I like the Hermès one

the "planisphère d’un monde équestre" "map of the equestrian world" is hilarious. apparently if you travel to Samarkand you can hide the continent of Dressage.

I've been following Code41's Mecascape because I think it's kind of fun that they're making a travel clock. Fun ended when they announced the fucker comes in at ELEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS which was about when I realized that they decided the North Pole is in the Canary Islands.

is it weird that the X41 looks exactly like what I would expect "the first community-based manufacture movement" to look like?

Why, because it's the distillation of every bad idea on WearOS Marketplace?

I could see that.

I have a real soft spot in my heart for Lip, not just because of the Roger Talon Mach2000, not just because they produced watches for ten years as socialist squatters, but also because they made the Beschmakoff as if to say "yeah so what clearly a designer came up with this peasant you just lack the refinement to appreciate it."

Hey you speak French. Subtitle the documentary for me.
