A Rugged German Off-Roader Is Reprising One of Its Most Divisive Looks Ever

Mercedes-Benz has announced the revival of the G-Class Cabriolet. The last time the Three-Pointed Star built a droptop G, it took the form of the ultra-luxurious Maybach G650, and it featured a retractable Landaulet-style roof. Though Mercedes-Benz hasn’t confirmed a timeline, the G-Class is due for an update soon — it may arrive as early as 2026.

Roughly one year after Swiss-based microbrand Furlan Marri rescued the retro “Disco Volante” (Italian for “Flying Saucer”) watch style from the dustbin of history, the brand has launched what is essentially a black-tie version of the model. The Disco Onyx Diamonds features a dial made of black onyx stone and adorned with baguette-cut lab-grown diamond indices — 0.12 carats’ worth. The round stainless steel case, with its unique integrated crown, measures 38mm across and is just 8.1mm thick thanks to the hand-wound Peseux Cal. 7001 manual-wind movement inside, which has received extensive custom hand-finishing by the brand. The watch includes both soft steel mesh and black leather straps and retails for CHF 3,500, which at launch equates to around $4,384. It’s limited to 100 pieces.

According to Jonah Flicker at Robb Report, The Macallan is venturing beyond whisky with the launch of Origen, a premium vermouth created in partnership with the historic sherry house Valdespino. Debuting this October, Origen blends fortified wine tradition with The Macallan’s expertise in oak maturation, delivering a layered profile that nods to both heritage and innovation. Designed to elevate the apéritif experience, it reflects the distillery’s expanding ambitions outside single malt, while maintaining its commitment to craftsmanship and character. This bold move signals a fresh chapter in The Macallan’s pursuit of flavor.

We’ve seen many iterations of J.Crew’s heralded Barn Jacket, but this indigo-dyed canvas version is arguably the best. It is made from the standard 100% cotton canvas but dyed in natural indigo for a warm blue. Like a good pair of jeans, it will fade and patina with age. The collar is lined with brown corduroy, and the body is fully lined with a green, white and blue cotton tartan fabric. It is equipped with the definitive overlapping double-patch pockets and adjustable cuff tabs.

Arcam has introduced new-and-improved versions of its A5, A15 and A25 stereo integrated amplifiers, which were just released in 2023. The “Plus” versions feature updated circuitry and better power management, resulting in superior performance. Each model still supports Bluetooth, allowing you to stream music to your system, but they now support aptX Lossless, LE Audio and Auracast. And the two larger amplifiers, the A15+ and A25+, how feature HDMI eARC, so you can integrated them into home theater setup.

At first glance, the latest MoonSwatch looks identical to the one released in early August. And for the most part it is, right down to the navy blue Bioceramic case, white opaline dial and our ol’ pal Snoopy, donning a space helmet. But for this one-off variant, Swatch added a popcorn motif to one of the moonphase discs — a nod to September’s full moon, also known as the Harvest or Corn Moon. The watch will only be available the day after the full moon — September 8, 2025 — at select Swatch stores.
