The best gear in the world right now, from Technogym's new dumbbells to Oris' Miss Piggy collaboration

Each week we present to you some of the best gear on the planet. Whether it's Oris's Miss Piggy link up or a pair of Technogym dumbbells that do more for your body than most, these are the products that you need to shake up your lifestyle for the better...
Technogym is the world's leading expert when it comes to workout gear, whether that's the stuff in your gym, or the equipment you use at home. Take for instance the brand's latest dumbbells set, the AI-powered Connected Dumbbells+. The 12 in 1 connected dumbbells with personalised load prescriptions are tailored to your strength and progress, and ensure you get the very best out of a workout.
Following on from a collaboration with Kermit the Frog, Oris is continuing its joyful collaboration with The Muppets. The ProPilot X Miss Piggy Edition features a 34 mm case, a hot pink dial and a baguette-cut lab-grown diamond at 12 o’clock. Think it's not very Miss Piggy so far? On the back there's a spyhole revealing Miss Piggy’s glamorous portrait.
Dry January? Not here. The Isle of Raasay Signature Single Malt (The Draam) is warming up our months, with its lightly peated balance and rich, dark fruit flavours. Honey gold in colour with hints of red wine hues, it's exactly what you need to ease into the new year.
And if vodka is more your thing, try Quarter Proof's light Three Grain Spirit. Distilled in the UK, it has the full flavour of vodka with just 15 per cent ABV, which in turn offers a smoother and much lighter experience (on both your tastebuds and your head).
It's a big year for Giorgio Armani. The brand turns 50 this year, which is cause for celebration. How so? Well one of the Italian label's iconic single-breasted suits is a good place to start. The sophisticated Soho Line suit combines traditional tailoring with luxurious, refined fabrics (virgin wool) that highlight its modern look. The ideal work-to-play suit.
Now is the time to get on top of your knit game. Us? We're heading to Hackett, for that's where you'll find shawl cardigans like this one that are made from super luxe Merino wool and level up your winter wear.
To celebrate the Year of the Snake, Longines has launched a special edition of its Conquest Heritage in partnership with renowned Chinese artist Wu Jian'an. Wu Jian'an created a design of a mystical snake holding a Lingzhi mushroom in its mouth, which is intricately engraved on the caseback of the watch. Limited to 2025 pieces, the timepiece features a 40 mm stainless steel case with an angled screwed-down case back engraved with the unique snake emblem, a symbol of good fortune, as well as a sun gradient red domed dial.
Big Christmas and even larger New Year left you feeling a little worse for wear? The mighty United Fitness 21 Day challenge - 21 classes in 21 days - is what you need. Built on the premise that it takes 21 days to kick a habit, the challenge comprises classes held at KOBOX, Boom Cycle classes, Barrecore, Reformcore, and Triyoga. Those who successfully complete the challenge will be entered into a draw to win a selection of prizes including a 3-month unlimited United Fitness membership.
Vallon's Ski Aviators pay homage to the iconic ski sunglasses design that dominated ski culture in the 1970s and early 80s and was worn by everyone from Wayne Wong to Paul Newman and Robert Redford. The new frames are just like those from 50 years ago, but come with exceptionally clear V52 lenses and a modern fit.
