Cubitts has teamed up with Hannah Cawley on a pair of sunglasses inspired by a “Frame France” cateye silhouette from the 1950s. Featuring a swept-back front that draws from the mid-century automotive design, each frame is handcrafted in King’s Cross and is fitted with green lenses with frame options in Bone, Caramel, and Khaki.

Cawley founder, Hannah Cawley, on the collaboration:

“When I first started speaking to Tom about making the shape, I had a look for some vintage pairs of sunglasses. The first pair that I saw, I just couldn’t get out of my head. I sent him a picture of those, and only those, as a reference.”

Cawley is now available in a limited run of 24 pieces (8 in each color) and can be purchased at cubitts.com, cawleystudio.com, and Cubitts Soho.

Part of its Objets d’art Collection, the Carillon Tourbillon is a watchmaking exercise at the highest level. The watch celebrates Parmigiani’s 30th anniversary with a stunning edition that references a pocket watch signed by Perrin Frères, a piece restored by Parmigiani’s workshops in 2000.

Inspired by the historic pocket watch’s chiming mechanism, the Carillon Tourbillon is a modern reimagining of this work with four gongs that individually produce a unique sound. One low-pitched gong indicates the hour, one high-pitched gong is reserved for the minutes, and two individual gongs with two different notes are used for the quarters. And together the mechanism can produce a four-note melody.

This is set within a 41.6mm white gold case that is designed specifically to optimize the sound of the chiming mechanism. Powering all of this is Parmigiani’s PF950, a manually-wound movement with a minute repeater flywheel, a 60-second tourbillon, and a power reserve of 10 days.

The Carillon Tourbillon is limited to five examples.

GMC unveiled the Hummer X, a new concept that imagines a modular take on its flagship all-terrain vehicle. Showcased in mid-size and truck form, the Hummer X concepts imagine an extreme off-road complete with a low center of gravity, 35-37″ Goodyear tires, beadlock wheels, Multimatic shocks, removable fender flares, and a ruggedized underbody.

Designed for what the brand calls a “builder maker,” the vehicles were designed from the ground up for modification. The brand’s design team imagined a future that could include access to a suite of apps called the HUMMER HUB, where customers could use accessories like drones to scout the trail ahead.

For the spec junkies, the Hummer X is 188″ long (Hummer EV is 206″) with a 116″ wheelbase, an approach angle of 44 degrees, a departure angle of 46 degrees, and a breakover angle of 30.9 degrees. Ground Clearance is 13.2″ and it sits on 37″ Goodyear tires with 18″ wheels.

The truck version has a length of 207″, a 130″ wheelbase, an approach angle of 41 degrees, a departure angle of 29.7″, and a breakover angle of 24.9.” Ground clearance is 12.5″ and it sits on 35″ Goodyear tires with 22″ wheels.

GMC currently has no plans to put the Hummer X into production.

The new Oura Ring is here and it’s been slimmed down in a massive way with a 40% reduction in thickness, making it the smallest smart ring on the market. The ring’s overall architecture has been fully redesigned, giving it a smoother curvature that feels more natural on the finger, getting it even closer to making the hardware disappear into an everyday piece of jewelry.

Oura Ring 5 has a week of battery life and a new and improved PVD coating that is more scratch-resistant than ever. Constructed out of lightweight titanium, the ring measures over 50 metrics such as sleep, activity, stress, blood pressure trends, and heart rate, and an improved signal architecture with low-profile sensor domes allows for better skin contact for improved accuracy.

Oura Ring 5 is now available for pre-order and ships on June 4th.
