• Taming Biff and Bennie

    Partnering with Shashi Mara and MaraWatch was such a natural fit for me because that’s really what Shashi has been doing with his line of M luxury watches err, timepieces [when they are that nice you call them timepieces]. Over at Zingerman’s Coffee House earlier this year Mara tipped me off that he was extending out his catalog to add new products.  Please welcome Biff and Bennie, new epic cufflinks as part of his collection: Fine-tuned M historians know that Biff and Bennie were the names of the living mascots that Yost brought to Ann Arbor in the 1920s, and the nasty duo was an attraction during the 1927 Michigan Stadium dedication against Ohio State.   Check out more here, including the design process that pushes 3D printing technology to maize and blue glory. Want?  Go to www.marawatch.com/collection to see the sets Writing Instruments (not mere pens!)Another addition to the collection are these premium devices – available for delivery immediately, order directly via phone (734) 436-8138.   According to Shashi, there are fewer than a dozen available in each style (silver/gold), with the classic Point-A-Minute era gridiron design: Well done Shashi, keep it coming.
