"Wow... The balance between music and engine noise ... perfect. This is truly an AMAZING video." — says one of the commentators. There's nothing left to be added.

It has been long overdue that we compile a video of all our brand ambassador media work that we did for Continental. From our early (awkward) beginnings 'til now. So, here it is. Enjoy.

In this context I would like to send out a big thank-you to all the people who made this happen (in alphabetical order): Carsten Brix (cinematographer), Dean Malay (deluma productions), Dennis Petermann (autobild.tv), Christian Suhr (Filmfreunde) and Jan Wigger (cinematographer). And of course to Kai Rühling (Continental) — who wasn't afraid to handle our neurosis. Props go as well to JC Chaix, my personal "Principal Word Basher" aka "Ralf's Crazy Shit Dept.". Dude, you know what I am talking about.

In this context I would like to add two more videos: A short version of "Continental Extreme" and a Chinese bootleg of our "Chromjuwelen Road Movie". The first one was compiled because the full version of Continental Extreme may be way to long to catch the message, the second one was done by our Chinese colleagues of Continental.

What an experience. A few days ago we had our Chromjuwelen Motor Öl debut at the famous Techno Classica, the legendary "Klassik Weltmesse" in Essen. And it was AWESOME.

Our big THANK YOU! goes to our friends Michael Schade and Wolfgang Prostka from OETTINGER Sportwagen, with whom we teamed up for our booth. And to Ulla & Mathias Jahn of "FUNC. functional furniture etc" — for sending us their unbelievable furniture. And — of course — to all our friends who visited us.

We had a very entertaining week. But the best thing ever were the confused faces of all those, who thought Chromjuwelen Motor Öl is just another marketing fake.

No. Chromjuwelen Motor Öl is not just another internet hipster gimmick. It's just the best custom tailored motor oil you can get for your classic engine. For all details visit chromjuwelen-oil.com. To order your set (15W-40, 20W-50), pay mathy.de a visit. And if you are a reseller — drop us a line!

Ok, this is off-topic. But this little Zombie story is deeply moving. If you don't like the undeads, please skip this one.

Please enjoy in fullscreen mode. Now, if you'll excuse me, watching the video befuddled me ...

Love it.

I've the feeling some things are changing at the moment. More than a few good friends of mine are starting to create and to manufacture their own products (The Bow Tie, Waid Manns, Le Velo — just to name a few), escaping the world wide marketing machinery more and more. I know a lot of people who are opening shops which sell carefully selected goods — Vater & Sohn has been the latest one for example.

"2013 — the year punk broke", stated Mr. Alex Diamond a few days ago. "It's all about personal freedom", gets my Chromjuwelen alter ego Christopher Stegemann to the heart of it. And both are right.

Thanks for sharing this video, Limpe Iven.

Made my day. Enjoy.

"[...] We, the makers, are tired of conventionalism, corporation bullying and people trying to tell us we can’t do it. We, the makers, believe in people that want to create things, made to last, with their own hands. We, the makers, believe that changes happen when humans with the same interests gather freely to think, therefore, we only pretend to shed another light on this global phenomenon that is taking place @ your backyard, where non-sustainable systems systematically destroy sustainable ones, where short term profit has the power to overwhelm common sense and where progress is not progress but a constant destruction of an environment we will never be able to replace. You trusting bunnies of the world, must realize that planned obsolescence is part of this society we live in, so think twice next time a predator invites you to dinner!@#$ [...]"

There is nothing left to be added. What a brilliant video.
