Destroyers, Restrictors, Crusaders, Surveyors, Observers and Gearheads aren't the job positions available at mercenary companies. They're some of the cool Vestal Watches on sale at Watchismo. And, for a limited time, the entire collection is 25% off. Just use the code VESTAL25 at checkout. Check out the Vestal Metronome, Vestal Decibel Minimalist and Vestal Utilitarian watch collections.
One of my favorite items at Shanalogic's online store is the heart necklace, an anatomically-detailed improvement on the unscientific rubbish you'll find at Tiffany or Cartier.
Made of white bronze, it comes with a 32" gunmetal-black neclace and is about an inch tall.

It's very confusing to know when a watch can truly be submerged in water. Thankfully, Watchismo has all their waterproof diving watches categorized in one place. It curates this collection based on design and quality, and has select Diver rated watches from Nixon, G-Shock, Tendence, Zodiac, Vestal, U-Boat, Tsovet, and others. Go ahead and swim with the fishes, they'll be jealous they don't have wrists.

Check out the most controversial watches of the Mr. Jones Watch Collection: the Fuck Cancer Watch and The Accurate Watch.
Mr. Jones Fuck Cancer Watch - Cancer is a terrifying disease that touches most of us, and this watch's message aggressively asserts that we will not let it overshadow our lives or overwhelm the human spirit. 10% of the sale price of each watch will be donated to charities that fight Cancer: Stand Up To Cancer.
Mr. Jones The Accurate Watch - This is the most accurate wristwatch you can buy, with an hour hand that reads "remember" and a minute hand that reads "you will die". The dial and rim of the glass are mirrored, so the wearer is reflected in the watch face—there is no ambiguity about who the message is aimed at! The Accurate is a link to the tradition of the memento mori, an object designed to remind us that life is brief and that we should seize the moment while we are here. It's available in steel, limited edition black and ladies versions. See the entire collection of Mr. Jones Watches at Watchismo.com

Watchismo is introducing new collections from 01 The One Watches and Nixon Watches. There is nothing quite like the 01 The One Spinning Disc Watches out there. These unusual timepieces look amazing on the wrist; a blend of digital and analog displays featuring vertical hour and minute digits that distort to fit into the viewing area. Both are anchored by a bullseye center disc dial with a fixed seconds hand, and a perpetually-rotating disc underneath it.
Watchismo also has the latest Nixon Watches, launching the Nixon Ride Watches. The casing is about as solid as they come, and the stainless steel finish is custom-treated to have an otherworldly texture.
And wood! Nixon has always blended raw natural materials with heavy duty stainless steel construction. The latest and most perfect examples are part of the black steel collection including the Nixon Rotolog Dark Wood, Nixon Spencer Dark Wood and Nixon 51-30 Dark Wood watches.
Just for BoingBoing readers, take an additional 10% off any of these watches. Use code BOINGIFT10 at checkout to redeem.

Not to be confused with new radiotelescope dishes for SETI, these cool new ODM Hacker watches were released this week at Watchismo. The Hacker's deep, concave dial rises up from the sunken center, where form-fitting graphics lead your eye inwards. Behind the capped steel disc on top of the crystal, the hands indicate the time as negative space. Just imagine Marc Newson's iconic Ikepod, cut in half, then drugged with some very strong painkillers. Then you'll get the Hacker. Check out the entire ODM Hacker Watch Collection, designed by Michael Young for ODM Watches and sold exclusively worldwide from Watchismo.com

Watchismo's showing some very cool automatic mechanical timepieces from Nixon Watches. The Swiss made Nixon Automatic II watch is an upgrade to one of their first mechanical classics, now with an improved design and more attitude: "Auto F*king Matic" is right on the caseback. Seen from the rear sapphire crystal porthole. Pre-order them at Watchismo.com.
The Nixon Mellor Automatic watch expresses itself through cool mid-century minimalism. Perfected with a lack of detail, this mechanical machine is simultaneously simple and complex. The dial and integrated lugs conceal the capsulated mechanics lying within. Both of these collections are available now at Watchismo in their Nixon Watch collection.
