This four-bedroom, seven-bath home in Houston, Texas. The house was designed by Houston architect Hugo Neuhaus in 1950 as his personal home. The house is considered one of the finest Miesian homes in Texas, and indeed the glass and brick design reflects the influence of both Mies van der Rohe and Johnson — via Curbed

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

If the new Moto Guzzi V85 TT is a little beyond your budget, one option is to find a Tutto Terreno or Nuova Tipo Cross (NTX) from the 80s. And if you’re handy with the spanners, do a little work on it, as Filippo Barbacane of Officine Rossopuro has done here—including a major engine swap — via Bike EXIF

The Breitling Superocean 44 Automatic Ironman Limited Edition is built and designed in the ocean pilot style of the Superocean 44 Special series, which combines classical aviation-watch DNA with traditional divers’ watch elements. The watch has a 44-mm stainless steel case and a ratcheted, unidirectional rotating bezel made of scratch-resistant ceramic. Also in black is the dial, which features the red-and-white Ironman logo prominently at 3 o’clock. The case is fitted with a twin-gasket screw-locked crown, which helps guarantee the watch’s water-resistance to an impressive 1,000-metre, depth. Priced at $3,950 — via WatchTime

Andrew and Helen Berry’s passion for Art Deco inspired them to try and recreate all the glamour of the 1930s in a 21st century home in Surrey. The problem was that they had firm ideas on what the outside would look like, but less of an idea of how to work the interior. But like most Grand Designs projects, it all came through in the end and what you see here is pretty much what was created 12 years ago. The current asking price, which is £1,600,000 — via WowHaus
