Let the Keyport Pivot Take Care of Your Keys (and Everything Else)

The fear of losing your stuff can add unnecessary stress to your daily life. We’ve given advice on how not to lose your tools, and now there’s a simple solution for your keys. Come to the everyday carry (EDC) side of life and boost your utility and preparedness with just one simple gadget: the Keyport Pivot.

EDC tools are becoming more and more popular in our fast-paced and busy world. The idea is that the gear you carry every day should serve at least one purpose or function, which will enhance your daily life in some shape or form. The Keyport Pivot serves many by taking advantage of its modular design.

This easy-to assemble gadget provides organization and utility for those maneuvering the office and job site while also minimizing clutter. The Pivot is essentially a key holder that can be customized with Keyport’s many attachments, such as a USB flash drive, a flashlight, or a knife. Simply choose a red, black, or silver anodized aluminum frame and personalize a hybrid key holder with your preferred pocket tools.

Keyport recently developed three new add-ons that integrate seamlessly with the Pivot. These modules include a low-energy Bluetooth locator, a 12-lumen flashlight, and a pocket knife from Klecker Knives.

The Bluetooth locator works with the TrackR phone app to help you locate misplaced keys. If you’re stuck working late with a graveyard shift, the flashlight can come in handy in those tough to see situations. And, if you fly a lot, Keyport’s drop-point blade profile allows for easy removal and reapplication for airline travel — and this goes for all Keyport’s attachments and add-ons.

The Pivot is compatible with many of the company’s other inserts, such as tweezers, scissors, and multi-tools like the Griffin Stowaway Tool (a combination bottle opener, screwdriver, scoring tool, pocket clip, prying tool, and various wrenches). Plus, the Pivot is designed meticulously to assure your key holder doesn’t loosen over time.

Authentic Roz explores the human experience in New York Fashion Week debut
Finding the balance between fitting in and standing out with Authentic Roz

Walking through New York Fashion Week presentations and showrooms, you start to get a feel of what most brands and designers are used to working with. There are hot buzzwords. Inspiration and creativity seem to be center stage in most runway shows and showrooms. However, as I made my way up North from Madison Square Park to The Prince George Ballroom in the Flatiron District, I found myself in a different sort of environment, the kind where the designer of the collection about to walk down the runway also served as the DJ. From the clothes to the tunes to the ideology, Rayan Alami had a hand in every aspect of his New York Fashion Week debut. After seeing designer after designer with the same philosophies throughout New York, Alami embodied the name of his debut collection at Fashion Week, "I am Different."
Using music and culture to blend a unique style

New York Fashion Week is essentially an opportunity to blend art and fashion into one and tell a story through sartorial expression. While designers find inspiration in all walks of life, Alami uses his multicultured heritage and his love of music to blend a style truly unique in the industry. When I sat down with him after his show, I asked how he brought culture to his work.

Norqain LE Freedom 60 GMT Bronze

Norqain emerged onto the watch scene in 2018, and has offered stylish timepieces like the Freedom 60 GMT collection. Every single timepiece that’s featured in the collection has a retro-like aesthetic that will take you back to the ‘60s. Now, though, there's a new offering: the Norqain Freedom 60 GMT 40mm Limited Edition.

The new Freedom GMT watch comes with a bronze dial that stands out thanks to the brown hue. And one of the most striking features is the 100m water-resistant brown casing, which is accentuated by a satin finish that makes the surface look a little bit shiny. Hour markers also have a bronze-like hue that complements the casing.

G-shock MRGB2100R-2A

A new G-Shock watch that explores different Japanese concepts, from zen philosophies to ancient woodworking techniques, has been unveiled: the MRG-B2100R-2A, part of the high-end MR-G series.

For starters, it is based on an ancient Zen ideology centered around self-reflection. The good thing about this new watch is that it explores different Japanese notions. The second notion, Kigumi, goes back to the 6th century and has been passed down over the years. It is a beautiful woodworking craft that creates beautiful patterns.
