Mini anything is normally a good idea. Tiny cell phones, tinier candy bars and the tiniest of toys are just the beginning. Cars, on the other hand, can be a bit of a different story. For quite some time, bigger was better. You weren’t the king of the castle without an absurdly large Hemi turbo packing at least five liters and consuming gasoline like you consume Jagermeister – especially when it came to trucks. MINI is re-writing the rule book on what makes a car a truck (yes, you read that right), one two-door crossover at a time. All4 all wheel drive, four cylinder Cooper Works engine pushing 200+ horses all come together under a sloping roof to make this the only crossover we would ever consider buying. In 2013 when it comes out anyway.

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.
