The Seiko SNN221 has a reliable quartz movement, hardlex crystal, water resistance to 100m, and what looks to be generous lume on the hands. Of course, here, we also have the addition of a simpler chronograph complication.

The subdial at 12 o’clock registers the minutes tracked (up to 60); the other subdial (at 6 o’clock) registers the elapsed seconds. The last remaining feature on the dial would be the date display at 3 o’clock, and it blends in perfectly with the dial. You’ve got a 42mm stainless steel case (12mm thick) paired up with a 22mm bracelet — via Wrist Watch Review

Conceived of as a peninsular jutting out from the circulation box abutting the slope, the planar inflection of the space opens to the shimmering expanse of harbour towards Sydney Heads. Essentially a strip of terraced hillside hemmed in by glazed piles sporting steeply retained pools and patios that exploit Sydney’s premier views, the Hrdlicka House [Durbach Block Jaggers] seems unduly modest in siting and compactness — via ArchDaily

The term Ex [GarcíaGermán Arquitectos] refers to a vital process developed by our client through an abandonment of downtown Madrid and its disadvantages leaving behind a world of urban routines. This displacement aims to achieve a feeling of retreat and isolation inherent to the rural setting of the Somosierra mountain range, where the house is located, but taking advantage of its close proximity to the city, with the property at just 1km distance from the N-1 highway and one-hour drive from Madrid — via ArchDaily

The Pump House is a piece of the town’s history, having been perched on the edge of Ilkley Moor since 1848, where it operated, as you might have guessed, as a water pumping station.

The tiny house from Ryue Nishizawa and Sou Fujimoto drifts in place within the tiny lot, with barely any boundaries, so that apparently nothing but vases, planters, concrete benches, plexiglass railings and curtains form its sides — via Home Design Find

This is the return of the venerable German marque Horex (est 1920) with a VR6-powered Roadster due to start production in a few weeks’ time. And there are some big names backing this company: finance is coming from the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology, while Rolls-Royce, Bosch and VW are providing technological know-how– via Bike EXIF

Designed by Patrick Partouche with eight intermodal shipping container units, the home has about 2,200 square feet with great views through large windows and light through polycarbonate panels. Maison Container Lille installed by crane in three days of site work — via Jetson Green

Never mind the price, it’s out of all of our leagues. But simply marvel at this Paxton Locher-designed futuristic five bedroom house in Hampstead, London NW3.

It is a quite stunning design, said to be the finest of all of Paxton Locher’s projects. Some statement, seeing as a previous build by the architectural team was described as one of the great London houses of the late 20th century. Why so great? Well, it packs a hell of a lot of wow into a fairly restricted space.

A stunning glimpse into the future, but a glimpse that’s available to buy right now… at a price. That price? A jaw-dropping £7,950,000 — via WowHaus

With a history unlike any other, Wall House 2 redefines the limits of architectural design as a function of context in both time and culture. 28 years after the completion of the initial designs and one year after the death of architect John Hejduk, construction began in a completely different environment than where it was initially imagined — via ArchDaily

This beautiful machine, photographed by Benoit Guerry in France, has just been profiled on the (highly recommended) Southsiderssite. It’s a Triton-style hybrid, built in the 1970s from recovered parts and spares — including a Lowboy frame, shortened Norton Roadholder forks, a Seeley front brake, and a Triumph five-speed transmission. The engine is a rare 1957 pre-unit T100/RS with a splayed-port Delta head — via Bike EXIF

Scott Colosimo runs Cleveland CycleWerks, a company making cool, affordable custom-style bikes that cost as little as $3195. This bike isn’t on a CCW dealer floor though: it’s Scott’s personal ride, a 1954 BSA M21 that he built himself — via Bike EXIF

The Timefactors Speedbird GMT (PRS-22GMT) is a limited edition watch (only 100 pieces), due to the difficulty in sourcing the ETA2893-2 movements used in the watch. This particular movement features everything you’d expect from an automatic (hours/minutes/seconds/date), as also features the addition of an independently adjustable GMT hand– via Wrist Watch Review
