Editor’s Picks: Moët & Chandon Champagne, Tod’s sneakers, Thom Sweeney t-shirt and Certina watch

Never a brand to linger in the shallow end, Certina pushes its underwater credentials further with the launch of its DS SUPER PH2000M, the first PH timepiece engineered for depths of up to 2,000 metres. Crafted in Grade 2 titanium with a ceramic bezel, it runs on the Powermatic 80 movement with a Nivachron balance spring, delivering an 80-hour power reserve. Built on Certina's DS concept from 1959, this watch comes on a choice of titanium, rubber, or fabric strap, making it a serious piece of engineering for exploring the depths unknown.

Edinburgh's Walker Slater knows a thing or two about proper tailoring, and this double-pleated linen trouser proves the Scottish house translates just as well to warmer months. Cut fuller through the thigh and tapering gently to the hem, it swaps a belt for buckle-and-strap side adjusters, with slanted hip pockets, horn buttons, and a herringbone weave in a warm bark shade round out the details.

Vintage champagnes are reserved for exceptional years only, and Moët & Chandon's 2016 release earns its place with an extended five-year ageing process in the house's historic cellars. Expect notes of stone fruit, grapefruit, pastry, and walnut, with real depth and texture. And, for added theatre, why not indulge at the Moët & Chandon Champagne Bar in Harrods, where the brand is currently running a collaborative menu with Pharrell Williams and offering guests a choice from a range of the Maison's broader expressions.

Summer city breaks demand a sleek sneaker that handles cobblestones and cocktail hours with equal ease, and Tod's Red Dot manages both exquisitely. Crafted in Italy from exceptionally soft Pashmy suede, it sits on an extralight outsole with signature rubber pebble detailing for genuine flexibility underfoot, whilst pairing comfortably with casual and semi-formal ensembles.

There's an undeniable ease that comes with quality linen and island living, and LOVE BRAND & Co's Hoffman Shirt captures both effortlessly. Crafted from 100 per cent natural Belgian and French linen, it features the brand's signature half-button placket (with corozo nut buttons over plastic) for a relaxed yet refined look. The coral pink shade pays tribute to co-founder Rose's love of the Bahamas' coral reefs, while a portion of every purchase supports reef conservation through BREEF.

There are few drinks more refreshing in the heat than a classic gin and tonic, and Three Cents' Aegean Tonic gives the old standard a proper Mediterranean lift. Brewed with natural quinine, cucumber, basil, and citrus, it's sharp and invigorating enough to hold its own against a good gin without drowning it out, in addition to being equally at home with tequila or Greek mastiha liqueur.

Boscastle Harbour isn't the most obvious place to build a culinary reputation, but Alex Key's The Rocket Store has done exactly that, and this new cookbook tells you how. Part recipe collection, part memoir, each chapter is shaped by a different thread of Key's story with dishes to match. A quarter of proceeds go to CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably), making it as thoughtful a purchase as it is a good read.

Now that we're accustomed to having more than five days of good sun per year, there's no excuse not to have a couple of solid frames in the eyewear rotation. FINLAY's Marshall (in Dark Havana) pairs an angular frame with a smoother lens shape and has been handcrafted from sustainable Italian Mazzucchelli acetate and fitted with Zeiss lenses for full UVA/UVB protection. These shades are a standout brand favourite for good reason, offering polarised and ultra-thin lens options for those adding a more personal touch.

As summer mileage climbs, your kit needs to evolve too, and HOKA's smoothest Clifton yet is built to handle that shift. The PROGLIDE+ midsole and aggressive MetaRocker deliver a noticeably livelier ride than its predecessors, while the breathable engineered mesh upper keeps things airy through warmer, longer runs. Super Abrasion Rubber in high-wear zones adds durability without weighing things down, making this model a dependable everyday trainer, that's been recalibrated for faster, more ambitious training blocks.

Founded by watchmakers and designers who cut their teeth at some of the industry's biggest names, Vanguart set out to challenge industry convention, and the Orb is proof they've succeeded. The Swiss brand's 395-part in-house movement sits inside a curved, integrated-lug titanium case, with a flying tourbillon at six o'clock, a press-in crown cycling between winding modes, and a floating diamond rotor that self-aligns at twelve.

A matching set solves the age-old summer dilemma of what goes with what, and David Gandy Wellwear's linen version is about as easy as it gets. Cut from 100 per cent breathable, naturally antibacterial linen, the relaxed camp-collar shirt pairs smoothly with the coordinated drawstring short, with both pieces coming garment-washed for a soft, lived-in feel straight off the rack. Primed for a breezy matching ensemble, or split top and bottoms for summer versatility.

Twelve years of patient sturgeon breeding at the Manufacture Prunier have gone into producing this particular tin, and our tastebuds can tell. Sourced from the Acipenser Gueldenstaedtii sturgeon, the light brown-grey grains carry a creamy texture and a lightly salted, subtly persistent flavour rarely found in more mass-produced Osciètre. Hand-graded for size, colour, and consistency during production, it's the kind of detail that separates Prunier from the pack. Our preference? Serve chilled on mother-of-pearl, with nothing more than blinis and crème fraîche to get in the way.

Abraham-Louis Breguet invented the tourbillon in 1801, and more than two centuries on, the house that bears his name hasn't stopped evolving. The Classique Tourbillon 7357 houses an optimised version of the storied Calibre 558 (now known as the 187B), hand-finished with bevelled edges and a hand-guilloché anthracite dial visible through a sapphire caseback. The 35mm platinum case carries a 60-hour power reserve from its manual-wind movement with an elegant calfskin strap completing this piece of horological artistry.

A quality chef's knife is one of those items that you never think you need, until you try one and there's no going back. Founded by chef Tom Straker, Form Cookware's debut set pairs a Chef and Santoku blade, forged in Sheffield from X50CrMoV15 stainless steel and designed in London by knifemaker Alfie Fry of Cabin Knives. Precision-balanced for everything from delicate slicing to daily prep, this is proper British craftsmanship built to earn a permanent spot on the block.

The recent hot spell has a way of exposing just how much your T-shirt rotation needs an upgrade, and Thom Sweeney's Linen Crew Neck is exactly the kind of piece to answer that call. Made in Italy from a 97 per cent linen, 3 per cent elastane blend, it's cut with a tailored fit that flatters under an unstructured jacket without sacrificing warm-weather breathability, with the salmon colourway adding a touch of personality beyond the usual whites and navies, making it just smart enough for the office, but easy enough for the weekend.
