[PRODUCT] TSOVET SVT-FW44 Vintage Tan Watch

TSOVET specializes in analog timepieces inspired by avionics instruments, engineered industrial tools, and motor gaugues.

Their latest watch is the SVT-FW44 (model no. FW331011-02) which is inspired by a World War 1 infantryman’s field watch and will be available this month, February. Read the description below for more details:

“Inspired by the WWI infantryman’s field watch, the Swiss Made SVT-FW44 (model no. FW331011-02) answers the same call to synchronize and coordinate movement, but it does so within the business and social battlefields of today. Undeniably, the field watch and its ever increasing functionality improved the effectiveness of infantrymen and commanders alike. As soldiers scrambled out of trenches of the Somme, or engaged in flanking maneuver under the darkness of the Argonne forest, time dictated their success or failure.  Similarly, today’s timepiece must also offer functionality and effectiveness-both trademarks of the classically styled svt-fw44.  A Ronda 1014 Swiss quartz movement with eye port second hand positioned at 6 -comprised of all Swiss components and assembled by Swiss craftsmen-housed within a 44mm aerospace grade PVD black stainless steel case, along with hand-made Italian calf leather straps, provides unquestioned quality and reliability. The media-etched case and screw down crown repel environmental threats like wind and water. Night glow equipped with Super Luminova hands and dial markers complete the SVT-FW44.”

[VIDEO] Origami Clothing - Chinese New Year Celebration

For those of you who missed out on the celebration, check out the video above for the highlights which includes an interview with Yellow Kid Slanty himself who shows you how to make his patented $100 bill pinky ring and more.

“Since the face been revealed, game got real“- Ghostface Killah

The MF DOOM of this fashion game, Kevin ‘Saer’ Leong a.k.a. Yellow Kid Slanty celebrated the Chinese New Year in conjunction with his clothing line, Origami, at the Chinatown Brasserie last week. Origami clothing is inspired by the Asian art of folding paper, hence his homepage entitled Fold Your Paper, and features limited runs of apparel each month made from high quality, hand selected materials. Currently featured on the site is a red Italian cashmere sweater with embroidered gold grasshopper emblems that are encased within custom painted red Tyvek envelopes with rabbit stencils to celebrate the Year of the Rabbit.

The Chinese New Year celebration was definitely an unprecedented experience complete with a Hennessy open bar, gift bags with limited gold origami rabbit rings, grasshopper stickers, Yellow Kid Slanty iron-on patches, strawberry fortune cookies with Confucius quotes, and an amazing Lion dance performance. DJs Jason Smith and Aaron Lacrate provided the musical selections, Andre Harrell held down the hosting responsibilities, and Cram Concepts provided a live grasshopper painting.

Congrats to Kevin and shoutouts to Kiran Prasher for putting together such a flavas event!
