Inside the watch is a Swiss ETA G10.211 quartz chronograph movement, with the subsidiary seconds dial at 6 o’clock.

This project was a great challenge for Andres Remy Arquitectos, considering that it was going to take part of the urban structure. The lot of 18 x 24 meters is located in Devoto. It is between two existing buildings that threatens the project when the problem of isolation and view.

A couple of months ago it presented a beautiful Bovet Fleurier Saint Valentin 2011 Mille Fleurs ladies watch and later this month it will officially unveil the new Bovet Pininfarina Cambiano Chronograph automatic timepiece.

Walt Siegl is one of those increasingly rare guys who can build a motorcycle from scratch. He was born in Austria but now lives in idyllic rural New Hampshire, USA. And when word gets out that Walt’s built a new bike, I’m all ears. Walt’s latest creation is the Speed Glide, a very unusual Shovelhead-powered machine commissioned by a collector of British and American motorcycles. The brief was very specific: Walt’s customer wanted a hybrid of the two types, with styling influenced by the 60s and 70s. And without the shortcomings of the originals — via Bike EXIF

We have so much technology to design and build these days, but it is all meaningless without an application like this: a device scans each board that passes through the machine, evaluates its natural curves and structural properties, then slices it into perfectly-fitting but uniquely-shaped floorboards.

The technique itself is not new, strictly speaking – master craftsmen have done things like this for ages. But the work has historically been laborious – time- and labor-intensive to the point of being cost-prohibitive. Digitized by Bolefloor, it becomes mass-producible … yet remains customized — via Dornob
