A Gentleman’s Post ( It )

Post-it notes just got a whole of a hell lot cooler.

Post-it Brand’s Signature Series has released a new line of limited edition dapper notes. Inspired by the “mad men” of the 1950’s and 1960’s, this is a must have for all you disorganized Don Drapers out there.

The Signature Series is a collection of premium Post-its, page markers, and list pads created by 16 artists ranging in classic to contemporary designs. The collection is to be unveiled this week at the National Stationary Show in New York City, and we can’t get enough of these well-suited pads.

Established artists, illustrators, and pattern makers have gotten into the Post-it game, but the designer behind this particular collection is Morgan Hoff-Golmen, a student at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design.

Hoff-Golmen’s idea behind the design was to create a product for the classic businessman who regularly uses office supplies.  Of course she was inspired by the 1960’s and “Mad Men, as well as illustrated icons that can be found in every day life; dress shoes, ties, as well as the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building.

What makes these notes so cool, aside from their retro-charm, is that everyone can tap into his (or her) creative side. Blank faces and a pair of glasses are practically provoking us to start doodling, and stop to-do-ing.

MING’s newest watch has a dial made of pewter
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Get ready for something interesting with the newest release from MING — a limited edition built around a material almost nobody uses in watchmaking.

The big selling point for the new drop from the Swiss-Malaysian independent watchmaker is a dial made with hand-hammered pewter. In case you didn’t know (and I certainly didn’t), pewter is a tin-based alloy strengthened with small amounts of copper and antimony.

Luminox’s latest Navy SEAL watch hides a message in the dark
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Luminox just released the Navy SEAL 3500 “Semper-Fortis,” a limited edition built around a message that only fully reveals itself once the sun goes down.

That new release is a big boy — a 45mm watch built on Luminox’s Navy SEAL 3500 series. It keeps the collection’s turtle-shaped case but also integrates more features from CARBONOX, the brand’s lightweight composite, than any Navy SEAL model before it: the case, the unidirectional rotating bezel, and bracelet are all built from it.

This under-the-radar German brand just dropped a slick new dive watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Hanhart doesn’t get talked about nearly enough, so here’s a quick backstory: they’re a German brand out of Gütenbach in the Black Forest, they put the first single-button chronograph into series production back in 1938, and a year later they built pilot’s chronographs for the German Air Force. That red pusher button is still on their watches today.

That’s a real, foundational place in watchmaking history; it’s the kind of lore that other brands build entire marketing campaigns around. Somehow, Hanhart still flies under most people’s radar, but their new Aquasphere Matte Black is an argument that folks should be paying attention.
