“Letterpress” by Naomie Ross

Saturday, July 16th, 2011

While I watch Naomie Ross‘ video, I think “I LOVE the skill and knowledge involved as well as the tactile quality of a press,” but the first thought I have at the end is, “Wow, that’s a lot of trouble.” In any case, this is wonderfully shot and edited. Definitely check her other videos out as well.

Preternatural craftsmanship in a mobile phone

Friday, March 12th, 2010




This is the Remontage Papillon (butterfly rewinding), a cell phone that is a hybrid of micromechanics and microelectronics. That’s right, it is the world’s first micromechanical phone. Touted as having “high emotional value” the Papillon is a result of three years of development by the four-year-old French company Celsiuis X VI II. With a starting price of $275,000, the Papillon is undoubtedly a prestige item. Watchismo has the full run down of the phone, which is set to debut next week.
