Herrlich

Model railways used to be the means to keep men of a certain age from the mid-life crisis of motorbikes and secretaries. These days it's gadgets of a more advanced nature - and this is precisely the niched that Herrlich has spotted in Berlin. In fact you don't need to be pushing 50 - or male for that matter - to enjoy this stock house of idle pleasures. Radio controlled planes, electronic toys, executive accessories, sports equipment, calculators and alarm clocks with more computing power than your first Amiga... largely pointless, of course, but oh so much fun. Perfect too if you're looking for a gift with a difference.
