Each week we present to you some of the best gear on the planet. Whether it's Audi's newest ride or Longines' latest timepiece, these are the products you need this week to shake up your lifestyle.
The Audi Q6 SUV e-tron is now here. The newest member to the fully-electric Audi SUV family takes innovation and user focused design to a whole new level. An inverted single frame grille signifies the model as fully electric, and the Q6 SUV e-tron produces a powerful 388 PS allowing it to smoothly accelerate from 0-62mph in just 5.9 seconds.
You might think of Brioni purely for its suits, but the brand also does some really neat golf gear (among other things). This white cotton, silk and cashmere vest sits in the Italian brand's new golf capsule, and comes stamped with a Brioni Golf logo on chest.
Crafted from an ultra-quick-drying Italian recycled polyester, Abtany's swim shorts are just what you need now the weather's warming up, and you're thinking about days by the beach (or pool). Featuring two side seam pockets, and a back pocket with a zipper, these are planet-friendly, functional and look the part.
Penfolds has been going since 1844 and it has never allowed and external designer to remix its bottles. Well, 2024 was the year that happened. And who do you ask? Master of graphics, Kenzo creative director Nigo, of course. Nigo has given his spin to a bottle of Penfolds' 2019 Grange, which comes in two gift boxes: 750ml (1,500 available) and 1.5L (150 available).
Now the sun is sort of shining, it's time to brighten up your wardrobe. One easy way? A pair of white slacks. Aubin's Caistor is a new style nspired by traditional utility trousers, and they are made using a robust cotton canvas fabric. Durable, just don't spill anything.
Longines' newest Hydroconquest GMT, which comes with a tasteful green sunray dial, also now comes with 43 mm-diameter green dial, with an exclusive Longines GMT calibre L844.5. This results in extreme precision, and a power reserve of up to 72 hours, while water resistance to 30 bar (300 metres) and a screw-in crown and screw-down back are the signature features of this watch inspired by water sports.
Jack Daniel's Bonded Rye is for people who like a bit of spice with their tipple, and it is made with a mashbill of 70 per cent rye, 18 per cent corn and 12 per cent malted barley. Like the classic Jack Daniel's No. 7, this whiskey is filtered through charcoal after distillation and aged in new American oak casks.
Cheaney is all about timeless British craftsmanship, and the new collaborative Bannister sneakers with Walsh, which are made using sleek suedes and leather, are exemplary of that. Each pair is an update to the pre-existing 'Horwich' style, but now has more of a runner-style finish as an homage to legendary runner Roger Bannister.
