Captn Vaiaro Autonomous Electric Ferry

As autonomous and electric systems take over the waterways, partners from Kiel University and the University of Applied Sciences image the future of public transportation, and the Captn Vaiaro was born. Standing for Clean Autonomous Public Transport Network, the electric ferry concept is envisioned on the Kiel Fjord to transport passengers from the west and east side with an electric propulsion system, resulting in quiet journeys with zero emissions. The prototype has spawned two designs — a sleek, glazed vessel and a rectangular ferry with a lattice-style covering — both creating an experience that makes the ferry ride a must for visitors and residents alike.

The James Brand × Timex Automatic GMT Watch

Everyday carry enthusiasts should be familiar with The James Brand and their tasteful, minimalist designs. For this timepiece, they've teamed with Timex on an explorer-friendly GMT. It has a 41mm titanium case, with a contrasting emerald 24-hour bezel and a emerald dial outfitted with white Super LumiNova indexes and hands. A black GMT hand allows for tracking the time across multiple zones and provides a pop of color; a date window at 3 o'clock completes the dial. Powered by an automatic Miyota movement, it's limited to 750 examples and sits on a titanium bracelet.
