18 Years of Bond Lifestyle! In October 2005, the same month that Daniel Craig was announced as the new James Bond, the jamesbondlifestyle.com website was launched. The ultimate resource for products seen in the Bond films and related merchandise, Bond Lifestyle has become the most visited James Bond website in the world.

Celebrate this 18th Anniversary with my biggest single giveaway prize yet: a Globe-Trotter No Time To Die Carry-on Trolley, offered by UNCRATE. Enter the contest now!

Also check out some of the rare Bond lots in the upcoming Propstore Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction, including Honey Ryder’s Bathrobe from Dr. No and James Bond’s No Time To Die Tom Ford Tuxedo.

And two Aston Martin DB5 cars will be auctioned by RM Sotheby’s: one is in need of a major restoration and the other one comes in a rare, but original red color.

PLAYLIST

Now on Spotify AND YouTube

Do you need some inspirational Bond music?
Follow the Bond Lifestyle EYES ONLY playlist on Spotify.

NEW: Now also on YouTube!

Since several songs requested by fans are not available on Spotify (probably due to licensing issues), I have now also created the EYES ONLY list on YouTube where most songs are available. Check it out here.

This list will be regularly updated with new Bond-related songs, selected by the Bond Community. If YOU have a suggestion, send me a message! And in each Q&A (see below) you’ll find a new song as well.

Q. Which three Bond clothes or accessories do you wear the most?
A. Tom Ford Marko’s from SkyFall, No Time To Die Omega Seamaster and Orlebar Brown Thunderball Shirts.

Q. If you could keep only 1 item of your Bond collection, what would it be?
A. A Live And Let Die receipt from EON to the homeowners at Millers Bridge. I was gifted it from a homeowner there in 2017.

Q. What is your most popular post/video?
A. No Time To Die - Royal Premiere video that blew up. (200k views ) Posted it from my cell phone while having lunch at Duke’s the next day. It was the cast introduction within the hall. The internet probably thought it was the full movie!?

Q. Which Bond location do you still want to visit?
A. Still need to get to San Francisco and also Matera would be nice.

Q. If you could meet any Bond actor (even if they’re no longer with us), who would that be and why?
A. Cubby was in Moonraker so does he count? I’d love to have dinner with him and ask him a plethora of business questions.

Q. Which Bond-related song do you want to add to the Bond Lifestyle Playlist on Spotify / YouTube?
A. "If There Was a Man" by The Pretenders. It was one of two songs recorded by the band for the 1987 James Bond film The Living Daylights, the other being "Where Has Everybody Gone?". "If There Was a Man" was included on the The Living Daylights soundtrack. The song is sung at the finale of the film when Bond reunites with Kara Milovy in her dressing room in Vienna after her cello performance, continuing into the end credits.

Q. Rolex or Omega?
A. Omega… because I don’t have a Rolex.
