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.

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.

EMI and Apple have joined forces to announce the forthcoming launch of this custom USB stick containing The Beatles’ full digitally remastered catalogue – that’s some 14 albums, in case you were wondering.

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.

You’d be forgiven for thinking that you’re looking at a photo of a Lamborghini Murciélago, but you’re not.  That’s real in-game graphics from the latest in the Xbox 360 racing franchise, Forza 3 – a game which is prompting comments such as “the very best racing game there is on the console market” from reviewers (IGN).

LaCie are no strangers to creating well designed computer accessories – from FA Porsche designed hard drive enclosures to brightly-coloured flat cables, they certainly seem to care about style as well as substance.  These new speakers, the Sound2, are no exception.

Many are saying that the e-Wolf e2 takes it’s styling cues from Lamborghinis and the angular Ferrari Enzo, and you can see their point.  What sets this particular (and at the moment theoretical) supercar apart is what’s under the bonnet.

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.
