Victorinox Night Vision Watch with Rescue Function
Victorinox, the quintessential purveyor of multi-function tools has just released a brand new multi-function tool designed not for your pocket but for your wrist. The Night Vision watch sports a handsome, classic design that belies it multi-functional capabilities; the stainless steel case is complemented by the pearl white dial with small hits of red adding some color to the monochromatic design. Inside is a Ronda 705 quartz movement with date calendar function for superlative accuracy. Timekeeping functionality aside, the watch packs in a host of LED’s for a variety of functions and situations. A blue LED at the top of the watch provides illumination for low-light situations, a red LED that serves as both an end-of-life indicator for the battery and helps with locations services, and finally a white LED that serves as both a flashlight and strobe light for emergencies. Considering all the functionality packed into its 42mm case, the watch is very reasonably priced at $700 USD and is available at Victorinox boutiques where it will also be offered with a slate grey dial and various strap options.

KAWS Wraps MTA Subway Train Inside and Out for Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
How the tables have turned…
KAWS was started out a former graffiti artist turned gallery artist, enemy to the MTA, now has an entire train officially covered in his art, riding through the city.
New York artist Kaws surprises us every time. Months ago first news came out that he would be the 5th living artist (the others being Takashi Murakami, Tim Burton, Jeff Koons, and Tom Otterness) to have a balloon in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. But it all goes a little further – Kaws also created artworks to wrap a full MTA Subway Train inside and out in his art, to promote the parade.

J. L. Lawson & Co. : The Cell 6061-T6 Machined Survival Kit
The Campaign:
A year ago we came up with the idea to machine a water resistant container to be used for a basic survival essentials kit. After manually machining one we found that it would be way to costly to do so we shelved the idea. We dusted off the idea recently and decided to get some CNC quotes to have The Cell manufactured instead of manually machined by us. We love this piece and think that you will too but we don’t have the capital to meet the minimums required for CNC production.
The achievement:
Our main objective is to get this piece in your hands at a reasonable price. Whatever disaster or apocalyptic scenario (we lean towards zombie apocalypse obviously) you might believe in, everyone should be prepared. The Cell is the perfect way to get started and looks pretty amazing at the same time. Help us help you.

The Rise of the Second Screen
Where will the reach of the Internet invade next? Those of us who love our television programs are increasingly watching them with our mobile devices in hand. We use them to find information related to things we’ve seen, and connect on our favorite social networks, like Facebook and Twitter. More and more shows are realizing that they’re losing people during the advertisements, when people are most likely to search the web, or interact on their mobile; which is changing the way we watch television.

Recycled Can Sculptures by Makaon
Japanese artist Makaon creates fantastic pop culture artworks using recycled cans.
“…Macaon used a healthy mixture of both recycled beer and soda cans. This is quite apparent in pieces like the Mario character, which looks to be crafted from mostly Coca-Cola cans with a mixture of both Coke zero and the classic good stuff. ”

G-Shock has released the new GLS-100 winter sport watch. Designed for winter sports, and the extreme elements that come with the territory, the watch makes use of some very rugged components to ensure that it keeps ticking away even as the mercury dips down to -20 degrees Celsius. A low temperature LCD will continue to display the time and date where a normal LCD would freeze. The watchband utilizes Cordura and synthetic leather, ensuring that the watch will always stay strapped on. Available in olive, khaki, matte black and white colorways, the GLS-100 will be available starting this month with a Japan release followed later by a global release. I’ll be picking one of these up before snowboard trip to Canada next year.
