Richard Mille Monographs

Making a significant impact on the world of horology isn't a simple task. But since the first Richard Mille watch was created in 2001, the Swiss luxury brand has changed the way we look at timepieces. Monographie I profiles the first decade of Mille timepieces up to 2011, comprised of 41 different watches — from the RM 002 to the RM 59-01 model — with excellent photographs and detailed technical specifications on each timepiece. Monographie II covers 2011 - 2016 and provides the same treatment for 35 additional watches, along with profiles on some of the brand's famous owners like John Malkovich and Rafael Nadal, the latter of which was recently seen donning an RM27-03 during his U.S. Open Championship victory. Other notable owners include Floyd Mayweather and Odell Beckham Jr., who sported an RM 11-03 McLaren Flyback Chronograph on the field during his Cleveland Browns debut. Each hardbound volume includes beautiful color photography throughout and is finished with a Skyvertex Sylktouch cover.

A minimal "Dictionary" embossed on the cover lets you know what's inside.

Individually made by hand in New York, each copy has the word "Thesaurus" embossed into its 100% leather cover, keeping things minimal and to the point.

Vafels Plant-Based Waffles

Made in Boulder, Colorado, these plant-based waffles are an energy bar alternative, great for snacking in-between meals, after a workout, mid-trail or mid-ride.

It's then infused with pearl sugar imported from Belgium and finished in an authentic Liège waffle iron. They're best toasted in a conventional toaster, and you should never microwave them. If you're taking them on the go or you're just short on time, let them thaw for a few hours and enjoy at room temperature. They arrive partially frozen in environmentally friendly, compostable packaging and should be thrown in the freezer immediately. Available in original and gluten-free varieties.
