Although I don’t normally sport too many other DJ’s on this site… (for obvious reasons), you have to recognize skill and talent when you see it. Kanye West, Jay-Z, and Big Sean’s massive hit Clique is a brilliant song on its own, but sometimes a DJ remix is never a bad thing. DJ Enferno has a masterful live remix that he uploaded online not too long ago, and the video is beyond note-worthy. Check the method below.
MB&F has unveiled a brand new timepieces with a 1970s twist – the HM5 ‘On the Road’ – which takes inspiration from the details and bodywork of cars from the era. The brand said: “Horological Machine No.5 is the epitome of the ‘70s – a time when everything seemed possible: space exploration, supersonic flight, hovercrafts, jet packs and the first supercars like the Lamborghini Miura.” The HM5 is built like the first supercars of those amazing years – complete with chassis, aerodynamic bodywork, rear flaps, exhaust ports and dashboard. Like the instrument panel on an early 70s speedster, the HM5′s display shows the hours and minutes in an mph/rpm fashion. The unmistakable wedge-shaped case of On the Road Again is direct homage to the plucky Amida Digitrend, you know that digital LED-look display. It also takes unmistakable cues from the sleek low-slung supercars of the epoch, with louvres on their near horizontal rear windows blocking sunlight and heat.
The functional louvres on HM5 do the opposite in that they open to allow light down onto the Super-LumiNova numbers on the hours and minutes indication disks to charge them. The disks are actually flat on top of the movement (under the louvres), not vertically at the front of the case where they appear to be thanks to some optical magic. Opening and closing the louvres also changes the dial’s light intensity. The louvres are opened and closed by a slide set into the side of the case. Another distinguishing feature of supercars are large dual exhaust pipes that are usually seen accompanied by a roar of engine noise and smoking rubber. But HM5’s exhausts are not there to expel combustion gases in a throaty roar, but to drain water in case – like James Bond’s Lotus in ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’ – HM5 gets wet. From a technical point of view, HM5 innovates by combining an automatic movement with an optical-grade sapphire prism, which reflects light 90 degrees and magnifies it by 20% – allowing to display bi-directional jumping hours and minutes vertically. The HM5 is released as a limited edition of 66 pieces in zirconium.

Every smartphone comes with a timer, but you’ll soon ditch your app for Metaphys’ Nebula digital hour glass the minute you see its glowing pixels drop. Even if at over foot tall it gobbles up more kitchen counter space than it really needs to.
Powered by a pair of AA batteries or a USB connection, the $62 Nebula can be easily programmed in one minute increments using one of the two buttons on top. So if you just need 30 seconds on the clock you’re out of luck, but who cares when watching this thing in action is so mesmerizing? When the timer runs out and all of the pixels have fallen to the lower section, a beeping alarm will sound to notify you in case you’re not watching. But really, who would ever let this out of their sight while it was running?
R&B diva Alicia Keys releases the song “Girl On Fire” as the lead single from her fifth album of the same name due for global release on November 27 via RCA Records! “Girl On Fire” is a strong female empowerment anthem, with a fantastic nod-along hard and steady drum beat, and piano bits. Great inspiring lyrics too, and AK kills it on the vocals. So wide, so clear, so powerful. “Girl On Fire” was debuted live at the 2012 VMAs.
“If you look at like a Jay-Z for example, the thing that tore most people down is what he put on his back and sort of made it make sense, and set an example for what adversity is meant to do in our lifetime. So, it was cool to interview him because he is a living manifestation of my view, that is essentially everything is mind over matter, and with the right determination and the right skill-set, there’s no reason why you can’t figure it out. Then you find your purpose, and that’s a guy who’s found his purpose.”
Unless your granddad used to brew his own beer and take you through the process at a young, slightly bored age, chances are you have little to no idea about how it’s all made. From now on, we’re taking the below advert as gospel. The process has been broken down in this new commercial from the Hahn Brewery, who make beer over in Australia. It involves a number of stages with just one thing in common: total awesomeness. We don’t want to ruin it so take a look below. You can then join us in manically Googling how we can import Hahn Super Dry as soon as humanly possible.
When it comes to an overly complicated game show based a simple concept, ‘The Price Is Right’ pretty much sets the bar. But at work on Halloween night, I caught a glimpse of one of the greatest game shows based on a basic idea that blew my mind. The show ‘Total Blackout’ prey’s on people’s fear of the dark, and does more damage to it than SF Giants fans. ALTHOUGH the video below says Wednesdays, the show now comes on at 10 P.M. on Tuesdays, take a look at the SyFy original series below… I’m signing my assistant and I up for an episode right now.

Each of the 81 pieces in the limited edition watch will have metal from an original DeLorean DMC-12 in the bezel of the watch. The case is in stainless steel measuring 46mm wide. Inside the Romain Jerome DeLorean DNA watch is a Swiss mechanical automatic caliber RJ001-CH movement. Romain Jerome will produce just 81 pieces in the limited edition DeLorean DNA watch collection (as a testament to 1981, the year the car debuted).
Porsche Design is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a new box set composed of three historical watches. The luxury box set includes three timepieces that have left a mark on the history of Porsche Design. The Heritage P’6510 Black Chronograph model was the first entirely black watch on the market when it was designed in 1972. The P’6520 Compass Watch, from 1978, was the first timepiece to boast a compass, and the Heritage P’6530 Titan Chronograph (1980) was the first timekeeper made of a significant amount of titanium. Porsche Design is celebrating 40 years of innovations by reissuing the trio of iconic watches, adding a few contemporary elements, such as a wider dial. Only 100 Heritage P’6500 box sets will ship globally.
After the success of the iconic Space Invaders watches, RJ-Romain Jerome is once again taking you on a crazy round of video games with a limited series of 80 watches designed after the cult PAC-MAN. The most colorful model features Pac-Man, the Ghosts (Blinky-red, Pinky-pink, Inky-blue, and Clyde-Orange) and a pair of extra point Cherries. Romain Jerome uses a very sophisticated production process to create the characters and fruits on the PAC-MAN watch dial — each of the three dial levels is engraved with a pixelated matrix, resulting in a crisp three-dimensional view. Romain Jerome uses a very sophisticated production process to create the characters and fruits on the PAC-MAN watch dial — each of the three dial levels is engraved with a pixelated matrix, resulting in a crisp three-dimensional view. The lower two levels are bead blasted, while the upper level features straight-grained edges. Machined piece by piece, applied by hand and gem-set, they are subsequently lacquered with different colors or with black superluminova “green emission”, thus recreating actual game sequences. An official PAC-MAN logo is also placed near the 6 o’clock position. The case of this watch is inherited from the RJ Moon Invader collection — an alloy of steel and fragments of Apollo 11 — 46mm black PVD coated, with polished and sandblasted surfaces. The four ball-and-socket joints at the corners of the case are functional and designed like the legs of the lunar landing module in American lunar expeditions. On the back of the watch, a disc made of RJ’s proprietary “Moon Silver“ – a low-oxidation silver fused with moon rocks – reproduces the surface of the Moon. RJ-Romain Jerome uses automatic mechanical Concepto movements.

“Gangnam Style” is a Korean language colloquialism that refers to a luxurious lifestyle associated with the Gangnam district, an affluent and trendy area of Seoul. The music video features Psy dancing at various locations in Gangnam. The “skewering of the Gangnam image” by the “non-Gangnam PSY” is recognizable to Korean viewers, but those less familiar with the cultural context have found the video “fresh” amidst the teen pop idol groups increasingly popular with overseas viewers. The video is a massive hit on YouTube garnishing around 60 million views. Check the method.

When considering the reading of time and designing a new watch, renowned designer Yves Béhar asked himself one question: “Why do I need to see all twelve numbers, when what I really need to see is just one?”. The result of this idea is the VUE time piece for Issey Miyake—a watch that reveals only one given hour and a single hand indicating the minutes of that hour. It’s a refined concept, brought into production thanks a trusted collaboration with Issey Miyake. The piece is sure to become an iconic collectors item when we look at the value of this time piece collection—marking a significant era in the history of the Issey Miyake brand.

Busta Rhymes Discusses Lil Wayne’s Negative Remarks About New York.
“Everybody’s entitled to their opinion,” NY native Busta said Wednesday on Hot 97 personality Angie Martinez’s afternoon show to promote his new free LP Year of the Dragon. In fact, Busa Bus has similar feelings toward El Paso, Texas, after he and his entourage were arrested after performing there several years back. “It don’t mean I don’t like the people there, it don’t mean I don’t like my support, my love, but I don’t like El Paso,” the Dungeon Dragon stated, making his point very clear. “My experience in El Paso makes me not like it. I haven’t done another show there since.” As far as his buddy Weezy, Busta understands why he’s down on the Big Apple. On Monday, MTV News asked Wayne how it felt to perform in New York on August 14 with Nicki Minaj.
“You know, flat out: I don’t like New York,” Weezy said before saying he had an “awesome” time on stage with Nicki. State Senator Malcolm A. Smith of Queens was “angry,” “taken aback” and “shocked” by Lil Wayne’s contempt for his beloved city, according to The New York Times, so much so that he organized a conference in Father Duffy Square, between West 46th and West 47th Streets, on Wednesday to demand an apology. “If you don’t like New York,” Smith said, according to the NY Times, “you don’t have to come to New York. You don’t have to sell your products here. And perhaps we won’t come to your concerts.”
