Thank you SJX
That was a truely enjoyable read and great pics. I'm mad about the hour glass, the texture of the nano balls look amazing in the pics. Marc Newson is really a Design capacity allways able to turn out surprising ideas and not "just" coolest style.
The food looks awfull though.

Part I: A closer look at the hour glass

Very cool, but...
The new Ikepod watches have entered a new stratosphere of pricing in comparison to the previous iterations. I can't imagine choosing one given the alternatives at the given price level (with complications and in-house movements, etc.). DJK
Part II: A pair of Ikepod watches

Thanks for the great post SJX. Marc Newson is one of my favorite designers. My favorite of his designs is for Ford, the 021C concept car. Pictures borrowed from www.Yatzer.com...
A Very Good Morning Read
Thank you; seems a very nice presentation (and food is nearly as delightful as the design of the watches). I like Newson's hour glass. Best, Douglas

FORTUNATE to have you You are a godsend to us. Thank you very much. Lovesss*CL
Cool coverage JX.
The ikepod watches actually look quite nice. Thanks again for the great coverage you Purist Twin!
Excellent post! FYI...Marc will have a show in NYC soon.
For those who want to see the Riva, the car, and many other of his designs. It should open around mid-September.
Having met Marc Newson myself, I concur. A very relaxed
yet thoughtful and innovative designer. Love the Hour Glass as a piece of sculpture and a time keeper. Thanks SJX. Andrew H
