TO BE HOPEFUL in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness.
What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places—and there are so many—where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.
And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.

It doesn’t get much more complicated than the A. Lange & Söhne Grand Complication. There’s a reason only 6 will be made.
Complication Poetique Midnight Planetarium
Van Cleef & Arpels Complication Poetique Midnight Planétarium replicates a miniature planetarium telling you not only the time, but the exact moment when, for example, Venus and Jupiter will next align or other astronomical events occur. The timepiece has six rotating disks, each bearing a tiny sphere representing one of the six planets visible with the naked eye. Each planet is depicted with a a hard stone: turquoise for the Earth, serpentine for Mercury, chloromelanite for Venus, red jasper for Mars, blue agate for Jupiter and sugilite for Saturn.
The disks rotate at different speeds so that each sphere makes one revolution around the dial in the time it takes the actual planet it represents – Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The movement of each planet is true to its genuine length of orbit: it will take Saturn over 29 years to make a complete circuit of the dial, while Jupiter will take almost 12 years, Mars 687 days, Earth 365 days, Venus 224 days and Mercury 88 days. Time is indicated by a shooting-star symbol rotating around the dial’s circumference.
Moreover, one can easily celebrate his own lucky day: Using a rotating bezel, the watch’s owner can select the day of his choice by positioning a red triangle against a graduated calendar. On that date, the Earth will move to a position directly below the star engraved on the sapphire crystal, as a sign of good luck.
Price: Standard version, made of rose gold, about $245,000; the diamond-set version is about $330,000.

Porsche Cayman S on ADV05 MV2 (by wheels_boutique)
(via crash--test)
I got hired by Gear Patrol to photograph the Porsche Cayman S - Hands down one of the most beautiful and reasonably priced (in the world of high end metal) sports cars. The writer, Amos, who is my guy at Gear Patrol and who does a lot of their editorial auto work told me this is his favorite car he’s ever driven. Mind you we’ve worked on Ferrari’s, McLaren’s Audi’s, etc. So that’s a booooold statement. In any case - take a look at his article here.
