The $59,000 limited edition Memento Mori, Carpe Diem! watch

If you’ve ever wondered what a really, really rich goth rocker would wear as a timepiece, may we present you with the Memento Mori, Carpe Diem! wristwatch. Translated as “remember you will die, so seize the day”, the existentialist watch was designed by Daniel Strom, son of watch maker Armin Strom. The heavily death-themed watch […]

Buy a miniature Bugatti Veyron...for double the price of an actual Veyron

Wow, of all the retarded things you can purchase in this world this quite possibly has to be among the retardedest. This 15 pound (7 kgs) solid 24 carat gold and platinum model of a Bugatti Veyron will cost you approximately double what the actual $1.5 million supercar will cost you. Double. I wince at […]

Diamonds are forever, but time antiquates technology

I know we all love bling and we trust our upper-class to make irrational decisions when it comes to frivolously spending their money, but this is ridiculous. Charging $215,000 for a cellphone seems crazy when you consider that it will fall out of fashion the following year. It’s almost as crazy as buying a diamond […]

Marquis Daniels elevates ego-stroking to absurd new levels

Absorbing the pop iconography of these brands and their well marketed images — eg […]

For all she knows, it could be solid asphalt

Whoever first uttered the phrase, “It’s the thought that counts,” didn’t live in a postmodern, consumerist country. Give me an uncut diamond and I’m polishing it up until my right arm is disproportionately bigger than the left (like it’s not already, psh!). But it’s all masturbation anyway, right? Besides, I was thinking of getting my […]

Bling a glittering chameleon, frog or owl on your wrist

Needless to say I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing any of these Boucheron Bestiary Ronde Seconds Folle watches, but I’m not really the target demo. Still, I gotta say I like the playfulness and bright colors, and the googley-eyes for second hands are a creative touch. The 18k gray gold cases are 42mm wide, inlaid […]
