albert maysles is a filmmaker
with a sweet pair of spectacles.
so much so,
there is website
dedicated to them.
but if you really
want some serious eyewear
or even a killer watch,
ask an architect.
always.
eg: mary of tgh architects
has the coolest tibor kalman watch.
"unexpected and untried"
1. 5 O'Clock
2. 10-One-4
our homework
is to ask an architect
and report back...
ps: i also have a thing
for tiny antique watches
with roman numerals.

i also have a thing, they're so classic how could you not?
Architects may have cool glasses but they almost always have bad shoes.
No, ask an architecture student. :) Most architects I know have ridiculous style.. contrived and unoriginal.. and yes, mdillon, terrible shoes!
haha. that's why i only mentioned glasses and watches!
indeed, terrible shoes.
cheers,

I wouldn't generalize, I am an architect and I think that some of us have good taste also when it comes to shoes :)
Your comment regarding architects, eyeglasses and watches reminds me of William Morris: "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
A very cool blog, by the way.

hm.. i am an architect. however . i haven't got any watch.. and i like my shoes. and I think that the shoes of my friends and colleagues are great! maybe it's just me - as a fellow architect - who is thinking this way about them?
lovely post...
oh i had a chance to meet albert maysles....amazing man! truly! ;)
ha, ha, ha... I am also an architect and I dont use glases yet, and neither watch and dear all, I only use shoes because nobady would trust me if I use my weekend flip flops... maybe it´s because I am also a surfer???
