Heritage 1854’s Updated Layout
Worn & Wound reports that Heritage 1854, Ark Zaydman’s vintage Timex resource covering watches from 1949 through 2000, has received a new layout and several updates after first being written about in 2021. Visitors can browse by year or model, search original Timex catalogs, consult movement guides and parts information, or use an identification tool. The site also includes a repair registry and a journal covering Timex history and releases.
Reelizer’s Film Archive
Designer and developer Roger Erik Tinch curated Reelizer, an archive of 225 works spanning posters, screenprints, illustrations, physical-media packaging, apparel, books and other pieces from across film culture. The database can be searched by film, artist or collection. Readers who enjoy linking imagery to objects might also try the daily watch puzzle at Watchdle.
RIMOWA x MYKITA Luggage-Inspired Eyewear
RIMOWA and MYKITA have released a new group of frames that pairs RIMOWA’s aluminum-focused design with MYKITA’s lightweight, technical eyewear. The collection includes Heritage and Visor lines, with styles such as rounder optical shapes, an all-black aviator and a slimmer wraparound shield style. The frames are made at MYKITA HAUS in Berlin, are available now, and carry prices starting at $790.
Kakusu Watch Box
Kakusu Watch Box is a collaboration between the team behind the Form & Function podcast and RSM Watch Straps, and it started with Toyo Steel’s T-320 toolbox. Its custom EVA interior is built to hold six watches and a spring bar tool. Watches sit upright inside individual compartments, and extra foam inside the lid secures the contents when the box shuts. Two versions were produced: the Form & Function model finishes in matte, bead-blasted titanium grey, while the RSM model finishes in military green.
Getty Images Moves Toward Private Ownership
Getty Images is preparing to go private after announcing a restructuring agreement and plans to file for an expedited Chapter 11 bankruptcy process in the coming weeks. The planned merger with Shutterstock fell apart earlier this year. The company carries roughly $2.1 billion in debt as of June 30 and has secured up to $533 million in new equity. Affiliates of the Getty family and Koch Equity Development will own the company after the process, while day-to-day operations continue as normal. Shares have dropped about 99% since Getty returned to public markets in 2022.
