From luxury penthouses to sky-high secret slums, urban rooftop architecture is like a hidden world of its own, often invisible from street level. Most of us go about our daily lives in the city never knowing what exists right above our heads. In Bangkok, architecture firm WARchitect has completed a new example: an exclusive modern getaway that takes full advantage of panoramic views and a lack of prying eyes with lots of glass walls — via Web Urbanist

The Zodiac Super Sea Wolf 53 Compression Blue Lagoon watches are the references ZO9274 and ZO9275.

They’re both 40mm, they’re both made of stainless steel, and they’re both powered by no-nonsense STP 3-13 automatic movements. And, importantly, they both highlight that piercing blue colour. On a rubber strap, the ZO9275 is priced at $1,095 and the ZO9274 on the bracelet is just a few hundred dollars more at $1,395 — via Hodinkee

Known for thousands of glass-filled, boxy homes from the 1950s and 60s, Joseph Eichler was the developer of this Claude Oakland-designed home in Orange County, California. Constructed in 1964, the four-bedroom, two-bath home has been freshly remodelled with authenticity in mind. Original features include Arcadia aluminium sliding doors, mahogany panelling, interior door hardware, and 1960s light switches. An open floor plan allows enough space for a dinette off of the kitchen, and Eichler’s signature floor-to-ceiling windows let in plenty of light — via Curbed

The Zodiac Astrographic, a timepiece that riffed on the space-age aesthetic when it was released in 1969 by highlighting a mystery dial as its distinguishing feature. For 2019, Zodiac has approached the watch’s anniversary with care. The brand has aligned its release along the same lines as the first one. Where the 1969 watches were partially released in celebration of the moon landing, the new model is meant to celebrate the future of space exploration with a red seconds dot that references America’s long-held goal of reaching Mars. Limited to 182 pieces in each colourway, the new Zodiac Astrographic is priced at $1,295 — via WatchTime

Yorkshire based Jez, founder of La Busca Motorcycles, works from a small shed in the Dales yet produces bikes to standard bigger pro shops would have aimed for a few years ago. He bought this Le Mans MK3 locally as a rolling chassis and box of bits. The frame and engined numbers matched so it seemed worth investing in restoring it to its former glory – with a few mods of course. A previous La Busca customer with a Guzzi build fancied another, but this time based on a big block motor, so he commissioned this, The Gunslinger — via The Bike Shed

Marc found his inspiration in Bauhaus designers like Michael Muss Otter and the work of architects Alvar Aalto, Frank Lloyd Wright and Michael Muss Otter. Thankfully his professors eventually embraced the idea. So with a less is more approach he and Philip devised a plan to transform their unloved Honda CB400F Supersport into a stripped back hill-climbing beast. The 2V Motos Honda CB400F can now be seen racing throughout the summer season as it was always destined to do. As for the brothers, they continue to follow their destiny building more custom motorcycles and creating their own adventures — via Return of the Cafe Racers

The Devil’s Advocate started out as a run down 700cc Royal Enfield Indian, which is a rather obscure motorcycle in itself. After Indian Motorcycles closed their doors in 1953 the brand was purchased by English motorcycle retailer Brock House Engineering. To keep up with the demand for Indian branded motorcycles they began rebadging Royal Enfields. After a couple of years of building customer requests, J Shia of Madhouse Motors decided it was time to build another bike for herself using the Enfield as a base. A bike that functioned unconventionally and reflected her own style — via Return of the Cafe Racers

Tucked in Pleasantville, New York, less than an hour north of Manhattan, a 100-acre enclave boasts an impressive number of Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired organic homes. Most of the homes in the planned community were not designed by Wright himself—instead they were approved and plotted out by the iconic architect and executed by his apprentices. Called Usonia, the district is now on the National Register of Historic Places and encompasses about 46 structures. The latest to hit the market is the Anderson House, a 1950 three-bedroom, one-bath structure designed by Wright engineer and designer David Henken — via Curbed

There’s a certain balance to this watch that’s hard to come by; the models typically associated with Bell & Ross don’t quite exemplify the same sort of utilitarian design that the V2-92 gets right. It’s a total military mash-up, with design elements borrowed from field watches and dive watches packaged in a thin case. The domed crystal adds some additional thickness, for a total of 12mm thickness overall, but thanks to the thin case and high domed crystal you still get a very wearable watch. On a steel bracelet, $3,200; on an elastic canvas strap, $2,900 — via Hodinkee
