Nivada GrenchenNivada Grenchen Antarctic Erotic
Nivada Grenchen just took its fan-favorite Antarctic 38mm and gave it a decidedly after-hours alter ego. The new Antarctic Erotic keeps the clean, vintage-leaning dial and 38mm stainless steel Spider Case but adds a see-through caseback that hides an animated penguin scene that only comes to life when you wind the watch.
CrocsCrocs x LEGO Masterbrand Creativity Clog
This isn’t the first time Crocs and LEGO have collaborated on footwear — the brands previously released a clog that looked like a big, rectangular building block — but it might be the truest expression of both brands’ signature products. The core of the shoe is a Crocs Classic Clog, complete with its back strap and perforated foam upper. But the outsole’s sidewalls are lined with genuine LEGO pieces. Furthermore, the shoe comes with Jibbitz charms that are also LEGO pieces. But don’t worry: they absolutely do not feel like walking on LEGO pieces.
NomadNomad Tracking Card Air (Google Find Hub)
Nomad launched the Tracking Card Air in early 2025. It’s a credit card-sized Bluetooth tracker that works with Apple’s Find My network; it’s effectively an AirTag that can fit in your wallet. As of March 2026, the company has introduced a version of the Tracking Card Air for Android users. It looks exactly the same, but it works with Google’s Find Hub network.
Smith OpticsSmith Syncline
Smith’s latest shades are a fog-free full-service dream for active outdoor athletes, thanks to a light but tough rimless bio-based frame with a slight wraparound fit, grippy temple and nose pads and an integrated bumper to eliminate chatter when worn with a helmet. The extra-large silhouette fits a cylindrical shield lens featuring Smith’s ChromaPop tech for enhanced clarity plus UV and glare protection. Each colorway comes with two interchangeable lenses (one for bright sunlight and one for low-light/night escapades), complete with smudge- and moisture-resistant coatings. A pricier variant ($237) also packs a Photochromic Clear to Gray lens that adapts to changing conditions.
FlemingFleming Series 1 Mark II
Independent watch brand Fleming burst onto the scene in 2024 and immediately established itself as a horological force to be reckoned with. Just two years later, the brand is back with a more refined version of its original Series 1 watch, dubbed “Mark II.” The second generation is chock-full of careful renovations, including a more deeply layered and intricately finished dial, sharper angles on the case and a new movement in the Calibre FM.02, which boasts a seven-day power reserve courtesy of twin mainspring barrels and an insane level of hand-finishing that includes 189 interior angles. The watch retails for CHF 55,000 (~$70,000) in tantalum or CHF 53,500 (~$67,500) in pink gold with a gold dial, with each limited to just 25 pieces.
