02. Declaration on the Notion of “The Future”

“The International Necronautical Society now entering its eleventh year, the First Committee has recently come under pressure to release, in keeping with the INS’s avant-garde demeanor, some kind of “statement” both assessing the organization’s achievements and prognosticating for its future. Both these impulses we reject.” (Believer).

03. A Slice With: Chef Wolfgang Puck

:Chefs love pizza too. So we’re chatting up chefs from around the country about their favorites, their home-pizzamaking habits, and their beloved childhood pizza memories. Today’s victim: Wolfgang Puck, a legend of California-style pizza.” (Serious Eats).

04. Classic Songs of Louisiana: Aaron Neville’s “Tell It Like It Is”

“As illogical as it sounds, a million-selling record can actually bankrupt the company that manufactures and distributes it. Such was the fate for the hypnotic “Tell It Like It Is.” Prior to recording “Tell It Like It Is,” Aaron Neville was one of many hustling New Orleans R&B singers; “Tell It Like It Is” would become his signature.” (Off Beat).

In the unexpected of collaborations file: Nixon works over a special watch for – get ready – Bergdorf Goodman. I for one am pleasantly surprised at the final product. In fact, this one is a win for both the brand and the retailer. “Nixon and legendary New York retailer, Bergdorf Goodman, have joined forces to release a highly limited edition timepiece on-sale now. The Nixon x Bergdorf Goodman Mellor is available in either all black or brown/gunmetal and features a Swiss automatic movement with 25 jewels, a domed sapphire crystal, a genuine croc band and a custom-engraved caseback. The Nixon x Bergdorf Goodman Mellor retails for $995 USD and is only available at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City.”

This one-off timepiece by Corvus for NY’s FSC has all the right characteristics to make it a success: PVD, limited, and diver. “FSC has partnered with the Corvus Watch Company to create the Bradley Dive Watch.  With a unique attention to detail and focus on US military form & function, Corvus is an ideal partner for FSC. The result is a singular watch that’s incredibly technically precise but feels handmade.  Based on the first 2 legendary dive watches ever commissioned by the US Navy, the 1958 Bulova UDT Prototype and the 1961 Tornek-Rayville TR-900, the Bradley Dive Watch, will be exclusively available at FSC in black PVD limited edition (50 pieces).”

Three new timepieces come forward from Momo Design built around titanium, ceramic, and forged carbon. The 46mm casings shine for all three models. “The Composito, a technological timepiece with a complex structure, is completely decomposable, and made of precious and hi-tech materials…The Composite’s construction is the result of an elaborate design process based on the assembly of 3 principal parts: Case, Lugs and Back frame. The independent lugs are anchored to the back frame with an innovative patented mechanism. The back frame combined with the lugs envelops the case.” Beautiful. (tz)

I love coin holders because I hate loose change. Maybe it is my OCD, but compartmentalizing even one loose quarter keeps me in order. Sounds weird? Yes, it is. These coin holders from Il Bussetto are made in Italy from 100% vegetable tanned leather and come in some dynamic colors. They all look great. Goodhood has them.
