Bamford’s Watches & Cars

Ryan

Watches

George Bamford, for all intents and purposes, is a timepiece customizer. He takes expensive watches, customizes them to his own taste, and then sells them as his own line. He’s also a car guy… His collections of both are pretty interesting…

Trio Of Knives

Ryan

Knives & Tools

I don’t do much in the kitchen, but my wife recently got a “trio of knives” from Material and they damn good. In fact, you wouldn’t think $150 would yield such steel, fit, and finish. Highly recommended.

39mm Pelagos

Ryan

Watches

The Pelagos is a serious dive watch made by Tudor for serious applications. I’ve always loved their clean aesthetic and their “tool watch” finishes, but I’ve never been keen on their large case. That all changes today… Introducing the 39mm Pelagos. In my mind, it’s the perfect modern dive watch.

Batch #003

Ryan

Knives & Tools

I love this idea. It’s basically just a simple folder with an interchangeable blade and a bit driver. If something like this ever hit critical mass and replacement blades were available everywhere, this would be the ultimate EDC.

Other Gear

I have one of these in my truck and have to admit that’s it’s hard for to overstate how handy it is…

Lumina Desk

Ryan

Tech

The Lumina is a height adjustable desk with a built in OLED screen capable of running things like Google Calendar, the weather, etc… And it’s pretty smartly designed. The one main drawback that will lead to its failure? The screen is not touch enabled – forcing the user to use a mouse and keyboard for interaction. Ohh… that and it’s probably going to be very expensive.

Basically, this a great idea… but, in my opinion, this is a great idea that you should used for inspiration to build your own using a Raspberry Pi and a touch screen.

Bando 4.0

Ryan

Bags & Wallets

Another wallet… This one uses magnets for both a clasp and a pretty innovative card ejector. My thing is this – all of these companies design wallets so concerned with card ejection and yet, I’ve never really needed that feature. I mean, in three or four years will even need cards anymore?

BAIT x Unimatic Quattro

Ryan

Watches

Over the last couple of years, BAIT has been responsible for some of the wildest collabs in the watch world. This watch done with Unimatic is another such example. Perfect case, simple face, military hands… just over $500.
