Buck Mason Woolen Cashmere Carry-On Jacket
Buck Mason’s Carry-On Jacket was one of the most popular travel blazers on the market for years, but it was too casual to pass for a proper blazer. That is, until a redesign in early 2025 strengthened the lapels, added a rope shoulder and created functional-button cuffs. Now, the unconstructed, unlined jacket is further elevated with a 95/5 percent wool-cashmere blend fabric. The enhanced construction and elegant material put this affordable blazer, which is still perfectly adapted for travel and long-wear comfort, on par with luxury tailoring that sells for double the price.

2026 Mercedes-Benz GLC
With the announcement of the 2026 GLC, Mercedes-Benz is giving its most popular model a marked overhaul. Along with a fresh exterior design, it brings an AI-driven MB.OS supercomputer, a seamless MBUX Hyperscreen, as well as a new 800-volt architecture, improved single-pedal braking and much, much more. Beyond its implications for the model, it foreshadows the future of the Mercedes-Benz brand.

Snow Peak System Cooler 19
This Japanese cooler combines the insulation of hard-sided, roto-molded offerings with the packability and flexibility of soft-sided ones. According to the brand, it can keep its contents frozen for up to two days, making it the ideal companion for weekend getaways. It also has interior mesh pockets for cold packs, a removable shoulder strap, compression straps and buckles and more.

Specialized Diverge 4
Upgraded with input from Specialized’s Factory Off-Road Team and offered in eight different variants, the latest generation of the brand’s renowned gravel bike is essentially better in every way. From a micro-suspension standpoint, updated Future Shock 3.0 tech in the handlebars teams with the Roval Terra seatpost to ride out bumps. Throw in clearance for up to 50mm tires and you’ll be dreaming of tackling technical single-track. The new UDH-compatible Diverge also boasts more balanced geometry and SWAT 4.0 downtube storage (available even on the Alloy models), highlighted by a larger opening and simpler closure system.

A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange Jumping Seconds
Lange debuts a new version of its most ironic watch, this time in white gold with a warm dial made of pink gold dial. The watch features a pleasingly symmetrical regulator layout with overlapping subdials for hours, minutes and seconds, but this is no ordinary regulator. The seconds subdial, which is the largest and most central display on the dial, features a deadbeat seconds complication, meaning the seconds hand jumps once per second. In other words, the way the watch ticks resembles a quartz watch rather than the intricate, hand-finished mechanical masterpiece it is. There’s also a demure power reserve indicator located at the intersection of the hour and minutes displays that switches to red when the watch has just 10 hours of juice remaining. The watch also features a constant-force escapement that provides consistent precision across the full length of the power reserve, along with a unique Zero-Reset mechanism that resets the seconds hand to zero when you pull out the crown. Price is available upon request.
