I stumbled on Eleven Eleven watches over at Barneys Coop on the Upper West Side, I like the preppy attitude… It’s almost like Panarai, Swatch and Nixon had a threesome… Oh yeah and the double “e” logo is a nice nod to Gucci. Good job 11:11

These knives on the other hand, provide beauty and function. Enjoy!
