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

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. -Martin Luther King, Jr., (January 15, 1929-April 4, 1968)

Graphic collaboration between Cortez Groupe & Socity. Hats off to the super talented Mr. Raker and of course Mr. King for his words I have a dream.

To be continued…

The craftsmanship of knives has intrigued me since I was a kid. Whether playing in the streets or away at camp, the feeling of having a pocket knife always provides a voyeuristic feeling of safety.

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