High time
We can’t remember the last time we put a clock on our walls. But these ones are quite pretty, so we’re considering it. Nomon clocks are handmade in Spain and have a streamlined look, quirkily shaped clock faces and minimalist design. They can be mounted or be free-standing, and prices start at $1,500 at Proof Living.
Life cycle
Who says bike equipment has to be serious and all athletic? Online bike store Ride Essence has an array of accessories for the fashion-conscious cyclist. The e-shop stocks cycling essentials like dapper Closca helmets (which fold and compress to half their size, $120), reflective stickers (from $7) and reflective t-shirts ($56) to help riders stand out at night. Shop online or at Cycle Project.
It’s in the bag
We always look forward to fashion store Actually‘s new stuff. This time it has launched a cool new range of city backpacks. An everyday-everything carrier, the Freitag Pete F201 ($360) has an industrial design and comes with adjustable straps to wear as a backpack or carry bag. Made from super durable tarp-like fabric, the bag can withstand daily wear and tear. Shop online or head instore.
Multitask while multitasking
Attendees at the IFA Berlin trade show just saw the first glimpse of the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge. The new Note 4 has a more premium-looking metal frame and soft-textured back panels, as well as a massive 5.7 inch screen. The standout feature of the new Note Edge is its dual-screen functionality, a curved screen that allows you to see two displays simultaneously (you can read your emails while you respond to that text—not sure if this is a good thing, but oh well). The new Samsung products are set to launch in Singapore late September, find more information on the Samsung website.
