New Zealand Hotel In Cambridge Embraces Lake And Forest

New Zealand Hotel In Cambridge Embraces Lake And Forest

Columbia HillenAbout to leave for our scheduled tour of Hobbiton, the charming film location of the Shire, home to Frodo and company, disaster struck. Approaching our car, I noticed the rear tire was completely flat, the result of a nail puncture. And the spare was too thin to get us there.

Titantimepiece GP Watch

Titantimepiece GP Watch

A few years ago I got the opportunity to review an exceptional watch called Nixie Horizonte. As the name suggests this timepiece uses Nixie tube technology previously used in the Cold War era.

This creation is the brainchild of Igor Gudiy who is a professionally trained engineer. Essentially this was his debut piece. Subsequently, he has developed his own brand called…
