Crafted by Lang & Heyne in a limited edition run of 25 pieces, the ivory that’s used in the Friedrich August I and Johann von Sachsen models was sourced from 10,000-year-old woolly mammoths that were preserved in the Russian permafrost for thousands and thousands of years. And it’s not like the ivory is just being used as decorative accents. It’s actually been incorporated into the watch’s inner structures and components. So you’re probably getting your money’s worth given extinction has made sure this particular ivory isn’t exactly a renewable resource. You’ll also understand why these unique mammoth watches cost upwards of $US44,000 — via Gizmodo Australia

There are few motorcycles more exotic than a Bimota. And this machine, which has just gone up for sale, is one of the most covetable Bimotas of all—the 1986 DB1R racer. Built in conjunction with Ducati, it’s one of the four factory bikes campaigned by Davide Tardozzi, Malcolm Tunstall of Syd’s Cycles, and Dale Quarterley.

The bike is in New York, and owner Gregory Rathe has just put it up for sale. The asking price is $80,000, which compares well with the Tardozzi DB1R, which is listed for $200,000 in Japan. If you’re interested, email Gregory here — via Bike EXIF

The house [Turnbull Griffin Haesloop Architects] is sited to engage the undulating hillside and capture the spectacular views of Mount Tamalpais and the San Francisco Bay. A curved retaining wall follows the contours of the hillside and anchors the house to the steep site. The house is tucked under the living roof, which visually merges the house with the land. Growing out of the hillside, the roof is carved away to form a protected courtyard for the pool — via ArchDaily
