If you know me you know I love me some watches. I especially like Bell & Ross, the aviation-themed, pie-plate-sized watches that gave new meaning to “Wow, that’s a big watch.” Now, however, B&R has added a ring of beautiful jewels around the rim and made these things out of ceramic, officially tugging the brand out of the realm of “cool and utilitarian” into… → Read More
Thinking of buying a MacBook Air, but don’t think it’s going to make enough of an impression as is? Feeling like trading that subtle design for a design that belongs on a Victorian-era fainting couch? This is the deal for you – as long as you have a spare 40 large lying around.

I’ve never been more in agreement with Wired than I am at this very moment. "Everything here is a crap gadget with diamonds glued on it," says Rob Beschizza in his post called The Worst Diamond-Encrusted Gadgets Of All Time. I’d go a step further and make the claim that diamonds don’t belong anywhere near gadgets. Let the gadget itself do the talking. If it’s… → Read More

I mean, you’re very similar, aren’t you? You’re celebrated for… → Read More

For all you Crunchies who have been searching for a way to liven your bottled water experience, I believe I have a solution for you. Bling H20 comes to you from some undisclosed spring (probably a tap water faucet in the Bronx), but who cares about water purity when the 750ml frosted bottle is bejeweled with Swarovski crystals? It’ll set you back $56 per bottle, though I’d argue that… → Read More
