Leffe | Craft Your Character
Leffe knows a thing or two about character, the Belgian brewery has taken generations of beer making know-how to create the unique character of their famed Ales.
Recently the brand hit the streets of New York City to find just that, but in a man with true character. It was a mission that wrangled together 250 men that offered up stories of adventure and for some, moments that changed their lives forever.
Five finalists were chosen and the winning story came from Ryan Eberts, who after seeing a slideshow of a Bangladeshi orphanage, decided to make the trek to the country to teach English. His time in the country inspired him to write a book about his experiences and plans are in the works for another book about the history and culture of Bangladesh and the plight of its children. Check out the rest of the stories from the other finalists after the jump and for more on Leffe follow them on Twitter @leffebrewers or visit Leffe.com.

"Featuring a subtlety simplified form derived from the lines of aeronautical engineering, the SVT-LX73 is both rational and functional. As with all timepieces, a Swiss Quartz movement ensures reliable, highly accurate, and simple operation. Balancing assertive geometrical elements—the 50mm case, the six screw case back, and considerable screw-down 11mm knurled column crown— distinguishes the SVT-LX73. Its laser cut sandwiched dial with embellished numbers and indices affirm the visual identity. The SVT-LX73 offers utilitarian design and simplistic grandeur."

"Born from avionic instrumentation’s lasting durability and precision, the SVT-AR77 characterizes a journey over time. Inherent to the timepiece is the technical appeal natural to vintage avionic gauges. Driven by a Swiss Quartz movement, and housed within a sophisticated 48 mm aerospace-grade 316L stainless steel case, the SVT-AR77 ensures precision timekeeping. Easily observed under the anti-reflective hardened mineral crystal are distinct indicator arms, bold numerical representations, and date calendar."

TSOVET Giveaway
Today's watch is the SVT-NM85. Share this to enter your name in the Tsovet Giveaway for the SVT-AT76 timepiece. Each day for a week we'll be posting a Tsovet watch for you to share on your Facebook profile. Once you've done that, you're all set and entered to win. And yes, you can enter everyday. Contest open to US Residents Only.
"The Imperial Navy’s Baltic fleet divers heavily influence the SVT-NM85. Tsovet’s hybrid diver captures the essence of uncompromising craftsmanship and durability. Our brushed finish 50mm media-etched case and hand applied model name plate, fixed bezel as well as the 11mm locking screw-down crown, exemplify Tsovet’s discernment of modern styling. This hybrid diver’s well-designed components—Swiss movement, BDL black dial, Super Luminova markers delineated in hi-vis white, Super Luminova second hand, and Italian rubber wrist strap—confirm the NM85’s practical functionality. Toughness and reliability, a trademark of divers in shipbuilding yards across the world, are instrumental in achieving the vision of this Tsovet timepiece."

Sponsor | ACQUIRE & The 2011 Ford Edge: Road Essentials
A few items we've made sure to keep in our gear bag while in the Ford Edge have served us pretty well on the road. Road trips can be a bit of a nightmare when you're riding shotgun and the driver's playlist is of questionable taste. This is where Urbanears Medis headphones come into play with its unique "Earclick" feature that keeps them firmly secured in your ear. As for staying connected on the road we've been using Virgin Mobile's MiFi Card which makes getting on the web cheap ($10 for 100MB) and easy without having to hunt down a WiFi signal. Last but not least, Bushnell's Backtrack has kept us from getting lost on long hikes with its simple to use GPS that gets us back to where we need to be. For more on the Ford Edge and the latest trend reports, visit FordOnestoWatch.com.
Ford has provided me this 2011 Edge, gas and insurance to use as my primary vehicle for three months. In exchange, I will post videos, photos, and blogs that document my use of this vehicle in my everyday life. http://cmp.ly/6/uep9w6
