SamsungSamsung Neo QLED 4K QN90F TV (115″)
Samsung’s QN90F is its new flagship line of Neo QLED 4K TVs for 2025 — they’re simply gorgeous. When it was released in March 2025, the largest size that Samsung offered was a 98-inch model, priced at $15,000. As of August 2025, Samsung has now taken it up a notch by releasing an even larger 115-inch model. According to the press release, the display “delivers stunning, AI-enhanced picture quality that’s optimized to deliver details that stay sharp and clear on the big screen.”
RingbrothersRingbrothers 1971 Aston Martin DBS ‘Octavia’
Wisconsin-based restomod specialists Ringbrothers have officially entered the export game with the debut of ‘Octavia.’ An American take on the 1971 Aston Martin DBS, it features a dramatic widebody design, an abundance of carbon fiber and numerous Bond-inspired touches (like the name). Under the hood, Octavia packs an 805-horsepower supercharged Ford V8, and it boasts modernities like C7 Corvette rear suspension.
ColumbiaColumbia ROC Tech Cargo Pants
In the brand’s words, these pants are “overqualified for everyday adventures.” While that sounds boastful and perhaps hyperbolic, they did some testing to that end: Columbia made a rope out of these pants and dangled someone from a helicopter to prove it. Not only are these pants incredibly tough, but they also offer plenty of comfort and utility, thanks to some built-in stretch and plenty of pockets. Perhaps best of all: you can have all this and more for a paltry fee (relative to other, similar adventure pants).
ChronoswissChronoswiss Opus Purple Rain
The original Chronoswiss Opus debuted in 1995 as the world’s first skeletonized automatic chronograph, and 30 years later, the brand is celebrating its trailblazing model with a seriously special version. The Opus Purple Rain features a Grade 5 titanium case that’s been colored purple, along with the skeletonized dial, using chemical vapor deposition. Powering the watch is the skeletonized C.741S movement, which also boasts purple CVD treatment on its rotor. Lastly, and most unique of all, is the “Magic” strap. Made of white leather, the strap is UV-reactive, meaning its color changes to purple in sunlight. Limited to 30 pieces, the celebratory Opus Purple Rain is priced at $17,000.
GiantMouseGiantMouse GMF1 Jubilee Silver
GiantMouse celebrates its 10th anniversary with the stunning Jubilee Collection, an exclusive series of high-end fixed-blade knives. While the Jubilee Gold will only be available at August 23rd’s grand opening of the brand’s showroom in East Lansing, Michigan — and the Copper sold out — the Silver drops today at noon and, considering there are just 28 units, won’t last long. Meticulously manufactured in Maniago, Italy, it features a 2.7-inch blade made of rippling Vinland Damasteel and a handle made of Space Coral Silver Carbon (carbon fiber and silver-infused resin). The knife measures 5.27 inches total, weighs 2.5 ounces and comes with a handcrafted black leather sheath.
