Best Made The Spark (One-Year Edition)

Best Made is celebrating the one-year anniversary of its return with The Spark, a hatchet designed to handle any task you ask of it. Taking cues from the McKinnon “Rockaway” pattern, The Spark weighs just over 2 pounds and features a distinctive design profile. The head is forged from American 5160 high-carbon steel, while the handle is crafted from straight-grain Appalachian hickory. At 17 inches, it’s convenient enough to go anywhere with you, and nimble enough to handle a variety of tasks. The Anniversary Pre-sale begins this Wednesday, September 17, at noon ET.

Brevvo Wireless Professional Coffee Maker

About the same size as a military canteen, this remarkably compact coffee maker is perfect for those who want professional-level brews on the go. It can make up to 16 cups of coffee in as little as three minutes, works with capsules or grounds, doesn’t need a filter and is easy to clean. Best of all: it’s completely wireless. In fact, it can even act as a power bank if you need it.

Porter-Yoshida & Co. Tanker Backpack

Believe it or not, Porter-Yoshida & Co. took inspiration for this backpack from the classic MA-1 bomber jacket. While that’s unusual, the result is a lightweight, weather-resistant ruck sack-style backpack made of three-layer, 100% nylon. It has a side-access zipper, a drawstring main compartment, padded shoulder straps and two large external bellows pockets. Porter-Yoshida & Co. still makes every piece in Tokyo, where the brand was founded in 1935.

Breguet Marine Hora Mundi 5555

Breguet continues its 250th anniversary celebrations with this unexpected worldtimer. Part of the brand’s sportier Marine collection, the 18K gold Hora Mundi 5555 is water-resistant to 100m and is powered by the brand’s in-house Cal. 77F1 automatic worldtimer that allows you to instantly switch time zones around the world using the pusher at 8:00. Press it to adjust the city name in the window at 6:00, and the hands and day-night indicator instantaneously adjust to match the new city’s time. Just as impressive is the dual-layer dial, which features a galvanic blue bottom layer with a guilloche pattern overlaid with a sapphire disc sporting a hand-painted, patented phosphorescent enamel depiction of the Earth. Inspired by NASA’s famous “Black Marble” image, the cities on the dial’s world map light up in the dark.

Apple 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max

Apple has stealthily launched a wall adapter specifically designed to power its iPhone 17 line. It’s a 40-watt GaN charger that holds the distinction of being the first Apple charger to support AVS (Adjustable Voltage Supply), which allows it to output up to 60 watts for a short time (roughly 18 minutes). This means it can charge the newest iPhone 17 models faster than similarly-sized adapters. According to Apple, it’s capable of charging the iPhone 17 models to 50 percent battery in around 20 minutes, or the iPhone Air to 50 percent battery in around 30 minutes.

Victorinox Werks Traveler 7.0 Collection

The brand best known for Swiss Army Knives has streamlined three luggage lines into a single, business-focused 17-piece series that, much like a good SAK, can pretty much do it all. Standout features include ballistic-weave fabrics, expandable designs, built-in laundry bags, anti-microbial SILVADUR tech and the most underrated touch: the brand’s signature personalizable scales. Individual highlight products include the four pictured (clockwise from top left): the Compact Briefcase ($250), Deluxe Backpack ($275), Extra Large Case ($725) and Frequent Flyer Carry-On ($550).
