DYSON – ONTRAC HEADPHONES

Posted on 2024-07-15

Dyson has announced its first-ever set of audio-only headphones, OnTrac, a follow up to its hybrid headphones-meets-air-purifier product from 2023, the Dyson Zone, that drew comparisons to Bane and featured in our best headphones round-up earlier this year. With a singular focus on sound this time, the brand has built on its audio debut and delivered improved battery life, noise-cancelling and newly introduced customisation options, putting the new OnTrac headphones on par with the best flagship devices available from other brands.

Amongst the new product’s many attributes, Dyson is touting the OnTrac’s active noisae-cancelling (ANC) as “best-in-class” and the headphones feature eight onboard microphones that sample external sound around the user at an astonishing rate of 384,000 times per second. This is then processed by a new, custom-built ANC algorithm that works together with the headphones’ carefully considered design, construction and material choice to “cancel up to 40dB of unwanted noise.” And, with the MyDyson app (iOS / Android), users are able measure and record the levels of noise they’re exposed to, helping to promote healthy listening habits as well as track noise overexposure.

OMEGA – PARIS 2024 BRONZE GOLD EDITION

Posted on 2024-06-24

In tribute to the three iconic medals at the Olympic and Paralympic Games, this vintage-style timepiece combines gold, silver and bronze in a special celebration of Paris 2024. The unique design is directly inspired by a classic OMEGA wristwatch from 1939 that housed the famous 30T manual-winding small seconds calibre.

The 39 mm brushed case is crafted in OMEGA’s exclusive Bronze Gold, with a polished bezel, and a vintage OMEGA logo embossed on the crown. Behind the domed sapphire crystal, the dial is made from Ag 925 silver, with a “Clous de Paris” pattern at the center and a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock. In even finer detail, there is a circular brushed pattern on the minute track and subdial minute track, as well as a dark grey vintage OMEGA logo. The 18K Sedna™ Gold hands have been given a special PVD Bronze Gold coating.

On the caseback, the “BG 859” engraving is a reference to Bronze Gold, as well as the shape of the case. This follows the “CK 859” and “OT 859” references used in historic technical sheets. There is also a stamped and frosted medallion with a mirror-polished Paris 2024 logo featuring the iconic Olympic rings.

TRICKER’S CABIN: THE ORAL & VISUAL HISTORY OF ONLINE CERAMICS

Posted on 2024-06-17

Step inside Tricker’s Cabin, an encyclopedic look into the tie-dyed, skeleton-filled, joyfully anarchic world of Online Ceramics, the coveted clothing brand founded by Elijah Funk and Alix Ross. From their early days in art school and first time on the road selling Grateful Dead bootleg shirts, this is the origin story of how a homespun T-shirt-selling business evolved into a larger, more philosophical art practice with a singular aesthetic.

Spanning topics as wide-ranging as punk music, haunted houses, veganism, and how to smoke DMT out of a potato, Tricker’s Cabin is a portrait of a unique partnership between two friends and artists who have forever changed our notion of what goes on a T-shirt.
