Sony’s Innovative Speaker System Aims to Solve Your Soundbar’s Biggest Weakness

Sony’s Bravia Theater Trio is a set of three speakers: one compact soundbar and two side speakers. It’s positioned as the perfect middle ground between a one-box soundbar and a stereo system, as it’s able to deliver the crisp dialogue of a soundbar along with the wide, immersive soundstage that typically comes from a stereo pair. The three speakers are designed to work with Sony’s latest Bravia TVs, as they support Direct Connect (which allows wireless connection). The system supports the latest immersive technologies, including Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and IMAX Enhanced. Additionally, the Bravia Theater Trio can be expanded into a true surround sound system by integrating Sony’s wireless satellite speakers and subwoofers.

Swiss independent watch brand Parmigiani Fleurier celebrates its 30th anniversary with one of its most beautiful and technically impressive creations yet. The Carillon Tourbillon features a 60-second tourbillon, visible on the back, along with a minute repeater, whose hammers and serpentine gongs can be seen on the dial side. The side-fluted 41.6mm case is in white gold, as is the dial, which is colored a gorgeous Morning Blue and features a hand-hammered finish. The incredible movement is the Calibre PF950, which is hand-assembled from 456 individual components and has a monstrous 12-day power reserve. A blued power reserve indicator is visible on the movement side, where the plates and bridges are hand-decorated with a “mezzo vibrato” pattern, providing a visual interpretation of the minute repeater’s acoustic signature. The watch is limited to just five examples, with the price available upon request.

Logitech debuts the M850L, its first-ever mouse with a built-in palm cushion. Part of the Signature Comfort Plus series, the affordable Bluetooth mouse gives you a more ergonomic setup without an extra component while boasting up to 24 months of battery life. Priced at just $50, the device can also be paired with the cushioned MK880 keyboard for just $100.

Finch’s latest knife is inspired by an underappreciated industrial element: the trailer hitch from which it borrows its name. Like that hitch, this knife is hard-working and can take a beating, as it boasts a 14C28N clip-point blade measuring 2.75 inches and a handle with a stainless steel framelock base. However, the knife is much more eye-catching than its namesake, courtesy of its unique trio of handle scale options: abalone, mother of pearl and yellow jigged bone. That’s style and substance all wrapped into one.

A standout of the 343-year-old German boot brand’s new spring collection is its first true trail runner, which boasts innovative Gore-Tex Invisible Fit liners for waterproof, windproof and breathable protection (a fitting touch, as Meindl was the first brand to adopt Gore-Tex footwear linings in 1981). Additional highlights include the lightweight cushioning of an Air-Active footbed and EVA midsole, plus a tough Vibram outsole for secure traction from tarmac to trail.

The celebration of Pokémon’s 30th anniversary continues with this limited-edition, travel collaboration with Rimowa. Debuting as a Japan-exclusive release on June 2nd, the special edition capsule features Pokémon-themed accessories meant to pair with the popular luggage, including a limited-edition sticker set, swappable wheel set and luggage charms featuring Pikachu, Charmander and Charizard.

The replaceable wheels are red and white, a direct nod to the Poké Ball.
