Nooka Zot classic watch

Nook_011_n Now this is one damn cool watch. So what if it's really difficult to tell the time - we have mobile phones to do that. The Nooka Zot Classic displays the hours as a progression of 12 dots. This design feature allows the watch to display the month on the same display with the date in the seconds window. It's housed in stainless, waterproof steel with an LCD backlight. Available from Elsewares (they do ship to the UK) for $250 (around £125) BUY IT

Nooka watches are the brainchild of Matthew Waldman, a New York-based artist and designer.

New coloured iPod Shuffles look edible

Ipodshufflecolors_1

Mmm, I could eat up Apple's new coloured iPod Shuffles. Goddamn, they look like hi-tech Quality Street. Spec-wise, they're identical to the original silver 2nd-gen Shuffle - 1GB of storage, 12 hours battery life, belt-clip, impossibly small, easy to lose etc. BUY IT

Most wanted: Casino Royale on DVD

Picture_2_106 It's not even out until 19 March, but the forthcoming DVD release - the usual two-disc collectors' edition - of new Bond romp 'Casino Royale' is already a runaway leader at the top of Amazon's 'Hot 100 DVD' charts. You have been able to download shaky cam-recorded versions of the movie via Bittorrent sites for ages now, but there's not much satisfaction in watching one of those (so I've heard - Brandish would never engage in illegal downloading, hell no).

Having watched Casino Royale at the cinema over Christmas (remember Christmas?), I'm looking forward to watching it again. It's undoubtedly one of the better Bond films (up there with Goldeneye and Goldfinger) and Daniel Craig is the only 007 to give Sean Connery a run for his casino chips. PRE-ORDER IT

Beaver Hat

Beaver_hatLet's face it. It's cold and miserable outside. In Britain, it's mostly cold and miserable. If global warming experts are to be believed, then the UK is just going to get colder and colder. One good thing about the chill is that you get to wear more stylish gear, and what better way to make an impression than sporting this fine Beaver Hat from Barney's in New York?

The Sheared Beaver Hat is going for $595.00 and has a quilted lining to make sure your head stays super warm. As it's sheared beaver, I presume it means there wasn't any culling going on to make it. It's made in Canada, and they know a thing or two about staying warm. Also available in black. BUY IT
