Original B-UHR IWC Observer’s Pilot Watch, made for the WWII Luftwaffe. These large watches (55mm!) contained high-quality pocket-watch movements for use in aircraft navigation.
They were attached to the arm with long leather straps that fit around the outside of the flying clothing. Very few of these authentic watches were issued, with only a handful surviving WWII.

Inspiration Station aka 13th Witness
Day off in Salt Lake City, UT… Milling around the Apple store, met a guy named Ben who said he had a print shop featuring old style letterpressing… his business card definitely lived up to the hype. He offered to show us around the shop and we obliged… Spent about 90 minutes looking at amazing paper stock as well as some beautiful old print machines that he had restored. Never one to walk away empty handed, I asked if we could all have a go at working on a simple project. Ben broke out the old letter press blocks and since our favorite show is Eastbound and Down we decided to make a print of our favorite tour exclamation made famous by BMW dealer Ashley Shaeffer, “WOOH!”
Everyone involved got a chance to turn the lever and produce at least one print. We didn’t expect to love the finished product as much as we do, but we do… limited edition of 13, maybe I’ll slip a few into the merchandise booth and split the profits with the guys so we can buy a case of beer and some new Wiffle balls.
Keep an eye out for some cool limited edition letterpress goodies coming in the next few months… And thanks to Ben Webster at The Mandate Press.

I feel like anybody who is against the building of an Islamic Cultural Center near Ground Zero isn’t contesting that they’re being intolerant, rather they’re arguing (however spuriously) that they’re being justifiably intolerant. It reminds me of another specious debate, “is water-boarding torture?” OF COURSE IT IS!
The question hiding beneath it is “is waterboarding justifiable torture?” Mind you, this is not the kind of thing you want to be honest enough to articulate if you believe it, because as soon as you admit that water-boarding is torture and similarly that not wanting to build an Islamic Cultural Center is fundamentally intolerant, you realize that there really isn’t a way to rationalize justifying either.
So instead you get this circuitous half-logic that doesn’t add up because people aren’t really saying what they’re thinking.

Controversial, maybe. Brilliant, DEFINITELY. Right. Absolutely. [Opinion by Mia].
