Editor’s Picks: Porsche Unseen, Hamilton Wristwatch and Laphroaig Beer

From the latest pair of Bang & Olufsen earphones to Ferrari’s new hybrid convertible, this is what we want this week…

Like bolts from the blue, this week’s best new product launches landed with neither drama nor declaration. Whether it was a fresh pair of earphones from Bang & Olufsen, a lip-smacking, whisky-tinged beer from Laphroaig or the latest hybrid convertible from Ferrari, these top-tier reveals sped onto the scene from nowhere.

And many of these bolts are even blue-hued themselves. The Ferrari is finished in a shade the carmaker calls ‘Blu Corsa’, Luca Faloni’s latest shirt is buttoned up in a tasteful turquoise and Hamilton’s new field watch features a two-tone navy dial. Take a look below…

Turn it up: Bang & Olufsen ‘Beoplay EX’ Earphones

Thankfully, the latest from Bang & Olufsen are built around a stem-based design that ensures a stable fit. Finished in the eclectically-named shade of ‘Anthracite Oxygen’, they feature adaptive ANC and a fully waterproof design.
