Bolia have some pretty good things going for them, besides Scando design. In 2010 they launched their iPhone app which was quite smart, and this year they're back with a Facebook app that aims to replace the traditional catalogue, both are by Uncle Grey. I'm not sure it will, but it's still pretty good.
Montblanc are celebrating the birth of the chronograph with a competition judged by Wim Wenders (you win a trip to Berlin and a Nicolas Rieussec chronograph). All you have to do is 'seize the moment' - record a one second film clip. I'd really, really, really hate to be the one who has to sort through all the entries. Anywho, they have some lovely clips on YouTube.
