Architecture possess sensual and atmospheric qualities that can be attributed to a delicate handling of materials and details. Unlike much conceptual architecture, most of the projects in this book have been realized, a testament to the advances in construction techniques and materials that have enabled these high-concept projects to come to fruition.

Conceptual Architecture is divided into seven sections: Public, Residential, Corporate, Educational, Mixed-use, Religious and Business. Projects include Farnborough Airport, 3DReid (UK); Opera in Copenhagen, Henning Larsen Architects (Denmark); Savannah House, LAM Architects (Netherlands); Leonardo Glass Cube, 3deluxe (Germany); Sagaponca House, Stan Allen Architect (USA); and more.

Paul Smith Fragrance – ‘MAN 2’ Eau De Toilette 50ml

Introducing the new Paul Smith ‘MAN 2′, this is a totally different fragrance to MAN original.

The fragrance itself starts with an invigorating explosion of citrus; grapefruit and mandarin are given a very English touch of Granny Smith apples.

” The spicy heart really warms on the skin with a combination of nutmeg, cardamom and cinnamon and is then softened by touch of lavender and cashmere wood. The sensual woody base is a real cool Paul Smith touch, cedar and sandalwood with the clean note of white musk. ”

The 4N-MVT01/D01/4² model is the first watch released by the brand. Limited to 16 pieces, this emblematic model symbolises the advantages which characterise 4N. While the display and movement are of a mechanical style, the design of the case and details counterbalance the masculine structure of the watch, with flowing lines and marks creating a generous silhouette.

MVT01 is characterised by a manufacturer movement, with a manual winding mechanism and a 12-hour digital display. It is based on a clever configuration of discs rotating in discontinuous mode. Three discs sub-assemblies, made of aluminium or titanium alloys and held in carbon cage structures, are activated to reveal the time on a display which changes as each minute passes (4 discs for the hour, 5 for the minutes and 1 for the tens of minutes). The mechanism uses a constant-force jump system which guarantees minimum energy consumption, regardless of the winding tension.

The patented model solves a number of technical challenges. The original size of the digits (5.5mm) reveals a demanding mechanical design based on a fully manual production process. The movement is the fruit of a complex setting of the disc mechanism, designed to solve problems of equilibrium, inertia and friction in order to obtain optimal movement and consume as little energy as possible. These operational specifications justify the specific materials chosen for their lightness and perfect mechanical performance – carbon, aluminium and titanium.

This model will be available in 18-carat white gold and platinum versions. The dial, covered by a sapphire glass front, frames the bright orange figures. Sapphire glass at the bottom of the case reveals the subtleties of the mechanical movement. The strap, which is available in a range of noble materials, is mounted on the case by an automatic fastening system and its length can be adjusted as necessary. In addition, the model has an easy time setting system which enables the hours to be set independently of the minutes. (source-the watch quote)
