862180 Kiel Sport_Bezel.jpg__PID:734e5d25-533b-401b-b937-05986886b71f

Laco’s newest pilot chronograph blends the German brand's aviation heritage into a modern ultra-capable tool watch. With one foot planted in the past and the other in the future, the Kiel Sport is a contemporary take on the classic Flieger, weaving a Type A dial into a tri-compax chronograph. Its 43mm sandblasted stainless steel case, a matte gray, is water resistant to 100m. The Kiel Sport is powered by the Laco 500, a Sellita SW500-derived automatic chronograph caliber. If you’re looking for a rugged aviation-inspired watch to take on your next journey, look no further than the Laco Kiel Sport. It can take whatever the road — or flight plan — ahead might throw at it.

Citizen’s Promaster line is built to endure anything on Land, in the Sea, and in the Air. The new Skyhawk A-T is a value-packed addition to the brand's Air line, featuring a 46mm stainless steel case with an integrated bracelet or strap. This may seem large, but the Skyhawk A-T has much to offer. Featuring Citizen’s iconic Eco-Drive technology, the Skyhawk A-T’s quartz module is equipped with a chronograph, a perpetual calendar, dual-time, UTC display, two alarms, a 99-minute countdown timer, and power reserve indicator complications. While hopefully unnecessary in a watch designed for pilots, the Skyhawk A-T is water resistant to 200m. Available in multiple dial options, there’s a Skyhawk for every adventure.

Moma_Sliding-Calendar_01-v1718660204360.jpg__PID:f6e7a192-1cda-43ae-997a-0422561cdc17

Designed by Giancarlo Cipri while a student at the School of Visual Arts and released by the Museum of Modern Art’sDesign Store, the MoMa Sliding Perpetual Calendar is a minimal calendar of recycled acrylic that allows the tracking of the date by simply moving the sliding circles along their paths. Cipri was intent on making sure it met three main criteria: it needed to be fun to use, it had to be an evergreen design, and it needed to be versatile. Standing just 12 inches tall, the Sliding Perpetual Calendar is the perfect companion for your workspace — or any space, for that matter.
