The Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Skeleton 6-15 Watch ($1895) boasts the all-new Swiss-made STP 6-15 skeletonized automatic movement which makes this a bold evolution of the Super Sea Wolf platform. The Skeleton’s exhibition caseback and dial ensure that the mechanics of the new 6-15v movement are visible from both the front and rear of the watch and guarantee that this will instantly become one of the most unusual and coolest watches in any collector’s lineup of timepieces.

For almost two centuries now, Zodiac has dedicated itself to the precision and craftsmanship associated with Swiss watchmaking and, during that time, they’ve pushed boundaries and the limits of design whilst always innovating to deliver incredibly accomplished, dynamic timepieces, all while staying true to their rebellious spirit and heritage. Never has that dedication to innovation and breaking conventions been more apparent than with their latest iteration of the Super Sea Wolf Compression, this Skeleton 6-15 – and we’re loving it here at Coolector HQ.

The most striking design element of the 6-15 is the Super Chroma K1 crystal bezel, which adds a bold, colourful ombre effect to the already majestic-looking watch. Like all the timepieces in the Super Sea Wolf collection, this new version aims to incorporate much of the same utility that went into the original Sea Wolf 1953 design but with the contemporary, innovative approach that Zodiac is synonymous with. With water resistance up to 200 meters, the durable steel case is still capable of top performance for the modern-day maverick and this will be the ultimate adventure watch for thrill-seekers.

Priced at £74.99 which, in our opinion, is a small price to pay for such an intuitively and intelligently designed product, the HIPLOK Switch Bike Lock will help to streamline your cycling adventures considerably. Available in two different colours – All Black and Urban Green – the Switch Bike Lock effortlessly fits on your bike when it’s not in use and will keep it safe and secure when you need it to.

Made up of six premium hardened steel bars that link together to deliver up to 85cm locking length, the HIPLOK Switch is an impressive performer and we’re big fans of its understated design here at The Coolector. It effortlessly folds to compact package measuring 19cm x 4.2cm and the unique SWITCH system allowing for easy carry on bike or body.

The HIPLOK Switch Bike Lock boasts a carry clip for wearing on a belt or bag strap. If you’d rather carry the lock on your bike, the included SWITCH bracket and SWITCH plate allow you to seamlessly swap between carrying a lock or a water bottle on your bike without having to change the holder or use a tool. This is perfectly suited to those that are using their bike for commuting and leisure activities. Need a new bike lock that doesn’t weigh you down? Look no further.

The glorious looking High Sunderland House from Loader Monteith Architects has such an old school cool vibe that, quite frankly, it’s impossible not to be bowled over by. The celebrated architect, Peter Womersley, designed the High Sunderland house all the way back in 1957 (hence the quite apparent mid-century aesthetic) for internationally renowned textile designers Bernat and Margaret Klein, who lived in it for over 50 years and it has now been wonderfully bought into the 21st with an array of enhancements and neat design flourishes.

DEVILISHLY DELICIOUS DESIGN

This majestic looking, category A-listed house was sold for the first time in 2017 but, unfortunately, it suffered extensive structural damage as a result of a small fire that occurred whilst it was undergoing basic repairs. Its new owners recognised the building’s importance both to the area and architecturally speaking and commissioned Glasgow-based Loader Monteith to oversee a renovation project that is understanding of Womersley’s original vision and project.

The High Sunderland House put primary emphasis on restoring as many of the property’s original features as possible, while carefully introducing an extensive array of environmentally friendly systems that meet the latest sustainability criteria. The architect’s approach for both the renovation of the fire-impacted interior and in developing proposals which needed change and adaptation was to be as imperceptible as possible while maximising the enhancements to the fabric and reducing the energy consumption of the home.

High Sunderland was Womersley’s first private residential commission and whilst raising their family there, the Kleins used the house as a studio and a hub for various events including fashion shows and exhibitions. The single-storey flat-roofed building comprises 14 bays arranged in a 2.4-metre grid and its glazed exterior bays are separated horizontally by white strips and vertically by a framework made from Makore wood for an unparalleled visual impact. Big fans of this Don Draper-esque home here at Coolector HQ.

Boasting world-first, precision-engineered technology, The Pinter allows anyone to make 10 pints of unprecedented quality Fresh Beer at home. Seamless process, intuitive and consistently perfect, what’s not to like. Available for the introductory price of just £75 (which includes 2 Pinter Packs, totalling 20 pints), this is an essential purchase for any craft beer lover as we head into spring and summer i.e. backyard BBQ season.

Effortlessly Simple Process

It couldn’t be more simple to make delicious craft beer with this superb beer lover’s bit of kit. Just take the Pinter, add the hand crafted Fresh Press Packs which can be purchased separately and make 10 pints apiece, fill with water and brew. Simple as. Fridge for conditioning and in just a few days since your ingredients arrived through the letterbox, you’ll be able to enjoy unparalleled quality, affordable Fresh Beer which respects the centuries of brewing craft fused with pioneering innovation. The future is fresh.

If you’ve got a love of craft beer and have always wanted to have a go at making your own, The Pinter (from £75) is the perfect place to start in our opinion here at The Coolector. Beer in bottles and cans is very often packaged months before being sold. Much of the flavour degrades over time, so that beer from the shelf did not start life tasting that way. But with The Pinter, you’ll be drinking beer as it was meant to be – namely, fresh. Years of development and countless meticulous brewing sessions has meant the next chapter in the history of brewing is now a reality courtesy of The Pinter.

The magic behind The Pinter comes from its Fresh Press technology. This is essentially a hand-selected combination of quality ingredients – water, malt and hops or fruit. This mix captures the ingredients at optimum quality making for consistent Fresh Brewing. Using Fresh Presses, The Pinter makes a wide array of high quality beers and ciders including IPAs, lagers and fruit ciders.

Innovative Tech

The biggest, and perhaps most crucial innovation with The Pinter is the patent-pending Pinter tech that lets you speed up the conditioning time. Any yeast and residue settles into the Brewing Dock through the fermentation process which is then detached (at pressure) leaving you with a Pinter of pressurised bright beer that looks great and tastes even better.

Exceptional value for money, The Pinter has no Duty which means the savings are passed directly to you. Secondly, with The Pinter you’re consolidating the traditional brewing process – your Fresh Beer is fermenting at home, so a streamlined overall process. You buy Fresh Pack Pints which create 10 pints at 30% of the cost of craft beer, whilst maintaining the high quality you’ll demand. Win, win.

Well, Inception doesn’t need to end with the Was He / Wasn’t He Dreaming scenario courtesy of a fantastic looking boardgame that is currently rocking Kickstarter and, judging from the phenomenal response its already had, it looks as though we’re not the only ones who are well and truly on board with the idea of an Inception based boardgame. Permit us to introduce you to Inceptor and, yes, it looks awesome.

The premise of Inceptor sounds almost as confusing as the movie from which it takes its inspiration but we’ll take a stab at explaining it nonetheless. The actual board itself represents the mind of someone in a dream state called Mark and each player is scrambling to plant an idea within Mark’s mind in the hope he’ll wake and carry out that idea.

Inceptor is a game for 2-5 players and from what we’ve seen, it looks utterly fantastic and we’re already safe in the knowledge that the chap behind the game, the wonderfully named Reid Cuddy, has already achieved his Kickstarter target so we don’t have to fret about it making it to market because we here at Coolector HQ can’t wait to try and plant our idea in Mark’s head. Hint: It involves chocolate bacon.
