There are a lot of things in life that are difficult. Organic chemistry.  Astrophysics.  Getting a table beside the dance floor at Marquee. In the automotive world, there is a wheel-decision equivalent when selecting the proper rims for certain sports cars.  For [...]

TIMEPIECES: Titanium and DLC coated Piaget Polo FortyFive

Posted by:

Piaget has been eluding our Timepieces article series for a while, primarily because there hasn’t been a piece from Piaget that has caught our fancy. Until today. We follow Piaget on Twitter (https://twitter.com/#!/Piaget) and this morning they released an image showing [...]

We here at ESM are definitely glad that websites like www.bikeexif.com exist.  Without these types of sites dedicated to two-wheeled awesomeness, we would probably lose our minds at work. And mostly because looking at beautiful bikes calm us down.  It helps with [...]

STYLE: 5 Reasons we’d rather dress like a baddie

We here at ESM like to think of ourselves as people who are cut from a different cloth. Our style isn’t the typical archetype of fashion magazines out there (not like there is anything wrong with them) – we prefer [...]
