NORQAIN Wild One Skeleton Gold — NORQAIN Wild One Skeleton Gold NORQAIN / NORQAIN

Norqain has just rolled out two timepieces: the Wild ONE Skeleton Gold and the Wild ONE Skeleton Grey.

Developed by the brand’s CEO Ben Kuffer and Jean Claude Biver, the Wild ONE Skeleton Gold features a ruthenium-coated black skeletonized movement (COSC) and an 18ct red gold brushed and polished case, which reflects sunlight elegantly. Apart from that, the dial also has some gold hour markers that blend smoothly with the casing to accentuate the monochromatic and goldish hue.

While most elements on the watch have a golden hue, a certain part of the dial is made from titanium, and this creates a beautiful contrast between the two colors.

Since this Norqain watch features an open-work dial, it offers beautiful views of the mechanical movement.

The back of the watch is made from clear sapphire, which also offers views of the calibre.

While the golden timepiece is quite flashy and appealing, the WILD ONE grey also has some stunning features. Unlike the gold version, the WILD ONE grey features a carbon fiber casing and a black dial. Its lack of flash in hue was intentional — previous offerings included Turquoise, Gecko Green, and Coral Red variants, meaning the grey version offers a neutral colorway for anyone looking for a more classic look.

Apart from the contrasting colors, the two watches have some of the same features. For instance, both watches are fitted with the NORQAIN Calibre NB08S, capable of offering a 41-hour power reserve.

It’s worth noting that the Gold version retails from $14,150 to $14,950. The NORQAIN Wild One Skeleton grey, on the other hand, costs $5,790.

DUER changes what you can do in a single pair of pants with 85% plants

The most durable and movable pants are also some of the industry's most sustainable.

DUER hillside

The world is a beautiful place, and we have only recently begun endeavoring to protect it in the way we should. While the fashion industry is near the top of the list of the most wasteful, companies are beginning to be more conscientious of the impact their business has on the world around them. As you can imagine, brands that offer garments and gear to explore the outdoors are near the top of the list of companies that want to protect their most precious commodity, the Earth, and the people who thirst for the adventure to explore it. DUER is a brand at the forefront of technologically advanced ways to improve clothing and stay conscientious of their impact on the world. DUER Sustainability is one of the tops in the industry at 85% plant-based fibers.
Plant pants built for doing

DUER began as a Kickstarter backed by the idea that you can do more. They pushed the boundaries of what could be done in a single pair of pants and have grown to provide all of us with the most comfortable pants you own. They also "built for doing," which means they want you to get outside and explore the world. With that desire for you to explore comes a deep love for the planet and the adventures it offers us when we get out of the office. To protect it, they have focused on sourcing natural fibers that are easier on the environment than the synthetic heavy alternatives favored by most brands because they are cheap and easy. DUER is built for doing, and they are taking it beyond their product and into the world of ecological responsibility.

Embracing another animal fiber

Alpaca is one of the more popular fabrics on the market today due to its luxurious feel, functional warmth, and ability to be fashioned into countless stylish options. There are tons of companies looking to expand into the market, and this is the perfect way for Overland Sheepskin Co. to continue its reign as the go-to for guys on the mountain who need functional warmth.
