Someone asked me the other day if there would be a time when watches would no longer be worn. In the era of technology it's easier to just look at your phone. However, I don't think that watches will lose their purpose anytime soon. Watches are not only used to tell time but also to accessorize your style.
This fall if you're looking for a watch that is not only stylish but puts another twist on telling time to give it's unique style, then the
Nooka - ZAZ watch is for you. The
ZAZ model ($350) doesn't show the time like any other watch, instead of using numbers like on digital watches. It uses 24 bars to indicate hours and 60 bars for the minutes, filling each one according to the specific time over a transparent screen, which gives the illusion of displaying the bars right over your arm. So if you're looking for something different and futuristic then this watch is definitely for you. The watch comes in three different versions; they have it in black and white with leather bands or steel mesh ones.
So begins the slow descent into the days where our evenings become darker and the sunsets become a haven of beautiful colors. With this realization the only thing I can think of to match that feeling would be a new Playlist to fill your ears with music that matches the harvest sunsets. Lastly, here are some recommendations on some new finds like
Goyte,
Korallreven,
Ghost Town DJ's and more.. that you should check out.

If you've ever wanted to know what some of the fun and slick no handed bike moves are, well then your in luck.
Ninian Doff has created a professional display of 50 No Handed Bike Moves, performed to "
Golden Tree" by
Martin Brooks. So the next time your cycling around with your friends you can show them your new found cool and useful no handed moves. My favorites are ‘The Wind Check’, ‘The No Big Deal’ and ‘The Drummer’. For now though, I'll be working on my sweet moves while sitting at my desk. Check out more of Ninian Doff work

Matthew Lim, a recent grad student has created the EcoVinyl ($350), a turntable-headphone duo made from sustainable materials. This was created to help
Sennheiser a German audio company boast their branding and draw in a younger crowd with this product. The company has already introduced sustainable packaging so how about taking it to the next step with sustainable products.
Lim created this duo by choosing high-density fiberboard, which is often used in audio-system closure boxes. He used cork for the turntable and the earphone headband; and aluminum, which he CNC'd to produce a durable body. This ready-to-go set has a small carbon footprint with 45% fiberboard, which is recyclable and biodegradable. The metal body that it comes in can easily be removed with an Allen wrench and recycled. This product however is still a concept and Sennheiser has yet to commit to Lim's project. Either way, do you think this would help the company change it's branding to a younger crowd? Seeing how the company has been around for 60 years and only about 10% of headphone consumers knows who this company is. Leave a comment, would like to see what you think.

The Morten family was looking to redesign a barn but were unable to do find any. So what was the next thing they could do? They built a summer house in Gotland, Sweden, which was just as simple as a barn. The 64-square-foot home was built with just one single room with two sleeping boxes at each end of the house. Being that the house is just one single room. I think they did a great job on utilizing the space that was available to them. What do you think?
This is the first radio I think I have come across that is made of cardboard and is a fully functional radio/mp3 input player. Did I mention also that this radio is fully recyclable, No! The
Cardboard Radio ($34) was designed by
Christopher McNicholl with the intent to manufacture a design that would make a more green approach once the product had met its end.
The internals of the radio are housed in a simple cardboard structure and the
device itself is also minimally designed, which is somewhat appealing from a
design standpoint. It’s powered by 4 AA batteries or DC power (power
adapter not included). It also comes with two nice retro dials and an audio
jack to allow you to hook up your mp3 player or smartphone.

Damon Sheeley of
The Bear and The Sea had released a couple of months ago his remix of Common's
"I Used to Lover H.E.R." with the intention of slowly creating and releasing a handful of selected remixes as a FREE release. It was a tribute to the hip hop world through his hazy instrumentals that give a filter feel to his tracks. So here it is thanks to
Nueva Forma the new EP
Everything is Everything.
