this particular time our minds departed from the confines of the concrete jungle and wandered to the vast plains of the australian outback.  there a beautiful yet simple structure stands. it is a monument to pure necessity.
with only a 3m x 3m footprint, “permanent camping” was built under the guidance of the architect and visionary casey brown.  constructed mostly out of recycled iron bark, the tower sits perched atop a mountainous ridge so as to provide panoramic views of the surrounding areas.  the beautifully crafted cabin houses a sleeping loft and kitchen, two simple amenities that allow for a true retreat into the wilderness.
sometimes less is just more.

david sokosh is that master and his custom brooklyn watches are a showcase of art encapsulated in machine.  named for the city in which they are made, these watches are powered by swiss, 17 jewel, manual wind pocket watch movements produced in the 1970′s, meaning they never need batteries, just a simple wind, daily. 
the one of a kind watches are available through his website, davidsokosh.com, and also at the brooklyn flea market. and if one happens to sell out that you absolutely cannot live without, david will personally make one for you with a turnaround time of 5 months.
these custom watches range between $800 and $1600.
check them out.

opened in 2012, friend is nestled in the heart of the fashion forward magazine street of new orleans. proprietor parker hutchinson is the personification of true passion followed, greater calling heard. practicing law no more than a year ago in nyc, parker left the legal world to pursue that calling and passion and filled a much needed niche in the new orleans market…a men’s store catered to those looking for the unique brands that have come to define a new generation of style.
with brands like saturday surf, vanishing elephant, herschel, and dcoy. friend offers a variety of brands that are difficult to find anywhere else in the city.
so if you are lucky enough to find yourself in the big easy, be sure to go out and support our friend, parker, and his store, friend. they won’t let you down.
