SPITFIRE PEN

Paper & Writing

This pen is made from the propeller of a WWII era Spitfire. It’s expensive too!

If someone told me I had to pick the brand that has consistently done the best job from a design standpoint in the last 100 years, I would have a very hard time picking between two German companies – Braun and Sinn. These two new limited editions from Sinn just push their placement further up the list.

They should be listed on Watchbuys soon.

The Best Laptop Ever Made

Ryan

Tech

A lot of people actually agree with me on this one… Before Apple took away all the port options, screwed up the keyboard, and added all the unnecessary bullshit, they had the perfect laptop. It’s the 2015 MacBook pro. And it’s the last laptop that Steve Jobs actually had a say on.

Believe it or not, it’s still pretty damned fast too…

You can still get it refurbished from Apple.

Knives & Tools

I actually own a friction folder that this guy made out of a vintage file. It’s gorgeous… but the best thing? It holds an edge for seemingly ever – even when all you cut is cardboard.

Details.
