This Bluetooth Speaker is Made From Actual Porsche 911 Parts
For the Porsche superfan who has everything—including a racy titanium watch and 911 coffee table book—this badass Bluetooth speaker is guaranteed to rev their engine.
Porsche Design has released a blacked-out version of their eye-catching speaker made with parts from the German automaker’s most iconic supercar.
The “Black Edition” uses an original 911 GT3 rear silencer and twin exhaust as subwoofer resonators. As the name suggests, its half-stainless steel, half-fiberboard construction is finished in a stunning matte black.
A wireless remote controls the 40-pound device’s bass, treble and volume. Other audiophile-worthy features including a 2.1 Virtual Surround System and aptX codec ensure a high-fi listening experience.
A $4,250 price tag may sound plenty steep, but it’s still way more affordable than the $150,000 911 GT3. Head to Porsche Design if you can’t live without this bad boy powering your home entertainment system.

New ‘Tinder For Watches’ Will Match Users With Their Favorite Luxury Timepiece
Calling all watch lovers – there’s a new service you’re really going to love: WatchTinder.
Brought to you by WatchAdvisor, a Swiss watch database company, WatchTinder is, as the name implies, a timepiece matchmaking service where you can explore and purchase watches through authorized e-retailer Troverie.
Here’s how it works: Users answer a series of lifestyle questions and select their preferred types of watches, like “sailing,” “motor sport,” “outdoor,” and even something called “erotic watches.”
Then, simply specify your budget and style and select whether you want a timepiece that is “luxurious and distinguished,” “luxurious and recognizable,” “affordable and distinguished,” or “affordable and recognizable.”
And so, once you’ve answered the questions, WatchTinder will create a personalized list of “matches” from over 250 brands you can swipe through, and even make lists similar to a Pinterest board for watches that have caught your interest.
If one of the timepieces is a winner and you want to buy it, the service will connect American clients to Troverie, and those overseas to suggested European boutiques
Happy shopping, my friends.

The man behind the famed super Tuscan wine Oreno has been confined to his villa near Arezzo by Italian authorities, accused of taking part in money laundering, bank fraud and tax fraud schemes. The Guardia di Finanza, Italy’s financial crimes force, has placed Antonio Moretti, the owner of the Sette Ponti winery in Tuscany and the Feudo Maccari winery in Sicily, under house arrest, along with his son Andrea, as it investigates crimes related to Moretti’s clothing brands and its retail chain, according to Italian media reports.
The wineries have not been implicated in the alleged financial crimes, but the authorities have seized control of them for the time being, as well as Moretti’s other assets, worth a total of $28.9 million, according to authorities.
“The operation of the [wine] companies is not compromised. The [wines’] quality are 100 percent guaranteed,” Stefano Maggini, the wineries’ export manager, told Wine Spectator. “[The Morettis] are accused, but nothing is proven at the moment and [the charges] don’t involve the wine companies.”
Moretti, 67, became famous as a fashion footwear mogul, building the brand called Car Shoe and later partnering with Prada. In 1997, he launched Tenuta Sette Ponti and its flagship wine, Oreno, a blend of Cabernet and Merlot that has consistently earned outstanding ratings from Wine Spectator and twice earned Top 10 rankings in Wine Spectator‘s Top 100 Wines of the Year. In 1999, he began buying land in southwestern Sicily, establishing Feudo Maccari. He also owns Orma in Bolgheri.
According to Italian reports, more than a dozen executives for Moretti’s family companies have been implicated in financial schemes related to the clothing firms. A total of 14 companies and assets owned by the family have been seized by authorities. Several relatives, including son Alberto Moretti, a famous fashion designer, have not been arrested but are named in the investigation and are forbidden from managing public companies while the case is ongoing.
