Retro Design Meets Swiss Precision

The MIDO Multifort TV Big Date is a bold reinterpretation of a classic 1970s case silhouette—now updated with cutting-edge materials and movement tech. Its 40mm rectangular “TV screen” case is finished in black PVD-coated stainless steel, with a horizontal-brushed grey dial and oversized date display. The look is sharp, structured, and quietly futuristic.

Inside, it’s powered by the Caliber 80 automatic movement with an 80-hour power reserve and a Nivachron™ balance spring—offering magnetic resistance and timekeeping stability even in volatile environments. The sapphire crystal features dual anti-reflective treatment, while a screw-down crown and 100m water resistance ensure it's built to go wherever your day does.

It’s not just a statement piece. It’s an everyday-ready automatic with the strength and swagger to stand out—on wrist and on camera.

Low-Profile Exterior, High-Capacity Interior

The Aer City Pack Pro is one of the cleanest ways to carry your tech and essentials in any urban setting. With 24L of storage, it keeps your laptop, tablet, and daily gear organized in a layout that’s intuitive, structured, and quiet. No MOLLE, no noise—just clean lines and serious access.

Made with 1680D Cordura ballistic nylon and YKK AquaGuard zippers, it shrugs off rain and abrasion with ease. Padded straps and a mesh back panel provide comfort during long wear, while internal organization includes a padded laptop sleeve, tech compartments, and a top quick-access pocket for sunglasses or keys.

It matches the vibe of the MIDO perfectly—techy but grown, tactical but tailored. The City Pack Pro doesn’t shout, but it doesn’t compromise.

The Ghost Ship Thriller You Didn’t Know You Needed

Think Alien meets Event Horizon, with a corporate twist and a cynical lead who isn’t here for heroism. Dead Silence takes place on a luxury space cruise liner lost for 20 years—until a salvage crew stumbles upon it in deep space. What follows is a spiral into paranoia, spectral hallucinations, and buried memory.

S.A. Barnes mixes corporate greed, isolation, and psychological horror in ways that feel disturbingly familiar if you’ve ever worked in a cubicle—or wondered how far capitalism could stretch its claws into the void. This book plays with genre and tone like a retro TV broadcast gone wrong: static, distortion, then something that stares back.

It’s a fun, eerie ride with a surprisingly human core. Perfect nightstand fuel for anyone who wants their fiction to unsettle, not just entertain.

Aggressive Elegance with a Tactical Twist

The Bastion Bolt Action Pen blends sleek carbon fiber with stainless steel in a body that feels like it was made to sign NDAs and field memos in equal measure. Its smooth bolt action delivers satisfying, fidget-worthy engagement, and the pen’s weight is just enough to feel like a real tool—not a toy.

Compatible with standard Parker-style refills, it writes with consistent flow and zero wobble. The machined clip keeps it anchored in your pocket or pack, and the finish looks executive while still carrying that tactical edge. It’s not the lightest EDC pen, but that’s part of the appeal—it demands presence.

If the MIDO is a timekeeper that belongs on-camera, this pen is its backroom counterpart—just off-screen, but in control of the script.

(I’m on a pen kick lately)

Everyday gear with a broadcast signal—loud, sharp, and dialed in.

This week’s kit is about gear that stands out without trying too hard. The MIDO Multifort TV Big Date calls back to a bold era of design but keeps its internals modern and mission-ready. The Aer City Pack Pro is the backpack equivalent of dead air—no clutter, just clarity. And Dead Silence? It’s what you get when prestige horror meets space noir, with a hint of bureaucracy gone cosmic.

The Bastion bolt action pen rounds things out like a punctuation mark at the end of a classified file. Everything in this drop is for people who live in the details—even when those details are strange.
