OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch "Dark Side of the Moon"

via www.highsnobiety.com

After being leaked early last year and officially debuted at Baselworld 2013, the OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch “Dark Side of the Moon” is finally available to purchase. In a nod to the Apollo 8 astronauts who were the first to see the dark side of the moon with their own eyes, OMEGA has released its first all-black ceramic watch paying homage to the Speedmaster Professional chronographs worn by every Apollo astronaut.

The watch is a reinvention of the Moonwatch Professional and features a Co-Axial calibre 9300 Swiss movement, housed in a case, bezel and dial all made out of a single block of black ceramic, which takes 20 times longer to create than a stainless steel version. A coated nylon fabric strap with red stitching is attached via black ceramic lugs and finished with a black ceramic buckle. Super-LumiNova coats the indexes, two dots at the 12, and the 18K white gold hour, minute and chronograph hands, while the matte chromium nitride tachymeter scale is engraved into the bezel with laser technology. “Dark Side of the Moon” is engraved on the caseback, and the watch is finished off with a sapphire crystal face with anti-reflective treatment. The OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch “Dark Side of the Moon” is available now

Draftsman 01 Scale Watch Looks Like A Ruler

via coolmaterial.com

Remember those clear plastic rulers we all had in high school? They’re the ones we were supposed to be using to learn about geometry by drawing isosceles triangles and rhombi, but ultimately just ended up getting spun on top of pencils out of sheer boredom. Those types of clear plastic rulers, more specifically drafting rulers, are what the new watches from Japanese firm Nendo are based on. The first watch, Scale, takes its cues from those calibrated rulers by printing the markers on the crystal itself rather than the face. That whole setup is housed in a brushed stainless case and then attached to either a black leather (with white or black face) or brown leather (with brown face) strap. They remind us of offerings from Uniform Wares, except with actual numbers, the crystal printing and a relocated crown.

Casa Y in the Italian hills of Turin has been designed with large open interior spaces that not only facilitate room for entertainment, but also provide large window expanses that make the most of the picturesque surroundings. FL Architetti Construct followed a brief from a couple and their three children for a residence with durability and low maintenance. The architects created a concrete structure with two visually contrasting forms: one defined by concrete and glass, and the other by a thin screen of corten slats. Bedrooms are located along the southeastern wing of the house behind the wooden slats, enjoying views of the terrace, pool and garden.
