Crosley Puts a Vintage Spin on Modern Technology
Crosley is a blast from the past, lending an old-time look to the new sounds of modern technology. Crosley was founded back in 1920 when radios were the coolest electronics around. Nowadays, Crosley is replicating its classic designs with a stylish edge for new devices. Whereas a radio used to be just a radio, it is now a well-designed dock for an iPod or iPhone.
Crosley also offers turntables in a classic, retro-style ($149.95 and up). If you still have your old vinyls lying around or just enjoy an old-school sound, Crosley has turntable models that will take you back to the good ole days. These Crosley CD recorders not only play your old vinyls, CDs and cassettes, they also capture cherished sounds from outdated sources for easy transfer to a CD or a computer file.
Jukeboxes used to be found in every diner across the country, but now they’ve disappeared along with disco. Crosley has updated these vintage pieces with LED lighting and a player that reads MP3 files, providing not only a conversation piece for your billiards room, but a practical sound system as well.
All-new Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental
Boeing 747-8 will have you gape. It redefines comfort and air travel to a much higher level and is already being bombarded with bookings. The new flight features a suite with a fully-flat bed, a comfortable armchair and a personal television. No more can one annoying fellow passenger make your trip a nightmare. There is a lounge area inside the main cabin area as well for travelers to laze during a really long journey. There is also a VIP lounge deck with more cushions and chairs. What is stunning is the wine collection on display that one can choose from to sit back and enjoy.
Coming to luggage space, Boeing wants to follow the example of its predecessor 787 with the idea of making large spaces enough for everyone’s bags to fit in. The Boeing 747-8 also comes with new corporate colours red, orange and white, a leap from its former blue and white theme. A fascinating feature of the plane is its ceiling which will allow people to believe that it is taller and wider will help clamp claustrophobia. This is done with LED lighting making the ceiling look like a sky.
Buben & Zorweg Create a Watch Winder
The Buben & Zorweg Python V12 Watch Winder is priced at $55,500. It is for those select few who have a large collection of high end luxury watches that you can’t possibly wear all of them.
This watch winder is targeted for those watch lovers who are particular about keeping their precious collection in good condition because each of the watches could be a collector’s item. The design of the Python V12 watch winder has been inspired by yachts and automotive classics. It comes in two sizes with compartments for 12 or 36 watches. The nauseatingly extravagant winder highlights four of the watches with LED lighting.
The winder features a weather station, humidor and a bar with hand stitched Italian leather and high gloss walnut accents. It is not one of those table top designs but a standalone design that would look great standing next to that solid gold grandfather clock.
Prefab Home, a Plethora of Accessories
Prefab homes are quite popular lately, and contemporary prefab homes are easy to set up and also to live in. The latest prefab home to hit the news is the L41 which is a studio that packs in almost everything that one needs.
It measures 220 sq ft and may not exactly be spacious but it sure comes with built-in storage, living/bedroom space, a kitchen and a bathroom. There is also another model which is slightly bigger and comes with an extra room and those measures 290 sq ft and the 360 sq ft prefab home comes with 2 bedrooms.
These houses are built from beetle killed pine trees and thus are green and eco friendly. Beetle killed trees are also structurally sound and they would not rot even if there is a lot of water or humidity or heat. Apart from the attractive design of the home, you could also expect to find triple-glazed windows, energy efficient appliances, LED lighting, solar heating, heat recovery, and even a pretty little green roof.

According to Livia Marotta, head of communications for Swarovski CGM North America, the mixture of fashion jewelry, timepieces, electronic gadgets and home dƒcor products studded with the brand’s famous precision-cut crystals will vary slightly per store to reflect the personality of the town, neighborhood or street where the boutique is located.
Swarovski currently has more than 230 branded stores across the country.
