The Mind Controlled UFO

This is the orb that uses your focused brain waves to remotely control its flight. An included headband and earlobe clip measures electrical activity produced by your brain (similar to EEG monitoring technology used by medical professionals). A downloaded app converts an iPhone or Android device into a remote control that pairs with the headband via Bluetooth. As you relax and concentrate, an included infrared transmitter connected to your smartphone's audio port sends a wireless signal to the UFO. The app provides a control panel that allows you to adjust the throttle, yaw, and pitch thresholds of the UFO's propellers, adjust the sensitivity of concentration, and filter background electromagnetic interference. The included USB cable charges both the infrared transmitter and the UFO from a computer connection. Headset requires one AAA battery.

Starfleet Machine Table Clock

Have $35,000 to spend on a sculptural masterpiece of precision Swiss timekeeping inspired by a particularly famous science fiction space station? 

This is the machine that coalesces visions of interstellar travel and the universality of time into an exquisite expression of horological artistry. It is expertly crafted in Delémont, Switzerland by L’Epee, the country’s last remaining specialized maker of high-end timepieces. With a robust history of watchmaking that spans 175 years, L’Epee’s renowned clocks have been given by French officials as gifts to elite guests and have kept time for those travelling aboard the Concorde. Suggesting a remote station set amid the void of space, this manually wound machine masterfully depicts the time on a central dome with separate hands that sweep its contours to mark the hours and minutes. Twin “laser cannons” deploy every 20 seconds beneath the main dome, serving as a double retrograde seconds complication while another dome indicates remaining power of its 40-day capacity with decreasing bars, flanked by a radar dish that rotates 270°. Five main-spring barrels and escapement platform—horizontally oriented in this application—provide impeccable timekeeping. Stainless steel and palladium-treated brass construction with a protective Silver or Chocolate PVD coating

The Alarm Sounding Beach Safe.

This is the portable safe that sounds a piercing alarm when the security cable is cut, so you can store your valuables and enjoy the beach or pool without worry. The lightweight vault binds to a bench, umbrella or other fixed object with a 2' steel cable, and any attempt to snip this line results in a 110-decibel alarm (as loud as a chainsaw). To further deter would-be thieves, an LED flashes when the safe is locked, and the battery compartment cannot be accessed unless the storage drawer is unlocked. The deep drawer slides out of the safe's durable exterior casing to reveal 190" cu. for securing cell phones, wallets, cameras, keys and other personal items. A top tray holds and protects an iPad, as well as small, fragile possessions such as jewelry. 

Requires one 9-volt battery.

Paired with an iPhone via Bluetooth, it delivers robust sound with twin 5-watt tweeter "jet" speakers and a down-firing 10-watt bass-reflex subwoofer. The included remote allows fine-tuning of bass and treble settings as well as volume and track control. Charges device while docked.
