For the last few decades designers have spent plenty of man-hours erasing the pixelated memories of the games we played on Atari and Intellivision.  This is a good thing; we’d rather play a game of Madden where you can make out the area code written on some running back’s eye-black then see a square running down the football field.  Bill Brown, a former video game addict turned graphic designer, harkens back to those blocky images with these Pixel Perfect Camera Wall Decals.  The vinyl wall decals won’t leave any residue behind and their matte finish makes them look like they were painted right on.  We’ve professed our love for retro cameras before and these are like a double-shot of retro appeal – depictions of some awesome old-school cameras along with 8-bit graphics.

Vaer has been one of our favorite watchmakers for as long as we can remember because they produce new, classic watches based on iconic designs. Case in point, the Vaer G5 Meridian watch you see here. This timepiece is a 1950s-inspired 20ATM automatic watch that’s USA-assembled, dual timezone, built with ocean-ready functionality, self-winding and the brand’s first true GMT (the latest version of their core dive watch design). What’s more, it pays homage to other watches that are incredibly more expensive or hard to come by whilst also adding new aspects that makes this Vaer G5 Meridian watch more desirable than the other options in our opinion.
