In yet another watch-related-post today, BoingBoing and Watchismo have joined forces to bring you a chance to win one of Quicksilver’s new “eco watches”, the Ray, valued at $450 USD.

If anyone’s wondering what to get me for Christmas, I’d happily accept this new Palindrome Too watch by Philippe Starck for Fossil.

It’s well beyond the time of year now where you realise that it’s all down hill from here until at least next June.  There’s nothing else for it but to wrap up warm and restrict your exposure to the elements to quick sprints to the nearest public house.  Not all of us are fortunate enough to live next door to the Dog and Smoking Jacket but fear not – help is at hand.  Or head.

Having featured the Case-Mate iPhone ID Case recently, and deciding that it solved a problem that other manufacturers seemed to be ignoring, I was surprised to find two more options in one day.  It seems that iPhone wallets are becoming big business, and I say that’s a good thing. 

These chunky cufflinks are hand made to order using real watch mechanisms salvaged from vintage watches, and as such no two pairs are exactly the same.  You don’t need to be a watch nerd or know what “steampunk” means to appreciate their industrial design.

Online fashion store USC is offering £15 off any orders of £100 or more until the end of December 2009.  Just use voucher code USC100 at the checkout.  Orders over £100 automatically get free delivery too.

Show your postman you mean business in the mornings with this Mohammad Ali bath robe.  This velour robe with hood is based on the one that Ali wore himself, and has his “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” catchphrase embroidered on the breast pocket.

SmartGeezer are running a competition to win this hi-tech “Ninja” jacket by Location Clothing to keep you toasty and dapper while out and about over the winter…

You know how it is, you’re going out for the night and want to carry as little as possible.  The females of the species have handbags to store their essentials, but let’s face it – the man-bag is still a contentious issue in the gentleman’s clubs and drinking houses of Blighty, so unless you’re in a boy band you’re probably stuck with heaving pockets.

I love this shirt by Holiday Matinee and sold via Supermarket – I can’t quite put my finger on what it is but it’s a brilliant retro design.
Yours for $20 (about 12 quid to you guv – plus shipping of course) from Supermarket.
