Bernhard Willhelm x Mykita 70s-style Franz and Luke sunglasses

Posted on | Leave a comment

If you want some retro-style sunglasses that are guaranteed to make an impact in the sun, you should check out the Bernhard Willhelm x Mykita Franz and Luke sunglasses, which are now available from Oki-Ni.

Both of these stylish designs are limited editions and both are inspired by skiing, in particular, the 1976 Innsbruck Winter Olympics – we're guessing Franz is dedicated to downhill ski legend Franz Klammer, but we're not sure about Luke. Any ideas?

For your money, you get aviator-style glasses in mirrored gold, matching gold-coloured frames and a rather hip case to store them away. See over the page for a picture of the other pair, with both available now for £249.

eBay watch: 1970s Dieter Rams-designed Braun DW30 digital watch

Posted on | Leave a comment

Rams_watch

It certainly isn't in 'as new' condition, but the Braun DW30 digital watch is certainly a rare and collectable timepiece – and it's on eBay right now.

Designed by hugely influential industrial designer Dieter Rams, along with Dietrich Lubs back in 1978, it really is classic Rams – style, simplicity and functionality, with the smallest detail every bit as important as the largest. All the (fairly basic) functions still work on it and according to the seller, the watch has been professionally cleaned and given new batteries.

Just a shams about the worn condition really – not really bad, but you would ideally hope for better, especially in view of the price. it's on a 'Buy It Now' for £750 or a 'Best Offer' if you want to chance your arm. See below for more images and background detail.
