Who’s got time to wind 16 timepieces individually? That’s a whole lot of wrist-turning. If you have 16 watches — and $100,000 (€75,000) lying around — then you’ll wanna pick up OriginTimes ridiculous Bugatti engine-block derived watch winder.

We were fans of their adidas Originals Hardland High-Tops, and […]

Diesel have been consistently putting out some high design timepieces that range from leather-strapped, postmodern collisions of metal to playful, boldly-colored rubber-ensconced wristwatches. Their Timeframes collection runs a wide gamut, including some watches that share both digital and analog faces with others that use a futuristic LED interface.
