There is something that can be said when a person’s passion for what they do births an idea, a creative epiphany if you will. Tom Donhou, a British custom bicycle maker, had a remarkable idea. And maybe even a bit ridiculous. An idea to push the limits of bicycle speed possibilities. However, it wasn’t about setting records – just the notion of seeing how fast he could go. Watch the evolution of this idea from the bike build to it’s blistering pass on an old World War II airstrip as well as final testing on the rollers.

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.
