Autodromo Monoposto
The Autodromo Monoposto is a watch designed in the spirit of the gauges used in ’60s era Formula 1 cars, in fact, “Monoposto” actually means “single seat” in Italian.
Gear
British Bulldog from Skyfall
Those of us who have seen Skyfall have fond memories of this little fellow from M’s desk, he has a small but surprisingly meaningful role in James Bond’s latest film.
Gilded Age St. Lawrence Alpaca Cardigan
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the cardigan just doesn’t get the respect it deserves anymore.
Swallow Tee by ODFU
ODFU is a new clothing label based in England, its founder is a friendly guy by the name of Kevin Wilson who like many of us, loves motorcycles. “ODFU” actually stands for “one down five up” – the transmission layout on a standard motorcycle.
GORUCK GR1
The GORUCK GR1 is a rucksack designed by a former Green Beret who sat down and spent a couple of years creating the pack he wanted whilst deployed in a war-zone.
Hydrokinetic Adjustable Wrench
The Hydrokinetic Adjustable Wrench is more or less exactly what we thought wrenches would look like in the 21st century
EMS Rescue Knife by Böker
In the wake of Hurricane Sandy I think we’re all evaluating our preparedness for extreme events, with that in mind, meet the Böker EMS Rescue Knife.
Castel Helmet by Ruby
The new Castel Helmet by Ruby is one of the most beautiful 3 dimensional objects we’ve featured in some time here on Silodrome.
The Patrol Raiden Jacket by Icon
As those of us in the northern hemisphere hunker down and prepare for what looks to be a hell of a winter, our attention turns towards gear that can handle snow/ice/rain and handle sub-zero temperatures.
Portel Credit Card Wallet
I like the gear made by Portel, they use top grain leather and make their wares by hand, which is something we’d like to see more of.
Longines Avigation Mono-Pusher Type A-7
The Longines Avigation Watch Type A-7 has an eye-catching black dial offset 50 degrees to make reading it easier in the cockpit of your Ferrari Dino, Spitfire MKV or hydrogen filled, propeller powered Zeppelin.
Pre-Imperial Pewter Pint Mug – Circa 1780
It might surprise you to learn that there’s a huge community of people who collect pewter tankards like this that date back hundreds of years, a lot of the mugs have the name of the pub they were cast for engraved on them to try to offset the rampant thievery of the era.
