2027 Range Rover Electric
Land Rover's most radical flagship has officially arrived. Say hello to the first-ever, internal combustion-less Range Rover Electric. Heralded as the SUV's next big chapter, the Range Rover Electric serves as the model's big step forward into the EV space. It may not look dissimilar to the standard Range Rover, but that's the point. The idea is to provide the whole experience that a Range Rover typically offers, just without internal combustion power. The result is an estimated real-world driving range of up to 333 miles, while charging can take as little as 22 minutes from 10-80% on the appropriate public fast charger. Yet, the Range Rover Electric can still tow up to nearly 5,500 pounds while also being able to wade up to 35.4 inches of water. read more
Roku Pro Series OLED TVs
Roku has introduced its first OLED TVs, designed for those who want OLED-level picture quality without paying OLED-level prices. There are two models: the Pro Series OLED and the Pro Series LX OLED. Each is a 4K TV with gaming-specific features (including an Automatic Game Mode and AMD FreeSync Premium). And TV each is available in 55- and 65-inch sizes. The LX OLED models are a bit higher-end, with faster refresh rates (144Hz vs 120Hz) and a brighter picture. Naturally, each TV comes baked with Roku's latest smart operating system. The Pro Series OLED TVs start at $999 (and are available now), while the Pro Series LX OLED TVs start at $1,299 (and will be available this October). read more
Piaget Polo Minute Repeater
Piaget adds to its flagship sports watch line with a striking minute repeater loaded with hand-decoration. Inside the 48mm x 9.3mm white gold case is the in-house, ultra-thin Calibre 1290P automatic movement, which is wound via a platinum micro-rotor and features hand-beveled components and hand-polished hammers for the minute repeater. The partially open-worked blue dial is also made of gold and is finished with a hand-guilloché pattern. The watch includes two blue interchangeable straps, one embossed calf leather and one alligator leather, to go with a white gold folding buckled. Limited to just five numbered pieces per year, the watch's price is only available upon request. read more
C2H4 012 – The Mechanic Washed Engineer Jacket
The Mechanic Washed Engineer Jacket pulls from workwear heritage and runs it through the Los Angeles label's signature treatment process. The jacket is garment dyed and spray-washed for a lived-in finish. Corduroy at the cuffs and collar, contrast-colored buttonholes and decorative stitching on the placket give it a layered, tactile character. Features include bellows and double-welt patch pockets, and adjustable waist straps. It is available in Lake Blue, Dark Taupe and Warm Ochre. read more
Octomore 17 Series Whiskies
The Octomore 17 Series brings together three expressions — 17.1, 17.2 and 17.3 — each distilled on Islay and bottled at cask strength. All three are aged five years and peated to either 81.0 or 132.1 PPM, making them among the most heavily peated single malts produced anywhere. The set of Islay whiskies arrives with four complimentary tasting glasses and spans a flavor arc from coastal, vanilla-driven smoke to wine-cask fruit richness to searingly medicinal peat. Now 17 years into the series, this serves as a complete picture of what Octomore can do. read more
2027 KTM 450 SMR
The 2027 KTM 450 SMR brings a sharp new look to the brand's class-leading Supermoto formula with black rims, hand guards, a silencer and seat. Its proven 450cc single remains in place, providing power through a Suter slipper clutch with multiple maps, traction control and launch control on tap. It also still rides on WP XACT suspension. However, KTM has made the bike even better thanks to a new Premium Manufacturer's Warranty at no extra cost. read more
Vans Ward Stripe Rugby Knit
Rugby shirts continue to trend, and Vans' take on the heritage style is a loose-fitting silhouette cut from 100 percent jersey cotton. Wide yarn-dyed stripes and a button-front placket do most of the style work, while ribbed cuffs keep the sleeves in place. An embroidered Vans logo sits at the chest. For anyone looking to try the classic style, this is an wallet-friendly and style-forward option. read more
Shinola Vinton Watch – Petrified Wood
Designed and assembled (like all Shinola timepieces) in Detroit, this affordable new Vinton treatment takes an already clean three-hand silhouette and makes it genuinely singular. The dial is cut from petrified Juniper sourced in the Pacific Northwest, a material formed over millions of years that shifts between amber, rust and gray depending on the light, ensuring that no two dials are alike. An Argonite 713 movement makes it tick, while a polished stainless steel case and brushed gold indexes keep the rest of the watch measured, letting the stone do the talking. read more
