? A MoMa watch that can capture stares
? Jeffrey Iba?ez’s Futuristic and Environment-Friendly Work Space
? Don’t miss out: FITC Toronto this weekend
Product Recommendation: Casio Digital Watch
This petite watch secured a coveted spot in the well-curated MoMa store. It’s also TSA-full proof (Is that a good thing?) and it looks super vintage (even though it’s brand-spanking-new).
And one more thing … It has Naomi Piercey ’s endorsement. She wears cool stuff every day to the office at Coalesce | Digital Product Agency , and this watch helps her keep time during our back-to-back, creative-focused, content-driven meetings together. “This watch garners more interest than anything I’ve ever known. It’s faux vintage, so it looks like it could have witnessed two terms of Reagan in the White House, but it works just like new.”?
Purchase it now: $60 exact watch at MOMA.?
Purchase it now: $49 very similar version at Amazon.

“We are now embarking on an exciting new chapter with the establishment of Impact Lab, our cutting-edge R&D studio. Here, we channel our passion to develop innovative acoustic technologies and materials, utilizing natural resources and recycled materials, pushing the boundaries of what is possible,” he says.
