Standards Manual

Not content to just reissue outstanding manuals of the past, designers Jesse Reed and Hamish Smyth have launched their own design office — with a unique store up front. North Brooklyn's Standards Manual is named for the duo's past work but isn't limited to selling their own books. On their Vitsoe 606 shelves, you'll find carefully curated graphic design titles from imprints like Chronicle, Phaidon, Hartley and Marks, Prestel, and the UK's notoriously hard to find Unit Editions. The selections are in constant rotation, so while it might be the only dedicated graphic design bookstore in NYC, you can rest assured it won't get stale.

Montegrappa Anytime Perpetual Calendar Pen

Like fine timepieces, quality pens require detailed craftsmanship. That's evident in the perpetual calendar mechanism of the Anytime pen from Paolo Favaretto and Montegrappa. The pen's lid has three notched dials for the date, day, and month that provide haptic feedback when adjusted and lock into place using technology from the company's ratchet piston-fill mechanism. The pen is available in two models: Maestro, with a black resin and Delrin body with stainless steel trim, and Supremo, with a red resin body and yellow gold-plated brass trim. Both rollerball and fountain versions are available; the latter models have 18k gold nibs, and every pen regardless of model is limited to 365 numbered pieces and arrives pre-adjusted to show the date of manufacture.
