Escape Artist: silk necktie
Inspired by the rich lore surrounding the life of Harry Houdini, the Cyberoptix TieLab has designed a line of neckwear around this late-Victorian-era icon. Few know that Houdini began his career working in a necktie factory! A slight departure from the TieLab's usual silkscreened ties, this limited edition series is handcrafted from the most luxurious heavyweight silk, each adorned with a unique, antique skeleton key estimated to be at least 60-150 years old. The key is further restrained by hand-patinated, solid copper and solid brass chain that easily detaches for tying and cleaning.

Maybe it's that they're still hand-made, one of the last leftovers from before the great desktop publishing revolution. Maybe it's their imperfections and the fact that each one is unique. Whatever it is, I love them, and Hatch has been making them for quite some time. They're almost an institution. This book chronicles the history of the shop and some of their work. Definitely a must for poster-lovers.

Elegant, simple and unusual. This necklace is from a new collection called "Time" and each one is a vintage clock hand, named for a minute in time. Some are over 100 years old! Beautiful brushed metal on a delicate silver chain.
