The Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller. There are few things that could be classed as truly bombproof, and this is one of them. If I ever have a spare ten thousand to spend on a watch, this will be it.

Windows Phone 7. Something that could have been great but just isn’t really going anywhere in my eyes. By far the best UI/UX of any smartphone platform, though.

The Mondaine Swiss railway watch. Beautiful, simple, and ultra-reliable. This is the best way to show people that you’re a punctual person, if being on time for everything in your life just isn’t enough. I’m getting one of these.

Samsung’s Flexible AMOLED ‘Skin phone’ Concept. 99.9% of people won’t like the idea of this, not because it is ugly or impractical, but because it is outside of their comfort zone.

Here’s a screenshot of a video that Microsoft made showing us what their future vision of technology will be. This handheld device is my favourite, and I think its UI is beautiful. I recommend the subway scene from the video in order for you to truly understand what I mean.

Sweden’s Hotel of Tree Houses. This only excites me because it takes me back to my childhood again; I mean, after a couple of hours I’d feel sick at the thought of being in a suspended cabin thirty feet up in the air.

The Little Printer, a rather intriguing device with an interesting function. However, I can see the novelty of it wearing off pretty quickly. Unless, of course, I’m looking at it with the wrong attitude.
Read all about it here.

The white iPad 2. Undoubtedly one of my favourite Apple products, this thing screams out Apple - white looks awesome; it harks back to the old iMac G4. iOS on a big screen is a winner for me.

Everyone copies Apple, but people forget that Apple also copies everyone. Everyone copies each other, and it’s sad that companies can get really petty and childish about it.
Those more observant will know what the image above is hinting at, if not, then read this.

Sir Jonathan Ive needs no introduction. The guy’s received a knighthood, and boy does he deserve it. Really, this man should be worshipped in the same way Steve Jobs was.

There’s something stunning about a ridiculously complicated wristwatch. Richard Mille’s timepieces are like that Mansory Rolls-Royce - beauty in excess.

I love pursuit bikes. Unlike most bikes, they look like they’re going a million miles per hour even when they’re standing still.

I use Bose headphones not because they have a Bose logo on them, but because they sound awesome, and they fold up neatly to fit in my bag. Simple as that.

The Mansory Conquistador. There’s much beauty in excess, you know.

The Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus - the best way to experience Android, because it’s how Google wants you to experience Android. Yes, a little Apple-esque (not that there’s anything wrong with that, it’s just a little ironic given the context) but unlike Apple, Google treats you like an adult and doesn’t hold your hand through the process of using their OS.

A lot of designers are big fans of Apple; while I’m dubious about the company’s mobile devices, there’s something about a well-setup Mac that excites a part of my brain. People need to appreciate design for what it is, regardless of the logo stuck on the back of the product.
