As promised, here are some in-progress shots of the New Zaritsky Archive. Each area will have an interactive and “experiential” moment. Those are being created as we speak.
In addition, a “secret” Bond wardrobe is bring created to discover more hidden surprises around the world of James Bond clothing etc. Stay tuned to this website and our Facebook page for the most recent sneak peeks and updates!

I had heard from Aston Martin’s Facebook page there would be 4 Skyfall themed Aston’s taxiing people around NYC. I shrugged as I live in NYC and it’s a big place. When I had learned that they would be based in Lincoln Center just ONE block away, I had to try.
So at 6 pm I departed my apartment and walked down to Lincoln Center. Immediately I was greeted with the sight of a lone Aston with two guys sitting in it. A little nervous, I walked up to the car and asked, “Hey do you know what model this is?” And of course being the Bond fanatic I am, I knew everything about the car on first sight, I just didn’t want to blurt, “HEY CAN I HAVE A RIDE?” Haha.…
I was lucky enough to be chosen as a James Bond superfan for a Saturday night TV show on the BBC in England, to have an audience with Sir ROGER MOORE whilst he was promoting his book “My Word is Bond”. I met Sir Roger at CLARIDGES which is a very famous hotel in London- One of GORDON RAMSEY’s restaurants is situated within the hotel.
The show is a light entertainment family show so there is a large element of “comedy” (ahem!) within the piece but it was an amazing experience for me as I grew up in the 70’s and ROGER MOORE was the Bond I grew up with- the first Bond movie I saw (at the Cinema) was THE SPY WHO LOVED ME when I was 8 years old (I’m now 43) and I’ve been hooked ever since.…
I have been a James Bond fan since I was twelve. While I have certainly enjoyed watching the movies, it was really the books that got me originally hooked. My parents owned a set of hardcover Ian Fleming Bond novels, and I helped myself to one after another over the course of about 6 months back in the early 70’s. Thinking about it now, I’m not so sure I’d let my own son read them until he’s like thirteen. Actually, I’m not sure that my parents approved of me reading them back then, but I think it was a situation where they were glad I was reading in general.…
The hardest part of embarking on a journey of fitness is the motivation that gets the body moving and the heart pumping. Once one finds the key motivation, the journey not only begins but continues along with consistency.
Some work out to look better to others or FOR others.
Some work out because of doctor’s orders.
Others, like me, work out to compete with themselves, to push themselves beyond their own perceived disciplines and limits.
That all being said, I have to admit that I will use James Bond as a motivator. Since I wear the Bond clothes, I figured I didn’t want to look like Orson Wells in them but rather closer to Daniel Craig.…
In 2010 I made five jumps from 4.00 feet to get my militairy wing.
During four of this jumps I got a twist what means I have to keep cool in the air while take the twist out and in one jump I had to make an emergency landing between the cows.
During my jumps I feel like an secret agent who has to keep cool to survive in the air like Roger Moore in Moonraker.

Back in August 2012, I was given an assignment!
I had recently broken up with my girlfriend, had made a commitment to become a professional actor and having a generally difficult struggle when it came to ‘my next mission’. That was until a friend of mine, who supported my move to becoming an actor, came to my aid.
“Why don’t you do an evening, much like the old ‘An Audience With…’ famous celebrities and do it as a motivational springboard?” he said. “Don’t be ridiculous!” I replied. “I’m not famous yet. Who would want to come and see me?”
“Ask, and find out.” came his response.…
Over the next few weeks, we will be posting blogs and videos on how to get the Bond Body. I will outline and discuss my own journey and goals around fitness and prolonging the ravages of age. I work out 4 days a week BUT will be increasing this regiment and adding new core exercises.
Typically speaking, on workout days I get up at 4:30 AM in order to fit it into my hectic schedule. To me, it is therapeutic and worth the discipline it takes to rise at that time.
My new core exercises will be a mix of weekend moments at the gym AND nightly routines.…
Thanks to this great website, I was able to find and order my Billy Reid peacoat. On backorder, it has taken around a month and a half to arrive – and has been more than worth the wait!
The Billy Reid Peacoat
Worn for the first time yesterday, I found myself walking a little bit taller and straighter – it’s amazing the confidence boost a coat can give you – but then as it makes you feel like Bond, I guess it’s not all that surprising.
This will be perfect for my upcoming weekend in Berlin (wife’s birthday). Where better to wear this beautiful coat (other than Shanghai of course!) than somewhere that still has such visible echoes of the cold war?…
Thought you might all enjoy a sneak peak picture. Remember, the concentration on lifestyle Bond goodies has indeed focused the collection but this is just the bones. I’m doing two movies at a time so it doesn’t get overwhelming but each area will have an interactive “Bond moment” around it.
Sights, smells, even tastes of the Bond movies for each movie…all will be revealed and understood soon.
In the meantime, many many thanks to all that gave us feedback last week and continue to.
You can see by yesterday’s Frugal Bond video that we TRULY listen!
You asked for it and you will get it…the Frugal Bond series is resurrected as well!…
