Ha! It’s finally here! My have we been waiting for this one, but now we have it in our hands: Michael Young’s Ultranoir for women!
For those of you not quite as familiar with one of our favorite products, here’s a formal introduction:
The PXR-5 is designed by Michael Young, designer extraordinaire from the UK and part of the Established & Sons group around Zaha Hadid. The watch itself is wonderfully simple, it shows the time, the date and seconds–what more do you need–and has a beautiful blue light with cast an elegant glow at night. The case is about an inch and a quarter wide and the inner height is 3/4 of an inch (2 cm) and the total height is an inch and a half (3,8 cm). The interchangeable velcro bracelet is 3/4″ wide and can be set to a minimum of 6.5″ (16,5 cm) and a max of 8″ (20 cm), leaving you with plenty of options to wear it. The bands are NOT the same as the men’s version, so they can’t be shared…
Price: $110 / 99€

Here’s another beautiful accessory by the wonderfully talented Sandra Bautista (you didn’t miss Thursday’s Soupe, or did you?).
She presented these at Designboom alongside ICFF and they are such a wonderful display of her creativity: Pins that are attached to each other, with one finishing the sentence the other started. So one might read ‘Love’ and the other ‘Me’, or alternatively ‘Inspire’ and ‘Me’. There’s not much more to say, except that the pins are 25 mm / 1″ wide, metallic gold with black type and a black chain attaching one to the other.
Really quite lovely…
Price: $15 / 12€
