Ulysse Nardin Dual Time Limited Edition Watch For Thai Airways

High-end Swiss watch maker Ulysse Nardin helped Thai Airways celebrate their 50th anniversary by creating a set of 50 limited edition watches. Ulysee Nardin Dual Time watches have an excellent two timezone feature that allows the wearer to moves a second timepieces ahead or back with ease using the two pushers on the left side of the case. The watch also has a "reference time" that can be used to recall your home time. Having two timezones plus the ability to easily switch between timezones is quite useful to frequent travelers, and thus makes it the perfect base for a watch meant to celebrate an airline.

The 42mm wide steel watch was available with a metal bracelet or alligator strap and displayed the original version of the Thai Airways logo (that was used from 1960 - 1975) on the watch dial (that doubles as the subsidiary seconds dial. Not sure about current availability, but airline memorabilia and Ulysse Nardin watch collectors will love this high-end limited edition watch.

Mango Wood Turned Stool

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor, Art

The Mango Wood Turned Stool can serve many purposes, working equally well as a table, stool, or simply as an artistic element. Hand-turned on a lathe by artisans in Thailand, the unique beauty and character of the mango wood is left to show naturally by leaving the wood untreated, which means no two pieces are alike. I love it and think it's beautiful, although due its mix of natural energy and modern appeal working it into a room's decor would take a skilled vision I think. Its hand-crafted nature means measurements may vary slightly, but are generally 13"W x 18"H and it weighs about 25lbs. $368 from Gaiam.
