From cycling jerseys to shaving kits, this is what we want this week...

Words: Josh Lee

After hours of scouring the ‘net for the best watch we could find this week, we’ve come across this horological beauty. IWC Schaffhausen’s latest offering, the Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII, is a throwback to the iconic design of the Mark 11. Featuring luminescent small rectangles at the 3, 6, 9, and 12 o’clock marks, a green textile “Nato” strap, and the yellow “Balkenkreuz” insignia and baton hands, this piece of wrist armour has all the classic hallmarks of the 1948 original. But, if you want to snap up this beauty you better act fast, as there are only 1,948 available.

Beach body ready yet? Us neither. But with this slick new piece of cycling gear, you may want to jump back on your two-wheeler once again and get your lean physique back. Stylish yet practical, this pea green jersey is made from four-way stretch fabric that provides performance boosting compression while mesh side panels further increase breathability. Better still, five rear pockets allow you to pack away all your essentials for a day on the road and the waterproof valuables pocket will store even the largest of iPhones, meaning that you can have a quick Instagram in between rides.

For those gentlemen who prefer a smoother face, you’ll undoubtedly know that shaving can often be both an arduous and expensive task. However, startup brand Harry’s may well have the solution to your grooming problems. Included in its “Truman” set is a razor which ensures optimum control via its rubberised grip, five German-engineered blades that work well either with or against the grain, a gel or shave cream, and a travel blade cover. And at the price of just £14 this may well be the fairly-priced game changer the razor market needed. Your move, Gillette.

With summer now in full swing, it’s time to jet set to whichever city or beach you’ve been daydreaming about at your desk for the past months. And for every gent out there, your travels aren’t complete without a stylish carry-on. Handmade in Florence with vegetable tanned leather from Santa Croce, this holdall is not only a durable menswear must-have, but it will also only get better with age.

You’ve just dropped a cool grand on a sleek new Macbook. Now it’s time to carry it around in something that’s just as opulent. This slimline sling bag is not only elegant in design, but can also accommodate all travel and work essentials such as credit cards, pens, a wallet, and passport. A modern day essential for the businessman on-the-go.

Save yourself that taxi ride home from the pub this Friday night and stay in with this ultimate bar kit. Housed within a leather and wood trunk, this gargantuan set encompasses 62 pieces, including silver-plated Martelé drinkware and accessories such as champagne flutes and ice tongs, and can store up to 12 bottles of wine and 10 bottles of liquor. Salute!

Remember that succulent cut of meat from your favourite steakhouse last week? It was mostly dry aged. Now, you can emulate such gastronomic perfection with this incredible piece of kitchenware. The isolating tinted glass door protects the valuable content from the harmful influence of UV light, while inside the temperature, humidity, and airflow controls ensure proper ageing. Moreover, the activated carbon filter with an active UVC-ventilated-disinfection system sterilises all of the air in the fridge every minute. So, the only thing you need to do is supply it with power and some good quality meat.
