The Black-Out Concept – A New Take On A Rolex

Black-Out-RolexThe Black-Out concept was created in 2007, it is a design company out of Geneva that sets out to redefine style on everyday objects such as cars, motorcycles and watches. Black-Out Concept was founded by Fabrice Letellier in 2007, an avid watch collector, race car driver and all-round exotic car enthusiast. The idea was born when Letellier had some of his supercar collection given a matte black treatment and later his Rolex to match. The Black-out Concept takes vintage watches such as Rolex and turns them black. After months of research and testing they have developed  a black treatment called: B.O.C Coating that comes with a 10 year warranty. The Black-Out concept allows clients to send personal watches to them or purchase custom made watches online. The company has also been featured in GQ Magazine and has been seen on celebrities such as Sylvester Stallone and Kanye West.

Blown from the Gods – Pagani Huayra Fully Revealed

PaganiHuayra10

“Ancient legends of the Aymara tell us of Huayra Tata, god of wind, who commands the breezes, winds, and blizzards that invade the mountains, cliffs and hills of the Andean highlands. It is told that Huayra Tata resides deep in the high peaks and valleys, abandoning them only to demonstrate his power to his wife, Pachamama, goddess of mother earth. With his power Huayra Tata was able to lift the waters from lake Titicaca and rain them down on the fertile Pachamama. When Huayra Tata sleeps, the waters and rivers lay quiet. But the calm before the storm is about to be interrupted…”

The successor to the simply stunning Zonda has arrived.  With an exclusively AMG made 700hp 6.0L twin-turbo V12 engine, a top speed of 235mph, and a 0-60 in just 3.2 secs, the Pagani Huayra is automotive breakthrough worthy of a godly praise.
