Jetman Prepares Flight Over The English Channel

It’s been a slow-as-shit process waiting for flying cars to hit the market or a way for humans to take off in jet packs. Now with ludicrous gas prices keeping people grounded, something’s got to give. And the winner is…the jetpack!

As of November 2006, Switzerland’s own man without fear, Yves Rossy (a.k.a. FusionMan) became the first person to take flight with the use of a personal jetpack. He flew 36 km over his homeland by way of a fixed wing and its four engines as part of a test run. The former military pilot will take another giant leap on September 24th, when he’ll fly across the English Channel. Before you catch National Geographic’s live coverage of this historical event here, watch this video of FusionMan flying high…

Swizz Beatz Discovers Hublot Watches

swizzhublot1.jpgNext time you see Swizz Beatz, tell him “You blow.” Nah, we don’t got beef with Swizzy—his last album was banger-rific—but we couldn’t help but notice the way he mispronounces Swiss watch brand Hublot in his new single “Where The Cash At.” Peep: “See my watch, yeah my thing a little colder/It ain’t what you got, it’s the Hugh Bot.” Hugh Bot? Allow us to respectfully correct Swizz, who is clearly buying things he can’t even pronounce.

Hublot (French for “porthole” and correctly pronounced “Yoo-blow” with a silent “h”) was started in 1980 by Carlo Crocco, who put the first-ever black rubber strap on a solid-gold watch. The design was modeled after a porthole—hence the name. Watch connoisseurs flock to Hublot for the creative way it fuses materials and styles. Its go-to collection is the Big Bang series, which is the perfect balance between sport and elegance. Hublot prices average at about $12,500 per piece. After the jump, see a close-up of the latest Hublot masterpiece and watch Swizz flash his watch in the “Where The Cash At” video.
