Braun quietly made its play to re-enter the world of watches a few years back, now taking another step forward to commision Dietrich Lubs — who worked alongside Dieter Rams — to recreate the AW 10 and AW 50 models. And, as reinventions go, it’s something of a statement — the AW 10 having been the brand’s first ever analogue wristwatch, created in tandem by Lubs and Rams back in 1989, with the main driver back then being a shared desire to display the time in ‘the most functional way possible’ and embody Rams’ oft-quoted 10 Principles of Good Design. The AW 50 came along shortly after, first introduced in 1991, with the guiding principle of simplifying the design even further — removing the numbers and minute track — while also adding a date function.
For the 2017 editions, Braun commissioned Lubs to design a new take on the two shapes, making use of all that’s available in the watch world to create a timepiece that’s both classic and contemporary. The AW 10 and AW 50 each cost £200 GBP (approximately $256 USD) and are available from Braun’s web store.
Braun’s last reissue was a collaboration clock with BEAMS.
F.C. Real Bristol, the fictional football team from SOPH., is back — just in time for the start of the season — with its 2017 fall/winter collection, teasing campaign imagery yesterday with a selection of plastic, seemingly subbuteo-inspired figures.
And, following hot on the heels of the teaser, we’re treated today to a full unveiling of the collection — a concise drop, focusing on warm-up tracksuits, training tops in both long and short sleeves, and a selection of shorts and socks to round things off. As always with F.C. Real Bristol, the collection would work as either casual wear or as a full five-a-side kit, depending on your inclination. The range will be available from SOPHNET. outlets from August 26.
ADIDAS and Yohji Yamamoto‘s Y-3 continues to push out new, slick footwear options for the fall season, the latest being the Kozoko High in “Core Black.” Launching after the Kozoko Low in “Reflective Silver” and a new “Black Olive” rendition, the BOOST-equipped runner returns in a high-top silhouette and a stealthy all-black colorway. The sock-like upper boasts a neoprene mesh construction with what appears like carbon fiber and leather overlays. Contrasting material textures — i.e. perforated detailing, polished coating and matte finish — give some dimension to the murdered-out model, while a black BOOST midsole lives up to the “Core Black” designation.
The adidas Y-3 Kozoko High “Core Black” is slated to drop sometime in September at select Y-3 retailers such as Livestock. Check back for updates and let us know if this is a cop or drop. In the meantime, check out Y-3 Nico High in “Core Black/Silverite” for another all-black model that’s slightly more daring.
Featuring a faster EXPEED 5 image processor, all those megapixels are used at its full potential combined with the same AF system — 153 focus points, 99 cross-type sensors and a dedicated AF processor — as the flagship D5. Additionally, photographers will have 7 FPS of continuous shooting.
The continuous shooting equates to 513 consecutive shots in 14-bit RAW (NEF) or 170 shots in 12-bit lossless compressed RAW (NEF) while allowing for a seamless transition between the size of your RAW files: Large (45.7 MP), Medium (25.6 MP) and Small (11.4 MP). Nikon has also put its highest magnification optical viewfinder ever into the D850 with a 0.75x rate.
In additional to be a photographer’s dream, the D850 will also be a videographer’s best friend with full-frame 16:9 4K UHD (3840×2160) movie recording capabilities. Slow-motion can also be recorded at 1080p and sequenced at 4x (shoot at 120p, playback at 30/25p) or 5x (shoot at 120p, playback at 24p). Using Silent Live View Mode, you can render 8K time-lapse movies by shooting sequences of up to 9,999 full-size stills. About 70 minutes of video can be shot on a single charge while nearly 1,840 shots at full resolution are possible.
The Nikon D850 is available for pre-oder now on Nikon’s website for $3,299.95 USD and is expected to release in September.
