This Head-Turning Watch Is the Perfect Blend of Classic and Modern Watchmaking

The world’s most advanced time-only watch just went old school. Ulysse Nardin’s Freak S, the wildest version of the brand’s flagship Freak line, which famously has the movement itself stand in for the dial and hands, has a new version that utilizes centuries-old enameling practices. The brand’s in-house enameling workshop has applied gorgeous enamel to the watch’s rotating hour disc, which effectively acts as the dial, and is available in either bright turquoise or ruby red. With the enamel acting as the backdrop for the Freak S’s starship-like flying carousel with its twin silicon oscillators, it’s the ultimate blend of classical and modern watchmaking. Both the turquoise and red versions are limited to 50 pieces each and are priced at $174,400.

Leave it to Porter and Leica to team up on an absolutely outstanding photography-focused backpack such as this one. Not only is the styling impeccable, but the functionality is even better. In fact, this is really three bags in one. There’s the main backpack, which looks great and is built rock-solid. But there’s also a removable camera cube, as well as an even smaller removable accessory bag. Even if you’re not a photographer, the modularity of this bag is perfect for EDC, travel and much more.

In 2020, Herman Miller teamed up with Logitech G to create the Embody Gaming Chair — it’s essentially a suped-up version of the brand’s popular office chair, the Embody Chair. And fast forward to today, and it’s being released in two new colors. There’s “Ignite,” a sportswear-inspired chair with “Dark Mineral” grey upholstery and “Ignite” orange accents. And there’s “Nova,” a fashion-inspired chair with a “Nightfall” navy upholstery and “Nova” ​ purple accents.

While KTM has been struggling mightily over the past year or so, the Austrian brand appears to be bouncing back since India’s Bajaj basically bailed it out over the summer, as evidenced by the production of its first street-legal superbike in some time. Boasting a 990 Duke-derived 947cc parallel-twin LC8c engine making a claimed 128 hp and 76 lb.-ft. of torque, high-end Brembo HyPure caliper brakes and a huge 8.8-inch touchscreen TFT display, the 990 RC R might just prove to be a worthy challenger to the likes of Ducati, Yamaha and Aprilia.

Alfa Romeo just recently rolled out a mid-cycle refresh for its compact, entry-level crossover SUV, the Tonale. It features a long list of updates including a redesigned front end, featuring a new concave “scudetto” grille that is more reminiscent of the grilles used on some of Alfa’s most iconic classic models, new wheel designs, a refreshed color palette, and more. For those looking for a more unique variant, a new Sport Speciale Edition launches with bespoke 20-inch and a two-tone black-and-pearl Alcantara-trimmed interior.
