If you’re out for a new pair of cufflinks after the holidays you better check out these sterling silver ones made out of authentic New York City subway tokens. They measure .5" across and are indeed made out of the real tokens used in NYC between 1953 to 1970.
Just when people stopped drooling over the LED-key Optimus Maximus keyboard Art. Lebedev Studio hits us with yet another progressive keyboard, a concept (hopefully-soon-to-become-reality) dubbed Optimus Tactus.
This time they’ve removed the keys all together. This keyboard is just one, big touch-screen (a “one sensor display”) allowing you (and the software you use) to customize, resize and rearrange they keys however you want to, including showing videos. This way you could have it to show selected tool icons along with a color selector while running Photoshop, just media buttons while watching movies and so on.

Here’s the Vulcania, a steampunk concept watch designed by Fabrice Gonet and made into reality by HD3 Complication. Don’t get your hopes up on getting one of these titanium and platinum Jules Verne and submarine influenced masterpieces though, there’s only eleven made (which in turn indicates a pretty impressive price tag, sigh).
Read on for a close-up image, there’s some incredible details on this watch:
I’m just getting ready to head off to my folk’s place to celebrate Christmas and I couldn’t find a more suiting product to write about than another Art. Lebedev Studio creation; SHAR-404. A set of six hand-painted glass camouflage balls for the X-mas tree. That’s subtle tree decoration if any.
Anyway, Merry Christmas everyone!
