February 29th: A leap year

Today marks the happening of a rare calendar event, a leap year. The Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Hybris Mechanica Calibre 185 takes this phenomenon into account, displaying a 29th day in the month of February every four years thanks to its perpetual calendar.

A centuries-old mechanism always displays the correct date despite the irregular number of days each month. Highlighting the precision of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 185 construction, the perpetual calendar indications are instantaneous, changing at the stroke of midnight. In addition, the complexities of the Calibre 185 construction required the date to be displayed at the 5 o’clock position on the dial.

‘The Archaeology of Eros’ ⁠by Jorge Socarras

Homoerotic poetry and art appear throughout the world’s civilizations for millennia. ‘The Archaeology of Eros’, the first collection of poems from cult music figure Jorge Socarras, taps into that continuum through the collaboration of acclaimed artist Mel Odom.

Socarras’ intimate love poems and Odom’s evocative drawings are beautifully juxtaposed in this elegantly designed book. Straddling the sensual and the archetypal, the contemporary and the classical, poetry and art join forces in exploring the mystery and wonder of Eros, affirming that same-sex desire has lived before even as it flourishes now.⁠

Born to Cuban parents in New York City, Jorge Socarras is known for his 1970s collaboration with pioneering synthesizer musician Patrick Cowley as the duo Catholic, as singer-frontman of the 1980s avant-rock group Indoor Life and as half of the ongoing musical duo Fanatico X. He was also cofounder of the Silence=Death Collective, the AIDS activist group that in 1987 created the eponymous poster design and slogan.⁠

A few images by Mel Odom from ‘The Archaeology of Eros’ ⁠ by Jorge Socarras

The award-winning art of Mel Odom (born 1950) has graced numerous book covers and magazines since the 1970s, has been the subject of two books, and has been exhibited in galleries and art institutions, including in collaboration with gay literary icon Edmund White.⁠

‘The Archaeology of Eros’ ⁠by Jorge Socarras is available fom October 17. For more information or pre-order, come into the beautiful world of Dark Entries Records.

Visvim unveils high-speed ‘Visvim Motors Club’ capsule collection

Japanese design label Visvim is dropping a car-inspired capsule collection next month called ‘Visvim Motors Club’. The ‘gas-pumping’ range, which spans ready-to-wear, accessories and footwear, is the result of founder Hiroki Nakamura’s longstanding love for vintage cars and their engineering.

There are vibrations that can be felt from the steering wheel and accelerator pedal, as well as smells and sounds that come from the engine. It’s not simply just a way to get from point A to point B. These are things you don’t have to think about with a new car, but each and every one of these details is what makes driving an old car fun.

Hiroki Nakamura, founder Visvim

The collection comprises a total of 13 garments, each created to enhance the riding experience. For example, the Coach Down Jacket features ‘Visvim Motors Club’ on the back in white font, and the Mechanics Coveralls offer an elevated take on signature workshop items. Knitted t-shirts and jumpers carry the iconography of the capsule in blue and neutral tones, while the Excelsior Cap incorporates branded motifs and the Driver Folk shoes are created to accelerate.

It is therefore not surprising that Hiroki Nakamura’s AC 289 ‘Cobra’ plays a leading role in his campaign photos. In my opinion one of the most beautiful Roadsters of all time! The ‘Visvim Motors Club’ collection will be launched on Saturday 9th September, through various outlets. Check out the collection in the campaign images above.
