On the moveAn old saying about Harley-Davidson can also be applied to Vespa: You buy an attitude to life and get (not a motorcycle, but) a scooter with it. This is even more true now that the Italian brand is celebrating its 80th birthday next year. The largest Vespa meeting of all time is scheduled to take place in Rome from June 25th to 28th, and anyone who likes can get the right vehicle. The special models of the large GTS and the small Primavera called “Vespa 80th” are offered in the color Verde Pastello, which is reminiscent of 1946. The shade of green can be found on the sheet metal as well as in other places such as the wheels, rear-view mirrors and pillion grab handles. The saddle, handlebar grips and footboard rubbers are in darker green. lle. Bobby CarAt the wheelFor the car fans of tomorrow, the BIG toy factory has a Bobby car in the design of a Mercedes-AMG GT on offer. The little runabout is suitable for children aged 18 months and over who want to express their need for movement through motor skills. Four wide tires with true-to-original rims ensure grip on local terrain. The sports car feeling for small children should be achieved thanks to the mechanical horn and small steering wheel with star. Attention is paid to detail. Add-on parts such as the radiator grille, the dashboard and the rear and front aprons make the clearest difference to the well-known bobby car design. It costs parents around 119 euros. jufi. LeicaIn the PictureThe SL 3 Reporter from Leica is a variant of the mirrorless full-format camera SL 3, which is intended for use in harsh conditions. The housing has a scratch-resistant dark green finish and is covered with durable aramid fabric. The material protects against abrasion and weather influences and ensures a secure hold thanks to its non-slip texture. Technically, the Reporter follows the production model and has a full-format sensor with 60 megapixels. The first Reporter was created in 1934 and was designed for use with 250 shots per film. There are currently several Leicas as a reporter version, such as the Q2 Reporter or the SL2-S Reporter. The new one costs 7200 euros. misp. AppleUnder PressureLast week, Apple communicated some details about the production of the Watch Ultra 3 and the titanium version of the Watch 11 using 3D printing. Until now, metals were forged hot or cold, cut into blanks and machined into the desired shape. From now on, the housing is built layer by layer using 3D printing, using fine, recycled titanium powder. During printing, machines apply the titanium particles and use lasers to fuse them into a dimensionally stable component. The new process would require less raw material and less energy. The watch cases made of stainless steel and aluminum are, as usual, manufactured conventionally. misp. PlaymobilOverhead Anyone who gives away toys should consider the consequences. If the Sky Trails system reaches the children, it could block large parts of the living room. Playmobil took the basic idea from the classic marble run. Except that there are no colorful balls here, but the familiar figures flying on hanging rails. The course does not follow a fixed construction plan, but can be designed in three dimensions. Trains spatial thinking, thinks the adult. It’s funny, the child who should be at least school age. The starter package costs 80 euros, all kinds of extensions such as loops, additional rails or a “Trac Blaster” that can be overcome are available for 20 to 30 euros each. jwin.
