Aston Martin Voyage yatch Concept




The Aston Martin Voyage boat was inspired by Aston Martin vehicles such as the Vantage, Rapide, DBS and Virage and was unveiled last week.
De Basto, a Miami-based custom yacht designer, put together the concept as a way to test whether the car brand’s signature design could be transposed onto water.




The design is so clever, it looks like you are basically driving the luxury sportscar on the water.  The model is very much only a concept, and de Basto makes clear that although he has Aston Martin’s permission for the use of their name in the concept, it’s not intended for production or any commercialization.

Hublot F1 King Power Suzuka Watch


Hublot has created the F1 King Power Suzuka version watch, which is dedicated to the upcoming Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix to be held in Japan.
This ‘Suzuka’ features several differences from the norm, and the major one is use of Zinchronium in watch’s construction. The casing, and the hour and minute hands are made of this metal and the exposed skeleton of the movement inside is also the same. The sub dials, which perhaps indicate divisions of seconds, stopwatch and power reserve use black ceramic instead.
The satin finishing for both is hopefully common. The 48 mm wide main dial has the crown for rewinding the watch’s power reserve, and also the stopwatch on the right; rewind crown near the 3 ‘o’ clock and the stopwatch at 4 ‘o’ clock position. The strapping, which uses the white-red color combo of stitching and fabric finishing, has been inspired by the Japanese flag.
At a recent event, a special version of this limited edition timepiece was auctioned off to raise funds for the Kids Earth Fund which is looking to rehabilitate children affected the 2011 tsunami in Japan. However, all the other editions for sale will have the markings from 0-250, indicating the limited edition of availability.

The Tweet Speaker app




The Tweet Speaker app is the ideal app for those who need to know what is happening on Twitter at all times. The Tweet Speaker app was created by appcubby to tweet to you.
The app uses a strange, robot voice to read your tweets. While the voice sounds a little creepy, it is incredibly accurate and can even read links in the form of website name and article titles. The app is also smart as it can remember what part of your feed you stopped reading at and pick up from that point. The app is available for $2.99 for the iPhone (sorry Android tweeters). You can check out the featured video here showing a demo video of the app in action. There may soon come a day where you never have to read again.
