A visible clock can be a noticeable drain on productivity. The Best Made Co. Workshop Clock solves this issue by tucking the time away inside a rugged metal box when focusing on the task at hand is more important than counting the hours. The clock is made in Japan with a sweeping seconds quartz movement, black dial, and white markings in Best Made's custom "Indicator" typeface. The box, meanwhile, is built and powder-coated in the USA, both hiding the clock when necessary and protecting it from workshop mishaps. The box has a foldout handle for tabletop/bookcase use and can be separated from the clock to let the latter hang on its own.

Pair it with the HMM Project Patio and turn your daily pour over process into a museum-quality experience. Patio sold separately.

Best known for the distinctive sound it provides for announcing the start and finish of a round of boxing, this bell is made of steel with a durable black powder coat finish.

Onsen's relaxed, minimalist towels were already our go-to, and now we've taken their hue to our preferred end of the spectrum. Made with American-grown Supima cotton, these special edition black towels are made with longer fibers in a weave pattern that provides an exceptionally soft texture that's also fast-drying. But the key to this obsessively designed towel set isn't what Onsen added, but rather what they eliminated. Standard bath towels go through a chemical bathing process so they feel fluffy — at least at first. Instead of short-lived softness that washes away, Onsen builds in softness from the beginning and utilizes no chemical processes. Bypassing these common treatments eliminates the artificial fluff, resulting instead in a naturally plush surface that just gets better and better, making this quite possibly the last towel set you'll need.

Perhaps the most iconic piece of clothing worn by James Bond in Skyfall, the traditional peacoat from then under-the-radar Alabama-based Billy Reid developed a story and cult status of its own. After learning Daniel Craig had purchased the same coat for himself prior to filming Skyfall, a small, in-house team at Billy Reid began an effort to have the coat placed organically in the upcoming Bond film. Successful in that mission, the peacoat went viral in the 007 community, selling out countless times, backordered for over 2 years, before finally being placed in the brand's core collection. Now available again in the same heavy 80% wool / 20% nylon blend as used in the film, it's not quite bulletproof, but you might feel that way slipping it on. Ideal for clandestine missions and polar vortexes alike.

If you happened to read Uncrate Issue 01, you'd know that dynamo designer Aaron Draplin has a love for Americana. So we're sure he was thrilled to get to design his very own stamp. The "Star Ribbon", like much of Draplin's work, feels simultaneously modern and historic, with a classic folded ribbon design that represents the connectedness of the American people. Subtle gradients give it depth, a second, smaller star in the middle focuses the eye, and lightweight, sans-serif type at the bottom denotes its use and country of origin. The stamp will be sold in coils of 10,000 and in panes of 20, and since it works forever, we recommend stocking up beginning March 22, 2019.
Deceptively complex and surprisingly heavy, this pool ball-sized puzzle makes a terrific addition to your desk. It's crafted from three identical pieces of die-cast stainless steel, with satin-finished exteriors and pebbled interiors. Lined up precisely along six points, the three pieces slide effortlessly together to form a sphere, and once together, slide open and closed like a lens' aperture blades. Arrives with a contrasting brass-finish display stand.

It's far from the first at-home keg device, but it might be the best designed. Created by Yota Kakuda for the Japanese brewery, the Kirin Home Tap is a sleek white countertop kegerator tied to a monthly subscription service that delivers two one-liter kegs twice a month, straight from the factory to customers' doors. Although they're hidden inside the device, great care was given to the plastic kegs, as well — they're designed by 6D founder Shogo Kishino and have a unique coating that prevents oxygen from spreading and ruining the beer. As you might imagine, the service is limited to Japan for now and initially proved so popular that Kirin closed registration, with a list of over 15,000 people to be notified when it opens again.
Building on the company's best-in-class mapping technology, the iRobot Terra plans to do the same thing for your lawn that the Roomba did for your floors. To install it, you simply place wireless beacons around your yard and drive it around the perimeter. Imprint Smart Mapping technology takes over from there, mowing only where it should, in human-like, back-and-forth lines, automatically charging when needed before resuming cutting where it left off. A companion app can be used to adjust the cutting height and control when it cuts. It goes on sale in Germany this year, with a beta program for the United States.
Crafted from solid brass, this fountain pen is built to last a lifetime. The pen is treated with a matte black finish that will wear off over time, creating a personalized patina based on your specific use. A matching matte black stand made of solid brass is included with a plastic cap liner inside to ensure the ink won't dry out in the nib while in the stand. And if waiting for that patina is too much of a challenge, you can customize the look of your fountain pen using the included sheet of sandpaper that removes as much or as little of the black coating as you choose.

Your mattress obviously plays a huge role in your sleep quality. The ambient lighting matters too. In its quest to provide a complete sleep solution, Casper has built the Glow Light. Designed to help you fall asleep, it uses warm LEDs cast through a diffuser that gradually darken over time. Its gesture-based controls are ideal for groggy, middle-of-the-night use — flip it over to turn it on, shake it for a dim, downward-cast glow, and twist it to adjust the brightness. They can be linked together, acting as a single system, charge wirelessly, and can be customized via an app with an alarm feature that will wake you up as gradually as it lulled you to sleep.
Inspired by the calm cabin life described by Henry David Thoreau in his book Walden, this candle is meant to provide a bit of that "life in the woods" environment to help you take a break from the high-stress world we inhabit.

It borrows the hexagonal shape of the classic pencils of your youth, but that's where the comparisons end with this luxurious mechanical pencil.

Standard Industries is the largest roofing manufacturer in the world. If their bet on subsidiary GAF Energy is right, they could soon become the largest solar roofing manufacturer, as well. Their DecoTech system is designed to integrate into the roof like a skylight, avoiding the pitfalls of rack-mounted systems. The panels, while lacking the seamless style of solar roof tiles, offer higher output and a 25-year warranty, and can be installed during the building of a home or during a re-roofing of an existing structure.
Surge protectors and extension cords are ugly. Conway Electric decided to put an end to that by creating their series of Extō Smart Chip extension outlets. Taking things even further, we've released an exclusive blackout version of their 6-outlet, surge-protected Extō 720 and standard 2-outlet Extō model with the addition of up to 5AMPS of USB-C capability, powerful enough to charge laptops. In addition to their 3-prong tamper resistant outlets, each features a USB-C and a standard USB-A port that both automatically adjust to the charging speed best suited to the device, then shut off when the device is fully charged, preventing over-charging that leads to shortened battery life. Non-marking feet allow the units to sit on surfaces with minimal shifting, and self-tapping screw holes on the back of each unit allow for wall mounting. The 6-foot cord on both models is wrapped in braided cotton insulation and is rated to 13 amps, and the entire steel assembly is made in the USA.
