Tristan Zimmerman has designed this ultra-fabulous and functional speaker system that uses no power and projects sound beautifully throughout a room.  The Phonophone is a very well designed piece that meets the needs of the ultra aesthetic while also producing an amazingly friendly sound by its material make up, it is completely ceramic.  The ceramic aspect is environmentally friendly and creates great resonance.  Available for  475 Euro at Charles & Marie  Order Now

The Nixon-51-30 Chrome Leather Watch is a great addition to your collection from what I consider a responsible and well made watch firm.  Nixon has been doing watches for several years and always come up with styles that meet the needs of almost all shoppers.  This is a pure style watch and is not intended for extreme or water sports.  The band is made from imported leather with a patented locking looper and stainless steel buckle while the watch's interior works contain 6 hand Japanese quartz with second sub dial, chrono and date.  Available for 368USD at Kitson's Online.  Order Now

Last, but not least, a classic for any room in the home.  Pinball machines work as great conversational pieces in a living room or kitchen and usually work eclectically well with antiques and modern design.  They also don't fail to provide entertainment when having people over for cocktails or when you are just simply bored out of your skull.  I recommend buying vintage as they are usually much more interesting than newer models and are also less technical, leaving less room for malfunctions.  A personal favorite of mine is the 1978 KISS by Bally Pinball Machine.
