Chapter Two from Maȋtres du Temps is a stylish watch that has just been launched to an appreciative crowd. It comes with a state of the art movement and a triple calendar. It even comes with central hours and the diamond cut golden hands indicate the time for you to know. The watch comes in a 18 carat gold case which is luxurious enough itself.
With about 32 jewels, this is by far the best watch I have come across this week. However, the watch borders on being garish and bright, and might look good only in dimly lit restaurants. If you plan to wear it to a well lit and bright party, chances are the watch will outshine you and you would end up looking either dull or stupid.

If you are the kind of person who would like to collect things related to human and animal histories, you would most certainly be interested in bones, art, fossils and the like. Here is a diamond which apparently came to earth when a meteor struck our planet long time ago. This was when South America and Africa were connected to each other. The diamond is being sold at $2,100 and is a Carbonado rough diamond.
This discovery further supports the idea and belief that carbonados are from outer space. While the mysteries get solved by modern science, you can buy this lovely piece of diamond for yourself and for your family as a heirloom. You could also buy it as an investment as many decades later people would offer millions just to be able to take it back to the lab and conduct one of those scientific studies.

Brazilian pop artist Romero Britto was donated a Bentley Continental GT. What he did was paint the whole goddamned car with blue, purple, pink and other bright colours which could easily offend teh usual Bentley clientele who are prim, sophisticated and conservative. However, the very idea behind such colourful representations of art by pop artists is to shock the sensibilities of the bourgeoisie and make them think.
In my opinion, Britto’s work on the Continental GT is something that is awe inspiring and totally urban street chic. Britto will exhibit this car and other works in an upcoming exhibition Automobil Forum Unter den Linden in Germany from July 10 to September 6.

There was something really adventurous and rebellious about the 60s. There was the civil rights movement, stonewall protests and gay lib. Whatever the protests and movements were, they were also reflected in the art and culture of that period. You could bring back those rebellious days back to the new millennium by getting yourself the Scoop TV Table being sold by Heals.
It is a cool and stylish way to display your TV just like the hep 60s people used to. It comes in awesome space age colours and materials and is manufactured with the help of lacquered white body and grey glass shelf. The table itself is perched on the top of a chrome pedestal base.

If you are a Street Fighter fan, you would love the Gen-Ryu’s proposal for a hybrid motorcycle. It is based in genesis, the famous motorcycle launched by Yamaha. It comes with the latest electronic control techniques and comes with a really sophisticated technology and electric motor.
The idea is to provide the user an experience that brings the advantages of a scooter with the handling of a motorcycle. It is made of die-cast lightweight aluminium and runs at a power which can be compared to other 1,000cc class motorcycles. The idea behind the motorcycle may not be Ryu, the eponymous hero of Street Fighter.

People usually feel saddened when flowers dry and wither away. It suggests their own ageing process and the fleeting period of youth when we blossom and then begin to wither and dry out. While natural ageing may not be controlled by us, we can at least buy flowers that don’t wither away, and that which are not plastic. allencompanyinc on Etsy has launched Fig Rose Bouquet which comes with 24 roses.
These roses are made from 100% cotton and can be easily cleaned with vacuum cleaners. They have been wrapped on real branches using silver wires. This rose would last for hundreds of years and can be used as a family heirloom.

Designer Svilen Gamolov has announced his Snake Bar Stool concept. The stool is radically designed and resembles a hissing snake ready to strike at the challenged with a vicious and fatal poisonous bite. You would actually sit on the hood of this supposed snake and when you are drunk enough you could regale yourself and others with all the creepy tales about how snakes could just crawl in from one of the pipes in the bar or club.
You could get these stools not only for your restaurant or bar, but they can be used inside the house as well, if you have a bar at home. There is no information about the price or availability since it is still in the conceptual stage.

There have been several complaints about fireworks being either too expensive, or noisy or even too polluting. Moreover you would need license to burn fireworks and you would not necessarily get it every time. What you could instead do is get yourself a Uchiage Hanabi fireworks which has been unveiled by Sega Toys.
It mimics the audio and video of fireworks and thus you could have your own fireworks show right in the living room. It comes with five lenses and projectors which create effects of fireworks based on the kind of fireworks you want. You could choose the colour, type, sound etc.
