If you want to be outside the box with your watch design, you’ll find a unique time display with the Nooka Zub Zenv (and a bright green face if you choose the color option pictured). The first line (from left to right) shows the first six hours by the number of filled-in squares, the second line shows hours 7-12, and the third line shows minutes. This 38 millimeter quartz powered digital watch also features a backlight and alarm functions. If you like funky watches, also check out the Nooka Zub Zirc and Nixon Newton.
Featuring a full color 7″ touch screen display and attractive $199 price point, the Kindle Fire may be the first device to put a dent in the iPad’s dominant tablet market share. Compatible with popular apps, the Fire will also allow you to surf the web, watch movies, read books, listen to music and more. Best of all, you can forget about storing all your media – it links up to Amazon Cloud storage at no extra charge. Releasing November 15th it is now available for pre-order and we suspect it to fly off the shelves, so order yours now if you’re interested.
If booze mixed with hot sauce is something that entices you, we have just the thing. Last night we attended a launch party for Southern Comfort Fiery Pepper, a new liquor infused with original Tabasco brand pepper sauce. When it hits shelves and bars this fall, it’ll likely be consumed via shots (by young 20’s males beating their chests) but as we learned last night… it also makes for some tasty spicy cocktails and will be at home in a Bloody Mary.
There’s nothing like an espresso, cappuccino, or latte for a quick pick-me-up. Yeah there’s the instant stuff, but you can’t get the real authentic taste with out a proper machine. This Stainless Steel Espresso Maker from Cuisinart features a milk steaming nozzle, frothing cup, and removable drip tray – a tamping tool is also included. There’s even a warming plate on top to heat up your cups like the pros. Espresso machines often cost a pretty penny, but luckily this one is nearly half off.
Cole Haan has you covered if you’re looking for some stylish boots this fall. Definitely an upgrade from standard work boots, these classic looking Air Blythe boots feature a cap toe and are made with rustic leather. Concealed within the boot is NIKE Air technology, giving you extra comfort along with the durable rubber sole. Only problem is, they cost more than your standard work boots too – $198.
As I did last year, last night I checked out the car show at the World Financial Center in Manhattan. While it was a bit of a downgrade from last year where they had several Ferrari’s and the exclusive Bugatti Veyron, I still got to see some cool cars that are featured on Frachelli.com. It was also nice to be in the financial district and see the progress that has been made on the Freedom Tower. Here are some shots from the car show (kinda crappy, taken with my iPhone):
This light blue Lotus Evora may have been the biggest head turner:
Swiss made since 1881, Movado is a recognized and reputed player in the luxury watch industry. This stainless steel Movado Datron Chronograph is a shiny and handsome addition to their product line. With a large 40 millimeter case, it’s powered by Swiss quartz movement and features three timing subdials and an over-sized date display.
While we have the word “tasteful” featured very prominently on our website, we really need to stray from it for a minute. The most juvenile, inappropriate, and immature show of all time is coming back on air – and we simply could not be more excited. This “Shake Weight Promo” for the upcoming season of Beavis and Butt-Head brings out the fourteen year old boy in all of us, and we are very much looking forward to the return of Mike Judge’s legendary animated series on October 27th.
While it’s not going to replace your high-end stereo system, this iHome iPod/iPhone docking station will make for a great alarm clock and conveniently play tunes in your bedroom. The motorized rotating dock can be changed from portrait to landscape layout with a push of the remote – perfect for if you don’t have a TV in your room and want to watch something before bed. The alarm clock will also work with alarm iPhone apps – but it would probably best to put it to better use and fire up The Mood Setter.
While our favorite pic of Keri Lynn Ford is the one where she’s wearing a Frachelli tanktop (duh), there is no denying this shot from a recent photoshoot is totally hot. We’re still uber proud to have Keri as our first official Frachelli Girl and will continue to share awesome pics like this with our readers.

On September 13th Maserati announced that they’ll be entering the SUV market with the production of the Kubang. While details will be coming out over the next few months, we do know that the Kubang will feature a new engine designed in Modena by Paolo Martinelli – Head of the Maserati Powertrain Department and for nearly 30 years at Ferrari, where he also served as engine chief of the Formula One racing team – and will be produced in Maranello by Ferrari. Also expect an 8 speed transmission. From scanning Maserati’s website, it also looks like the Kubang will have a picturesque interior that may be unmatched by any other SUV on the market.
Summer may be over, but there’s no reason to stop listening to surf tunes. Pet Sounds is regarded as one of the most influential records in history and the 11th album released by The Beach Boys. Brian Wilson helped push the psychedelic rock genre by going beyond conventional instruments and using soda cans, theremin, harpsichords, bells, and more to create the album’s unique sound. The Beatles have said that Pet Sounds influenced their album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. First released in 1966, the album now comes with two versions of each song – one stereo and one mono.
