The times are ker-chinging.

At least he didn’t go electric.

25 year old James Lee is hit and knocked unconscious by another skdiver while plummetting 12,500 feet above Wiltshire. As luck would have it, two other skydivers saw what happened and chased after him.

The ensuing drama was captured by James’ helmet cam.

Plastic Infinite is an illustrated picture disk by UK electronica duo Sculpture which animates as it plays the track of the same name under a strobe light or when filmed (as above) at 25 frames per second.

You can name your price when buying one here but, perhaps understandably, it’s currently sold out.

The Midnight Planetarium Timepiece (don’t call it a watch) by Van Cleef & Arpels and Christiaan Van Der Klaauw features six ‘planets’ made of semi-precious stones.

The ‘planets’ rotate according to their actual solar years: Mercury goes round every 88 days, Venus: every 224 days, Earth: every 365 days, Mars: every 687 days, Jupiter: every 12 years and Saturn: every 29 years.

Uranus and Neptune are excluded because they take so long (84 and 164 years respectively) to orbit the sun, they would appear stationary on the dial.

Choose your lucky day and the Earth will align with the painted star to signify it.

Unveiled at the annual Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie in Geneva after three years of development, the timepiece is available to buy for a mere €180,000 and charge.
