Gulf Watch Limited edition by BRM



The most famous Gulf Oil watch was a Tag Heuer. Now French watch brand BRM has their own limited edition Gulf watch. Actually, there will be about three of them. While many people might not be so keen on the Gulf connection (it has to do with car racing), the back and orange motif of the pieces are great. What you see here is a Gulf edition of the BRM V12-44 watch. It is 44mm wide in a PVD black steel case with lots of little case details and articulating lugs. The Gulf logo is placed on the dial as well as on the crown. Inside the watch is a Swiss ETA automatic chronograph movement. The entire Gulf Oil collection will be 100 pieces in total. The pictured model will retail for 6,400 euros.

Ben & Jerry's New flavor



Ben & Jerry’s has a new ice cream flavor called “Late Night Snack”, produced in partnership with late night talk show host Jimmy Fallon — a vanilla bean ice cream with a salty caramel swirl and fudge-covered potato chip clusters.
However, Spork Restaurant in San Francisco exclusively serves the “After School Special” ice cream created over two years ago by Humphry Slocombe which has nearly the identical ingredients: “Chocolate-covered Ridge potato chips swirled with caramel in Tahitian Vanilla.” Controversy is a-brewin’.

Aspen, the most expensive town in America



The affluent town of Aspen in Colorado, well-known for its luxurious ski-resorts, has just been named the most expensive town in America, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal.
The median price for single-family homes in Aspen is now the highest in the country at $4.6 million, according to San Francisco-based Altos Research, surpassing other popular wealthy areas including the Hamptons, Beverly Hills and Palm Beach.


In February 2011, a home in the Maroon Creek neighborhood, outfitted with an indoor heated swimming pool and outdoor hot tub, boasting sweeping views of a waterfall, sold for $13 million. The buyer was said to be Russian, Alexander Zanadvorov, the 40-year-old owner of Sedmoi Kontinent supermarket chain.
