Casio Lab GXFAB

Leave it to Casio, makers of the formidable G-Shock, to create what may just be the world’s toughest black t-shirt. While the fabric itself is indeed tough, thanks to a 20-count double yarn that equates to 10.2 ounces, its real calling card is its resistance to fading. The GXFAB uses solution-dyed yarns that stand up better to bleach, sunlight and other factors that commonly lead to color change. Casio even claims it simulated the equivalent of ten years of sun exposure, with minimal effect.

Red Wing IronFlex

While this is decidedly not the brand’s best-looking boot, it wasn’t made to be. Rather, this work boot represents some of the most advanced engineering this 120+ year heritage footwear brand has ever achieved. Over three million Ultimate Fit Experience foot scans — taken from real workers — went into designing this boot to be the ultimate footwear for the working person, especially over long shifts. It’s also waterproof, incredibly durable and comes in a variety of styles.

Jaeger-LeCoultre x Marc Newson Memovox Travel Clock

Former Apple designer Marc Newson teams up with JLC for this beautiful, innovative travel clock inspired by the latter’s iconic Memovox line of alarm watches. The clock features a patented power reserve indicator displayed by cutouts outside of the hour markers, with each of the 12 cutouts representing a full day of power. When full, the power reserves are orange, and they turn blue when depleted. Winding and setting of the clock is done via a “peripheral crown” that works like a watch bezel, with a switch on the back of the clock that toggles between four modes: winding the clock’s two mainsprings, winding the alarm’s dedicated mainspring, setting the clock and setting the alarm. The clock includes three leather accessories, including a stand, and its body is made of lightweight titanium. Price is available upon request.

2027 BMW 7 Series

BMW revealed its latest rendition of its flagship 7 Series sedan today in the heart of Manhattan. Based on the current seventh-generation “G70,” the latest 7 Series incorporates a plethora of updates equating to its signature “Lifecycle Impulse” or “LCI” update, which is BMW speak for mid-cycle refresh. Such updates include revised exterior and interior styling that aligns with the Munich automaker’s latest Neue Klasse design language. And for the first time, the 7 Series now incorporates the company’s new Panoramic iDrive and the latest BMW Operating System X. Although BMW treats its drivers with the most priority, passengers also get pampered, with the front passenger now getting its own interactive screen, while rear passengers receive an updated 31-inch ultra-wide Theater Screen. And for the first time, the 7 Series now comes with new trim levels, including Luxury, M Sport and M Sport Professional. Propulsion options remain a choice of all-electric power (i7) and a mixture of gas-powered engines.
