Uniform Wares does a great job with minimalist design as shown with their upcoming 200 Series Calendar Wristwatch. One can’t go wrong with the simplicity of the design, which is inspired by the machine gauges and equipment found in leather production plants.
This timepiece features an aircraft grade stainless steel case in either PVD coated, brushed or polished finish, Italian calf leather strap and Swiss made 7 jewel, ETA calender movement.
Available early this Autumn from Uniform Wares.
After a few previews, the HNDSM Jewelry Line is ready to launch this Monday August 30th. The Jewelry Line will be the first collection from HNDSM, which will be followed by some new projects including a basics line that is being produced in Canada.
HNDSM Jewelry is all made in Canada from the best materials we could get our hands on. We’ve put together a small line of thought out pieces inspired by the abstract philosophies that keep our minds healthy.
Check out our interview with Faux Magazine for some insight into the coming line.
You can follow the brand on Facebook and check out the line at HNDSM.com where the online store will be launching after the weekend.
Scosha is a collection of jewelry from Schosha Woolridge, the Australian designer who is now based in Williamsburg, NYC. She’s put together a great collection of pieces for boys and girls with some excellent storytelling intertwined.
One of our favourite pieces is the M4N (pictured), which is a necklace of several details and the inscription “Thou Am What Thou Do”. She has a talent with words; each phrase open to your interpretation and adoption.
Scosha is available at many international stockists as well as the Scosha NYC Online Shop.
Check out a couple of our favoured pieces ahead.
There’s been several super cool looking iPad cases since the device’s dimensions were revealed, but few compete with the functional design of the Apple iPad Case. It’s slim, light and most importantly lets your iPad sit in multiple, useful positions.
We came across the competition. Hard Graft has come out with an equally functional piece with a little more character. The case functions as a stand is composed of felt and leather in Hard Graft’s traditionally tasteful and minimalist approach to casing.
It’s available in Hard Graft’s Online Shop.
More pictures ahead.
We came across Erica Weiner Jewelry this week and were happy to see some creative pieces combined with a socially responsible company based out of New York City. The line focuses in on craftsmanship and affordability (you won’t find a piece over $100), enabled by a team of well taken care of friends.
One of our favourite pieces is the Penknife Necklace, which features an operational one inch penknife as a pendant on a thin twenty four inch brass chain. You can check out the fine details including brass rivets and a tiny notch for opening the knife with your fingernail.
Aside from the vintage inspired pieces, we were especially drawn to the company in one line off their site. “Thanks for supporting us–you’ve given us the freedom to sustain ourselves financially and creatively.”
Erica Weiner Jewelry is available in their Online Shop and The Drake General Store.
The HNDSM Jewelry line is coming together and here’s a preview of two more pieces that will be included in the collection. The pieces are currently in the works, and soon, the whole line will be available in our Online Shop this summer.
We’re looking forward to your thoughts on the future of HNDSM. We’ll keep you updated with news on our next concept collection, jewelry and more pieces from the coming HNDSM line.
In Surface 2 Air’s ongoing jewelery collection, we recently came across the Silver Pearl Medal of Honor Necklace, which makes for an interesting piece using a variety of finishes and materials. The chain and pendants combine silver, oxidized silver and a little pearl for a nice piece for girls or boys.
One of our previous favourites, the Three Finger C ring, is now available in gold (pictured ahead). We especially like the C ring as it’s a more comfortable option than the open three finger ring.
Both are available through OAK NYC.
If you are into timepieces and outer space, we came across something interesting that involves both. The Omega Speedster is a watch used by a few of the first American astronauts on Apollo missions, which was a trend started by Edward Higgins White II. Ed White wore the piece on a spacewalk during the Gemini IV Mission, which is pictured above.
Omega says that they didn’t even know that astronauts were using the Speedmaster watch until they saw a picture of Ed White on the cover of Life Magazine wearing the piece over his space suit. You can see the original watch ahead, which was sold at an auction for $34,500.
The good people at Need Supply Co. have recently blessed the blogosphere with a brief history lesson on Ray Ban’s classic and timeless Wayfarer. With countless copycats running amuck, its good to know there’s still love to be given to one of the grandfathers of cool.
VIA Need Supply Co.
“Since it’s creation in 1952, the shape of Ray-Ban’s Wayfarer has become an icon by itself. You can find it’s impostors hidden in the seas of other impostors. But when it comes to timeless style and design, the Wayfarer is a piece of fashion and history that transcends any fad.”
In their Spring/Summer collection, Visvim, has included a phenomenal collection of fishing lures. The Japanese brand has put together six different colourways, which incorporate a variety of bird feathers. It’s one of the most exceptional accessories we’ve come across this season and all six pieces are impressive.
All colourways ahead.
They’re available at Hiroshi Fujiwara’s online store, Honeyee.com
