There will come a day when the average residential home will have less of a negative effect on the environment. It will become de rigueur to build with recycled and sustainable materials and operate with off-the-grid energy. The zero-impact On Mountain Hut is a temporary residence that shows us what’s possible. Built by the makers of On athletic shoes and apparel, the shiny duplex uses solar panels, a rainwater filter, and eco-conscious/eco-friendly materials, and it also manages to look like a legitimate piece of the future. While it might not seem exactly posh, every aspect is thoughtfully practical, and its placement in the gorgeous Swiss Alps seems apropos. Once the hut is deconstructed, it will have left no waste and no evidence it was ever there.

Vaer’s G5 Meridian Watch Looks and Feels Better Than the Five-Times More Expensive Option It Reminds You Of
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.
