Five Centuries. One Wrist. Beretta Turns 500 and Still Pulls the Trigger on Time

Five hundred years ago, the world was busy inventing forks and discovering new continents… and Beretta was already building things properly. Now, to celebrate half a millennium of Italian engineering stubbornness, Beretta hasn’t released a commemorative mug or a keyring… it’s teamed up with Garmin to create a luxury tool watch that looks like it could survive a war, a weekend in the bush, and your mate’s terrible braai opinions. This is the MARQ® Commander (Gen 2) Beretta Edition… and it doesn’t just tell time, it stares it down.

Stronger Muscles, Softer Edges

The thing about starting gymming is that you do know what’s happening. You’ve read the science. You understand the hormones. You’re fully aware that your muscles are inflamed, your cortisol is doing parkour, and your body is wondering why you’ve suddenly declared war on the sofa. You get it. But knowing why you’re irritated doesn’t magically stop you from being… well… a bit of a pain in the exhaust. This …

Metal Therapy : When a Catch-Up Turns Into a Photo Art

Rosslyn just got whiplash… because Nissan has handed the factory keys to Chery, and the automotive tectonic plates in South Africa have officially shifted. Yes. That Rosslyn. The legendary Pretoria-based plant that’s been bolting together Nissans since before your uncle’s moustache and mullet went out of fashion is changing ownership.

Blink… and It’s Gone. African Harrier-Hawk with a broken leg

Photography isn’t about fancy gear, golden light, or having “a good eye”… it’s about never switching your brain off, even when you’re knee-deep in emails and stuck on a phone call you don’t want to be on. Because the moment you relax… the universe drops something ridiculous on your neighbour’s roof, gives you 90 seconds to react, and then vanishes like it was never there.

“Flying Fortress” Forever: The Doomsday Plane

Imagine a Boeing 747 that doesn’t give a hoot about first-class champagne service, runway glamour, or Instagram engine selfies. Instead, it’s built to survive the end of the world and still organise it with a cup of lukewarm coffee in hand. This is the E-4B Nightwatch — the United States’ airborne command post for when everything else goes black. What is the Doomsday Plane? The E-4B Nightwatch is the U.S. …

Tata Reloaded… Two New SUVs, Zero Chill, and a Warning Shot at the Competition

Just when South Africans were starting to say, “Eish, Tata’s actually doing alright hey,” the brand went and turned the volume knob all the way to loud. After a confident comeback in 2025, Tata is charging into 2026 with not one but two new SUVs… because apparently four models simply wasn’t enough to make a point. The message is clear: Tata isn’t here to politely participate anymore… it’s here to park itself firmly in your driveway and dare the usual suspects to do something about it.
