While the trend of making funky watches with unusual time telling displays continues unabated, sometimes, all we want is a stylish and timeless design that just feels right.... read more »The article Baume & Mercier Clifton GMT first appeared on A BLOG TO WATCH and was written by Adi Soon.

The words “hippie” and “bling” seem to go together like “Amanda Bynes” and “sanity,” but thanks to a generation overwrought with music festivals, hippie bling is totally a thing. It can be crowns at Coachella, bracelets at Bonnaroo, or embellishments at EDC. I’m going to go ahead and confess that I’ve never been to a music festival (which makes me not yet a human being these days) but I have extensively studied all my friends’ festival styles who have been (AKA all of them), so below is some blinging fest-spiration I have compiled for your summer escapades: Just because you’re in a field picking daisies, doesn’t mean you have to forego shiny golden arm cuffs and piles of rings. A key to mastering hippie bling is making sure you don’t leave the house (or tent, or whatever) without some sort of jewels/children’s birthday confetti on your face/eyes. No children’s birthday confetti on hand? No worries – bright metallic eye shadow does the trick. An eye crayon is even better for precision purposes, like this one from Mark in Go Gold. Another key to hippie bling embodient is wearing tons of bracelets at once, just make sure they look like these Kim & Zozi ones, or else you’ll only have the “bling,” not the “hippie.” You could always channel the Olsen twins in this photo – especially whichever twin is on the left. Nothing says hippie bling like embellished chiffon with a hint of Tibetan monk. The statement necklace trend is for hippies, too. You don’t have to look like you stepped out of sorority rush week to work the trend. This ML Accessories necklace has all possible elements of hippie and bling.  images [via][via]

Have you seen me? (Credit: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory/Marilee Bailey) Several miscellaneous bits and pieces of the first moon mission have orbited back into our field of view lately. In March, it was pieces of the rocket that propelled Apollo 11 spaceward, kindly dragged from their watery grave by Amazon CEO and space enthusiast Jeff Bezos. And more recently, the auction block played host to Buzz Aldrin's space jammies, as well as Neil Armstrong's heartbeat as he first set foot on the lunar surface. Now, thanks to Karen Nelson, a tidy archivist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, about 20 forgotten vials of moon dust collected by Armstrong and Aldrin have been rescued from a grave of their own: a warehouse at the Berkeley lab, where they'd sat quietly gathering, um, Earth dust for the last 40 years or so.

The Royal KonTiki Two Time Zones by Eterna is a handsome watch, but watch industry pundits will no doubt consider the bigger story being the first appearance of the new Calibre 39 in a production watch. It couldn't have happened soon enough. When the Calibre 39 was announced this year, its appearance seemed to embody [...]... read more »The article Eterna Royal KonTiki Two Time Zones Watch first appeared on A BLOG TO WATCH and was written by Adi Soon.

This church offers hope to all. Even porn stars. (Credit: ABC News/YouTube Screenshot by Chris Matyszczyk/CNET) That which people project is not necessarily an expression of that which remains inside. This simple truth is one that has saved me even more often than relative sobriety in the early hours of many mornings. It's a truth that's apparently confirmed by figures emerging from a famous hub of pornography. For they suggest that even in the most outwardly saintly parts of America, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. I am grateful to PandoDaily for turning me (on) to an analysis by PornHub, which -- so several priest friends tell me -- is an extremely popular haven for the naked and the nubile. PornHub took it upon itself as a civil and moral duty to discover whether cities that officially revere religion are more prone to pornographic abstinence than places where mammon, mammaries, and man-love hold sway. To judge the religiousness of cities, the site used Gallup Healthways Well-Being Index. It might be hard for some to swallow, but PornHub found that centers of rectitude such as Montgomery, Huntsville, and Birmingham, Ala., are watching mor...

Warning: This article is not for vegetarians. I’ve given red meat a bad rep. Mainly because I’m vegeterian, and am scared to try it. Anyway I’ve already warned you that this recipe is for meat lovers only. Does anyone agree with the statement that country birds produce one of the most delicious and underrated meats in the world (as long as it’s cooked medium rare). I have no answer, because this isn’t my thang but you guys should make this sandwich and let me know. Apparently this pigeon breast sandwich makes a brilliant casual lunch, dinner or snack with a nice salad. Ingredients: 2 red onions, peeled and finely sliced olive oil sea salt white pepper 1 teaspoon soft brown sugar 2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves picked 4 tablespoons red wine vinegar 1 ciabatta loaf 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves picked 4 pigeon breasts, skin on 1 whole nutmeg, for grating 2 bay leaves Worcestershire sauce For preparation click here.
