Time Travel
Even after a good year or so of solidly classic releases by the oft athletically associated watchmaker (a la “Ironman” digital), people forget that Timex began with classic American watches. They recently upped the style quotient with the release of their Reissue watch ($110-$125). Fresh out of the Mad Men storehouses, this beautiful and extremely [...]
Four-wheelin' fangs
Cectek, known for their badass Quadrift four-wheel motorcycle also has a lesser known, but equally indomitable brother, the KingCobra ATV ($11,000). The four-wheeler features a trail bombing liquid cooled 500 cc engine desiged for optimum performance throughout its powerband and over-enginnered features like extra large disc brakes, locking rear differential, fully-adjustable independent suspension and continuously [...]
This little vacuum sucks, a lot
Dyson’s most recent addition to their dirt destroying lineup, the DC35 ($300) cordless multi floor vacuum includes a digital motor that’s three times faster than conventional motors, a fade-free lithium ion battery, and a detachable long-reach wand (we guess size really does matter…). A fully charged vacuum will provide 15 minutes of constant high suction [...]
Lightweight for your dogs and birdies
Mark Twain said it best, “Golf is a good walk spoiled.” Part of that is the inherently fickle game of golf, the other is from bad footwear. It seems golfers will shell out boat loads for an “anti-slice” driver but will skimp on shoes they’re going to walk hundreds of miles in. There’s no shortage [...]
Kiwi Calculator
New Zealand based Magrette will release their latest timepiece, the Magrette Regattare ($545) this February featuring the company’s signature nautical style — its Panerai-ish design is not a coincidence. Highlights include a domed sapphire crystal, C3 Super Luminova hands and dial, and an internal rotating bezel for prevention of accidental adjustment after calculating remaining dive [...]
Just say no to black bars
Our love for ultra wide-screen displays knows no bounds (case in point: here and here). The problem is, ludicrous price tags and/or cumbersome overseas shopping make the coveted displays a heart crushing prospect to even the most avid peripheral-phile. Enter Vizio and their layman’s attainable solution (think Costco). Announced at CES, the CinemaScope (2.35:1 ratio) [...]
Making Your (Gloved) Digits Useful Again
Touch screens may have revolutionized the way we interact with our phones, but they’ve also f’ed up our relationship with gloves. At least with the old phones, you could mash your way to answering or making a phone call. Plenty of glove makers have devised clever new products that help deal with this issue..but that [...]
It's hip (monetarily) to be...
Throughout history, the retail experience has gone through continual reinvention: barter to coin to paper to plastic – and soon, even cash registers may be considered obsolete. Square is the latest, brilliant, “there’s an app for that!” moment, designed by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey. It’s a postage stamp sized magnetic card reader that attaches to [...]
If Butterbean was a golf pro
Turns out that standard golf hats can be uncomfortable for our bald brethren. Between the rough stitching and the metal button on top, it’s a recipe for skin irritation. Another issue that plagues those without hair is that on hot days perspiration soaks straight into the hat, making it wet and soggy. Now with the [...]
Cool Beans
When you mention boots in the same sentence as L.L. Bean, inevitably a conversation about the Bean Boot follows. However, the recent release of this Handsewn Wedge Sole Boot ($325) may change all that. Each pair is hand sewn in the land of lobstah, made from premium leather, and features a sturdy Vibram sole. These [...]
Compensation to the third power
When it comes to golf, there’s no rest for the weary engineers. The latest volley into the epic battle for longest, baddest driver continues with the upcoming TaylorMade R11. Using a small wrench (included), the driver allows for not one, not two, but three axes of adjustability and customization, which can affect up-to 100 yards [...]
