URBAN OUTLAW is a portrait of Magnus Walker, the rebel Porsche customizer who turned a hobby into an obsession, and an obsession into a successful business. From a workshop in downtown Los Angeles, Magnus obsessively harvests fragments from donor 911s, grafting them onto vintage frames to create one-off automobiles with the spirit of Ferdinand Porsche but an ethos entirely his own.

In the world of high complications, the grande and petite sonnerie holds a very special place, well above even split-seconds chronographs, perpetual calendars, and certainly above the once-holy tourbillon. There are but a small handful of watchmakers, as individuals, or as brands, capable of producing such a watch. It is that special, and François-Paul Journe launched his Sonnerie Souveraine back in 2006, by himself.

'Human Technology is an artistic short movie celebrating the uniqueness and the distinction of every Beretta premium gun. This movie by Ancarani Studio, under the creative direction of Paola Manfrin, reveals through the minutia of the manufacturing process, the genesis of a luxury Beretta shotgun. A poetic journey through sterile robotic rooms is blended with five centuries of Beretta’s history, culminating in the final assembly by the gunsmith, ever the wise guardian of the art of manufacturing.'

We first watched this film back in 2010. We were incredibly impressed, it is a ‘psychedelic melodrama’ as the French filmmaker puts it. Aesthetics & cinematography are excellent, and at some points mind-blowing. One of our top ten films, watch it and immerse yourself into the wild genius mind of Gasper Noé. It will be a spiritual journey, we promise you that.

Earlier this month we travelled to Japan. We had the opportunity to visit many temples and craftsmen along the way; our journey included stops in Kyoto, Koyosan, Takayama, and finally Tokyo.
