Imagine you run Concord and get antsy one day. “Everyone else has a crazy one-of-a-kind jewelry watch, why can’t we?” So you take your flagship watch from a couple of years ago an slather it richly with precious diamonds and carnelians just like a deli would put cream cheese and lox on a bagel. In a sense, that is what the Concord C1 EternalGravity tourbillon watch looks like. The diamonds are the cream cheese, and the pink/red carnelians is the smoked salmon. Though it won’t be easy to take a bite out of this massive timepiece that is 48.5mm wide and 18.5mm thick in mostly 18k white gold.

Before it was the EternalGravity, the watch was merely the Concord C1 Tourbillon Gravity watch. The focus being on the tourbillon escapement that was vertically aligned and placed facing outward on the lower right hand of the case.  So perhaps the movement is more interesting because in a sense the artist that made it is dead.

Nixon keeps a decidedly different profile from the usual array of high-end luxury wristwatches we cover, appealing less to the stock broker than to his skater son. But this year the brand has teamed up with the organizers of one of the most hyped-up cross-country rally of exotic automobiles to present a series of special editions under the Nixon x Gumball banner.

The Rubber Player watch pictured above comes in matte black silicon with gold accents on the caseback, crown and dial, and sells for a modest $200. It’s joined by a more exclusive version of the company’s 51-30 wristwatch which will only be provided to rally participants, as well as special edition “e Whip” and “e Wire” headphones made especially for the event at $60 and $75, respectively. They’re available at Nixon retailers along the rally’s route through London, Amsterdam, Boston, Montreal, Toronto and New York, among others. This year’s Gumball 3000 kicks off in London on May 1.

A shoe inspired by the movie Avatar, not sure how many people would rick it though. The fish scale like upper comes in the color of the Na’vi people from the blockbuster Avatar.

It’s being said that only 5 pairs of these shoes will be made and only come in a size 9. Womp, Womp. We’ll for you Avatar junkies, this just may be the limited movie item to have.

Zimmermann has opened their first ever pop-up shop in the USA. Though we Americans can access some of the wild, yet elegant Australian swim and after-swim fashions through Shopbop and some department and specialty stores, many items are exclusive, for North America, to their store at 112 Greene Street (between Prince and Spring). The store also features their capsule collection of footwear and handbags, as well as complementary jewelry collections by Australian designers.

The 2,500 square foot, bright and airy pop-up shop opened Monday, April 12 and will continue through June 30, but Zimmermann is on the hunt for a full-time home in Soho.
