Retro Breitling Transocean Watches
Breitling is known for producing high quality Swiss made watches that are relatively affordable when compared with other high-end Swiss watches. The one complaint I’ve had is their busy dials and that is not the case with Breitling’s new Transocean watch line.
The Breitling Transocean takes its design cues from vintage watches from the 1950’s and 1960’s with a domed crystal and round pushers. The first thing you’ll notice is the lack of a rotating bezel, which is found on a majority of Breitling watches. The watch face is relatively clutter free with the exception of a tachymeter on the outer part of the dial. The watch face consists of three recessed sub-dials for the chronograph seconds, minutes and hours and baton-style hour markers. Lume is placed on small dots behind the hour markers and in strips on the hour and minute hands. The dial and the back are covered with sapphire crystal.
The One – Custom Bike by Fat Attack
Normally I wouldn’t write about Harley Davidson motorcycles, unless I’m making fun of them or Marisa Miller is involved, but I’ll make an exception this time. “The One” is a custom bike built by Fat Attack Custom Bikes, based in Switzerland, built on a Harley Davidson chassis.
“The One” is one sexy machine with low to the ground stance, a massive rear tire and a very unique exhaust system, which I’m sure is going to be extremely loud. It will get you noticed for sure, as you’re sipping on a Latte at your local Starbucks.
10 TRON Legacy Inspired Gadgets and Gizmos
Up until recently I had never heard of Tron or what it was about; I still don’t know what the movie is about, but at least I’ve heard of it now and made a post. I was thinking of watching the movie, but after my last post, I know it will be a let-down.
I have compiled a list of some cool and not so cool Tron Legacy inspired merchandise.
The Light Cycle
Just like the Light Cycle from the movie, you too can ride in style on this street-legal version of the motorcycle for only $55,000. Built by Parker Brothers Choppers, the Light Cycle replica is based on a Suzuki TLR1000 and makes use of plenty of fiberglass and steel to get the desired look. The Light Cycle weighs 474 pounds and measures over 100 inches in length by 23 inches in width.

Transformers 3: Dark Of The Moon – First Official Trailer
This is the first trailer for the third installment in Michael Bay’s Transformer series, Transformers 3: Dark Of The Moon.
The trailer doesn’t show much, but we do see a fictional take on Neil Armstrong’s 1969 moon landing, and as expected, he finds an alien ship on the moon. We’re not too excited about this one because for starters, the name sounds pretty lame, and secondly, Shia LaBeouf is stil the leader actor… yikes. Even worse…
