Grand Seiko: The History of Japan's Finest Watchmaker
ERG Media's most ambitious book yet traces Grand Seiko's evolution from a small mountain workshop in 1960 to one of the most respected names in modern horology. Created in close collaboration with the brand and photographed on location across Japan and at the Grand Seiko New York Boutique, the book goes beyond watches to explore the landscapes, workshops, and philosophy behind every watch the brand produces. The connection between nature and craft is the thread running through all 320 pages. Housed in a wooden slipcase that mirrors the architectural design of Grand Seiko's flagship boutiques, it's as much an object as it is a book.

Native Union Fold Laptop Stand
Yes, they're called "laptops". No, they're not all that comfortable to use anywhere but literally in your lap. Native Union's Fold stand elevates and angles portable computers to make them more ergonomic while increasing airflow. The 14º viewing angle encourages better posture and works great with portable keyboards and mice for a hands-off experience. Made from durable, lightweight aluminum with non-slip pads, it folds down for easy toting — as the name suggests — and comes with a carry pouch to prevent on-the-move scratches.
