Well done design, we wonder how comfortable it would be to wear with the glass bubble on the bottom.  166 parts, 10 conical-geared wheels (with 6 spherical wheels) and 6 ball bearings, hand-wound 45-jewel and 50-hour power reserve.

…and it’s a Ferrari!  Here, the team’s 2 Formula 1 drivers get to ride up front and by the looks of it this thing is really fast!  It goes from 0 to 150 mph in less than 5 seconds and pulls 4.8 gs!  Located at Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi.

And the people have spoken.  Congratulations to Darrel and Terry. Next year we’ll have 2 categories, carving and etching.

Would have been even better if somehow they included a cat in there somewhere.  Would still be interesting to see how often the bird actually comes to the the top.  Hit the jump to see the full picture.  Designed by Constance Guisset.

Being based in NYC, we see this building quite often but never quite in this light.  Amazing projection produced by Seeper for the Vimeo Awards 2010 and sponsored by Honda.
