There seem to be endless permutations of the classic Triton motorcycle. But I haven’t seen this mix of old and new before: It’s a modern Hinckley-built 865cc engine in a 1954 Norton frame.

Erick Runyon of Choppershotz is one of the hardest-working photographers on the custom motorcycle scene, so he gets to see a lot of bikes. And after working on the Cafe Racer TV show, he’s got to know many of the builders too.

Erick’s now built a bike of his own: Buzz Saw, a 1982 Yamaha Virago XV750. I picked up ideas and inspiration from all the bikes I’ve shot, he says. There’s no rhyme or reason behind the design of the bike — I just did what appeals to me — via Bike EXIF

There’s mechanical genius to the Frederique Constant Worldtimer Manufacture, and it lies in the simplicity of use of the watch — all functions are handled by using the crown. The Worldtimer function can be achieved simply by selecting the desired city and placing it at the 12 o’clock position on the dial. Internal discs automatically synchronise, and after that, it’s possible to see what time it is in any of the 24 cities on the dial. In addition, thin discs also indicate at a glance whether it’s day (white disc) or night (black disc) — via Perpetuelle
