24-carat gold laces


 For $19,000, a company called Mr. Kennedy will make you 24-carat gold laces which take about 120 hrs to make by hand.
“The world’s only precious metal shoelaces” are finely crafted using “ancient, artisan jewelry techniques.”
The man behind the laces is Colin Hart, who named his company after ‘Mr Kennedy’, inventor of the modern-day shoelace.




He explains that shoelaces are boring and hopes that his blinged-out offerings will attract people who enjoy the “practical made special.”
Adding to their exclusivity, only ten pairs of the shoelaces will ever be made.

Limited-edition BRM TB 10000 Tours watch




The limited-edition BRM TB 10000 Tours watch brings a new kind of design to the horological table. The creator of this innovative watch is Bernard Richards. Although Richards is not amongst the most celebrated of his craft, he is known for his avant-garde perspective on the age old art of building timepieces, and his latest effort is no exception.
BRM TB 10000 Tours is the first watch to boast a vertical face. Designed with time-conscious gear-heads in mind, the face resembles a dashboard from a vintage car. The body is made of industrial grade titanium and carbon fiber. The timepiece is protected by sapphire glass covering, which makes the watch scratch-resistant and anti-reflective. The watch maintains water resistance up to a depth of 100meters. The black leather strap is accented with a sporty red buckle and contrasting red stitching.
This inventive time keeper is set launch in December 2011 and will retail for $11,300.
