Lensatic Cruiser Compass
A solid compass is one of the most important things a man can own, the lensatic compass is (I think) the best type of compass that exists, ipso facto, every man should own a lensatic compass. Or at least this is how I tried to explain it to my Mrs.
Vinyl Loudspeaker by Paul Cocksedge
This extraordinary vinyl loudspeaker concept from Paul Cocksedge takes now defunct records and moulds them into a dome that has a significant amplification affect on music when you insert a standard iPhone and hit play.

Martini Shaker by Izola

Star Wars All Terrain Scout Transport Blueprints
I don’t know many men who aren’t die hard Star Wars aficionados. In fact come to think of it, I don’t know a single XY chromosome bearer who doesn’t border on the fanatical when it comes to Star Wars appreciation.
TRIWA Herr Judit
The Herr Judit Automatic is a timepiece developed by TRIWA in collaboration with the legendary vintage shop Herr Judit in Stockholm. The style is classic with a dollop of contemporary and it has a look that will quite literally never go out of style.
