Reveals, New Launches and Gear
Today, Amazon has released a series of limited-edition prints by street artists Ron English, AIKO, Faith 47, Logan Hicks, Ganzeer, Stikman and Gaia. The seven prints have each been released in editions of 50, with each example being numbered and signed by the artist. The collection was curated by Vandalog — a website dedicated to the discussion and presentation of street art.

With a design based on a Japanese style utility knife called the Kiridashi, Horse’s take on the EDC utility tool can do everything from opening boxes, to prying open other things and scraping residue off of surfaces.

We expected a collaboration between the UK’s top watch– and automaker to produce something great. Bremont’s MKI and MKII watches didn’t disappoint — and now, the newly unveiled MKIII picks up the momentum of the series, offering access to the Jaguar-inspired line at a more accessible price point. The biggest changes come in the form of a slightly slimmer 43mm polished steel case with a closed case back, as well as a slightly less complex movement. But its simplicity shouldn’t be confused with a lack of refinement. The three-handed dial, complete with a date window at the 6 position, sports the same design nods inspired by the instruments of the E-Type, including the distinctive redline quadrant between 3 and 4 o’clock. For automotive fans looking for ways to channel their love into their personal style, this is a watch to seek out.

Just be sure to order by December 20th to make sure it arrives in time for the holidays.
If you own a bicycle in the city and often leave it locked up outside, you’ve likely experienced the woes of a stolen seat, wheels or just about every other part.
