The Dango Wallet is an all-in-one multifunctional tool

By Ann Binlot Published October 31, 2016

Do you ever have the need for a bottle opener, a knife, a saw, or some other random tool that would help out in a pinch, but found that there’s nothing around?

Look no further — the folks at Dango came up with something that provides all those things and more. According to its makers, the D01 Dapper Wallet was designed “to appeal to a user that wants
a wallet that is low key, but exudes style, luxury and a bit of edge.” Its handier counterpart, the T01 Tactical Wallet includes a tactical tool with 10 functions: a knife, saw, paracord tensioner, hex wrench, smartphone stand, ruler, bottle opener, nail remover, and more.

Everything is made and handcrafted in the USA and the wallets come in genuine leather in colorways like jet-black and golden whiskey. The special tool is made of aerospace-grade aluminum. It’s also super thin, measuring at .3 inches when six cards are stored in it. If you’re traveling, simply remove the tool and put it in your checked bag. Need a bottle opener at that party and can’t find anything? The Dango wallet will take care of that. Riding your bike around town, and all of a sudden your seat becomes loose? The Dango wallet will take care of that, too. Need to cut off that annoying snag? The Dango wallet will help you out in a pinch. Finally, you don’t have to carry around a wallet and a pocketknife. The Dango D01 Dapper Wallet and the T01 Tactical Wallet combines a wallet and a multi-functional tool all in one.

Christopher Nolan and Hamilton made a bronze watch fit for The Odyssey

Hamilton and Christopher Nolan team up again, with a bronze field watch for timed for the debut of The Odyssey.

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Here's a first for a company that's spent decades sticking its watches into movies: this one was built for a film it can never actually appear in. That's the twist on the Khaki Field Auto The Odyssey Limited Edition, Hamilton's latest team-up with Christopher Nolan tied to his upcoming epic The Odyssey (in theaters July 17).

Since the film is set in the Bronze Age, it's pretty unlikely that anybody was wearing a wristwatch. For us in the modern age, though, the new watch's 42mm case is bronze (it'll develop its own patina over time). The black dial looks like Odysseus's helmet; there are a pair of sword-shaped hands in bronze, and the 12 o'clock index is modeled on a rivet from the scabbard. You get the idea. Meanwhile, the titanium case back is engraved with the helmet and Nolan's signature.

VERO Watches drops a watch reminding you forest fire prevention is all you

VERO Smokey Bear Blue Skies sends 10% of proceeds to prevent forest fires

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

VERO Watches is built to find the man who embraces his lineage. I am not talking about his nationality. I am not talking about his race or his heritage. I am talking about the lineage that brought us from the caves and the frontier to the more civilized and modernized world we recognize today. These are watches for explorers. These are watches for the man who ditches the cubicle and the office. The boardroom is a prison for our adventurous spirit, and VERO figured that out and is creating watches to help the man disappear from that existence to reclaim his place in the wilderness. Now that the dramatic part is over, I can tell you about the new drop featuring one of our favorite characters from our childhood, Smokey the Bear. The new VERO Smokey Bear Blue Skies is set up to remind all of us of one single truth.

Preventing forest fires is your responsibility

Watches That Celebrate America

What makes an American watch today? We explore the brands keeping the country's horological tradition alive.

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

My first horological crushes were glamorous European supermodels with names like Cartier, Audemars Piguet, and Patek Philippe. As my tastes matured, the Far East captured my fancy when I discovered the restrained elegance of Naoya Hida, Grand Seiko, and Hajime Asaoka. But every rambling heart eventually finds its way home. Now, a seasoned chronophile, I'm head over heels for all-American beauties.

I sat down with American horology hero Cameron Weiss to learn about the history of Yankee watchmaking. After cutting his teeth at Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin, Cameron founded Weiss Watch Company, a trailblazer in the revival of American mechanical watchmaking. Cameron also hosts two of the internet’s most entertaining watch podcasts: Watch & Listen and The Watchmaker’s Workshop.
