Vitrocsa’s Glass Walls Slide Around Corners to Serve Your Crave
We build houses around the spectacular view. for what? Obviously to inhale and eat the beautiful view with our eyes, as much as possible of it. And our fortune designing architects are pushing more and more the limits of designs with windows from floor to ceiling, making the boundaries less between inside and outside. But the perfectionist would naturally prefer no obstacles in the view, so no window frames and moldings around the windows and even corners of the room. The question is how far can design go with our wants?
The answer is designed by the UK based window/door manufacturer Vitrocsa, who recently came up with a clever solution where the windows completely disappear when they open late. Have a look at the video below. The rotating system takes the concept of normal sliding just that little step further by using glass panels can also turn the corner. That alone is obviously super convenient, but what design makes it even better is that your windows can then slide into a wall. So it will be very easy to outside to get inside. The only disadvantage of sliding glass walls is that you actually can never disappear completely.Truly the “design” is blessing. Watch the video below.

Ressence Type 5 Oil-Filled Dive Watch
Belgium based company Ressence shows off the successor of Type 3 liquid filled watch. The Type 5, the world’s first diver that allows getting time under water, regardless of the angle at which you set the watch.
Those who dive or even dipped into ever with the watch on your wrist know that beneath the surface of the water glass begins to act like a mirror. The problem made Benoit Mintiens the founder of Ressence to develop a watch that managed to win hearts of lovers of mechanical watches.
The watch consists of two sections. The first one is responsible for the indication. The components are submerged in oil 37.5ml. And that’s what it turned out to be a recipe for overcoming the effect of “mirrors”. The difference between “normal” watch and Type 5 can be seen perfectly in the picture below where regular watch is just reflecting. The second portion is separated from the oil-flooded “advance” mechanical calipers. Its regulation and winding is made using rotating rings lid. For the accidental changing in settings is protected by a security element on the side with the option LOCK or SETUP.
Looking at the dial in addition to the time you can see that the temperature of the aforementioned oil. Ressence here is based on a simple relationship that with increasing temperature, the oil expands and presses itself more strongly to the sensor, which translates the force to the indication on the dial. According to the manufacturer, the most optimal conditions are achieved in the range -10/+40 centigrade. The Ressence Type 5 (€26,250) diver watch is water resistant to 100 meters, shock-resistant and has better glowing substance used for dark.
