An interesting dual screen LCD and E-ink device was shown at the IFA earlier this year. At the time, it felt like a concept rather than a proper phone but Yota Devices has confirmed that it is an actual device and it is on schedule for a release in Q3 2013. The device has a fully working prototype and will feature an e-ink display at the back of the screen in addition to the LCD display.

The phone packs pretty impressive specs and features a 4.3 inch screen with a resolution of 720X1280 pixels. The e-ink display at the back 200 dpi and is similar in size. The phone runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and is powered by a 1.5 GHz dual core Snapdragon processor and 2GB of RAM.


On the storage front it will ship with at least 32GB of memory and will also have LTE in the connectivity department. In addition, it will have a 12 MP camera at the back and a 720p camera at the front. More impressively, it will be 9.9mm thick despite having two screens.


The e-ink display on the Yotaphone works in a similar manner and is fed information through in open API. The phone’s software can also display notifications, call and message alerts as well as a slideshow on the rear screen.

Abraham-Louis Breguet was Switzerland’s horologist who is meritorious for many innovations of watchmaking in France such as innovative escapements, including the tourbillon, automatic winding mechanisms, and the overcoil (an improvement of the balance spring with a raised outer coil). His hands work from 1795, rare Sympathique clock, is the world’s most expensive clock, since it’s sold for more than $6.8 million at Sotheby’s New York Important Watches & Clocks Auction on Tuesday. Centuries-old, Sympathiques clock with stunning gold and red tortoiseshell detailing set a new auction record for any clock and the second-highest price for any timepiece at auction.


Its value is attributed not only because it’s Breguet’s invention, but also now just 10 to 12 Sympathique clocks still exist. They commonly collected by various nobleman and crowns from around the world. The term sympathique was chosen by Breguet to express the notion of harmony and concord. Presented to the public for the first time at the Exposition Nationale des Produits de l’Industrie in 1798, the sympathique clock was a system consisting of a clock and a watch, designed to hold the watch in its cradle, where it was automatically adjusted and rewound.


This gorgeous timepiece from the historic Swiss luxury watchmaker was last offered at auction in Sotheby’s 1999 when it sold for $5.7 million .


Beside this distinguished example of the exceptionally rare Sympathique clocks, that was reportedly bought by a private museum, both vintage and modern wristwatches by Patek Philippe have marked recently held auction, led by a rare 46 mm 18K Yellow Gold Center Seconds Wristwatch, 1955, Ref 2512/1 that achieved $962,500, more than five times its high estimate of $150,000. Sotheby’s watches and clocks sale totaled more than $11.6 million.

In promotional preparation for the release of Peter Jackson's next film The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, a prequel to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, a giant Gollum sculpture has been installed at New Zealand's Wellington Airport. The 43-foot long and 9.8-foot tall suspended installation features the creepily emaciated character reaching for his oh so "juicy sweet fishes" over the cafeteria of the airport.


The massive figure was constructed and installed by Weta Workshop, a Miramar-based special effects and prop company, which has worked closely with the film franchise on costumes, sets, and props in the past.



The impressively imposing piece was completed in three days and currently hovers over travelers getting their own bite to eat as it welcomes them to New Zealand, the proud home of LOTR.
