Crown Fire Show

Fire show display outside Crown Casino (Melbourne Australia)

When the flames burst you could really feel the heat and it was insanely loud. If a phoenix existed that’s what it would sound like.

Street Spray Paint Art

On a holiday to Melbourne I managed to see some street spray paint art. It’s really impressive and the posters look like they’ve been professionally printed.

There are two brothers who do these paintings and they take turns doing them. I didn’t manage to capture the full process but its amazing watching the poster transform. I managed to find a video where someone starts from scratch.

Jarager Automatic Tourbillon Watch

This is a pretty cool watch I picked up from Ebay for around $30 (I wouldn’t pay any more than that). (Warning: never buy any decent brand watch from Ebay because its most likely to be fake, the whole paypal buyer protection is a joke, trust me). Its a cheap Chinese brand called “Jarager”.

 

Video Demonstrating Continuous Movement

This particular watch is automatic and has continuous movement.

It has a tourbillon but I’m certain its not real, and its only there for aesthetics. The quality is actually pretty decent but I can’t comment on the accuracy.

 

Air Jordan VI

The Air Jordan VI Varsity Red was retroed in 2010, not to be confused with the Infrared colorway (which has a marginally different red accent).

 

They have used suede instead of nubuck for this release, the icy soles have managed to stay clean and not yellow over the last two  years. These are the kicks MJ wore during his first championship.

Kenneth Cole KC3928 Watch Unboxing and Review

The KC3928 really stands out from other watches because of the nonconforming use of a silver face. Its very elegant and is bound to grab attention. However the main drawback of this watch is the construction. Kenneth Cole does not specialize in making watches and this particular watch is made in China and is likely to have a Chinese movement, I can’t comment on the accuracy because this watch lacks a minute hand. It feels really light and the metal doesn’t have that ‘cold’ feeling. It is a great deal though, because it is reasonably priced and it looks unique. I would recommend this if you can get past the construction and quality issues. Check out the gallery and unboxing below.

Some info:

  • 41mm case (not including crown)
  • Lacks Second hand
  • Luminous Hour and Minute hand

 

Air Jordan V Raging Bull

This is the red pair of Jordan V’s that came in the ‘Raging Bull” DMP also known as ‘Toro Bravo’. The inspiration comes from the ‘Running of the Bulls’ originating from Spain.

This red pair “represents the passion, inspired by MJ’s drive for the game and taking its color from the red bandannas runners in Pamplona wear.”

Emporio Armani Watch Overview AR9018M

The Emporio Armani AR09018M ‘Orologi’ (Watch in italian) is two toned and has a distinctive design. Armani watches are made by Fossil and it is using a Miyota movement (I opened up the watch and checked) which is a fairly accurate quartz movement. Although it is a ‘brand’ watch, it is still well constructed and has a nice feel to it. However many will consider it overpriced, since it is made in China and has no Swiss components.

It is simple yet classy. A chronograph or a date display would add too much clutter.

The watch case has a diameter of roughly 40mm not including the crown. The aesthetics of the watch include a white patterned face, gold hour/minute/second hands and gold numerals. I believe this watch has had inspiration from Panerai. Also note that the Hour and Minute hands are luminous which is pretty useful.
