I missed this from before christmas but Seiko did a collab with this JoJo's Bizarre Adventure thing that large parts of the internet won't fucking shut up about

All Japanese Domestic Market only, each limited to 1,000 units

THE WOMBLES ARE SOLARPUNK

my feet are mooses... meese... moose feet

Huh. I guess Makita really do make everything you could use an 18v battery with

This is a filter coffee machine that runs off a Makita battery like what you'd use in a drill

No idea why they make it, but they do

This is a $360,000 watch that plays the theme from The Godfather on demand

Because that was a thing that had to exist for some reason

This is Mari Lwyd (image cw'ed for skull)

In Welsh tradition, at christmas, Mari Lwyd will come around all the houses in the town with a bunch of mates and sing loudly that they want to enter your house

You are then obliged to sing back with reasons they can't come in and the argument continues until you run out of ideas and it then comes in with its mates and you have to give them ale and food

In the UK we like to name our gritters (vehicles that spread grit on the roads to increase traction in icy conditions, owned and operated by the county council)

Lanarkshire just got Gritter Thunberg

Should anyone else want to put a gonk on it, here's an image with a transparent background

ah yes, "Moose stalks couple eating poutine", just the image I needed for my website!

these are amazing

I need one of these

it's a USB power bank in the form of a little mini petrol generator!

Seiko are bringing back the "Alpinist"

there's not much mention of badgers around here

here's a badger

they are good

here are some cute pictures

a lot of us could do with some right now

tawny frogmouths are ridiculous muppet birds and i love them

kiwi birds are good and cute

2: it's a nail

1: no, it's a tack!

The inevitable Bond No Time To Die limited edition Omega's been announced

Looks quite nice

Which it fucking better had for €8,700

I mean, yes, this one's titanium but almost double the price of a standard Diver 300M?

Hell, that's the price of two Tudor Pelagoses... Pelagi.... Pelagodes? Two of them titanium watches what are made by Tudor

It's expensive, is what I'm saying

Couple of Seiko limited editions

Look nice, have a cool honeycomb dial design
