Fossil Dylan Watch

Chronograph watches with NATO style nylon straps are all but old news these days. It seems like everyone and their brother is rocking a beat-up, pseudo-vintage, sub $100 watch on a $25 J. Crew NATO watch strap. There isn't anything wrong with that, but it gets a little old after…

We're not quite sure about how we feel about a wall-mounted urinal being considered art, but there are plenty of artists making ridiculously awesome works using materials that…
