Wishlist: Denon earphones, TM Lewin dress shirt and the final Mercedes G-Wagen
From cufflinks to champagne, this is what we want this week...
1. Mercedes-AMG G65 Final Edition
After almost four decades of continuous production, the Mercedes G-Class – one of the most iconic cars in automotive history – will soon be taken off the market. To celebrate its send off, Mercedes has produced 65 units of the appropriately named Mercedes-AMG G65 Final Edition. Built with a huge 6.0-litre V12 engine from AMG, the G65 can clock 0-62 mph in 5.3 seconds and has a top speed of 143 mph.
When it comes to visuals, this monstrous four-wheeler is certainly a step-up from its siblings; with touches of matte bronze throughout the exterior, a deep gloss black paint job all over and designo black Nappa leather and carbon fibre trims inside, the G-Wagen is certainly getting the farewell it deserves.
2. Away Luggage x Gray Malin suitcases
Travel brand Away Luggage – which has gained cult-like status thanks to its renowned collaborations and stripped-back designs – has teamed up with photographer Gray Malin to produce a sleek range of suitcases. Available in four of Away’s standard sizes, this collection comes in a trio of colourways that have been hand-selected by Malin, and each one incorporates three of his most popular aerial images: Coral is lined with sunbathers on Bondi Beach, Ocean comes with an image of paddle boarders on the coast of Rio de Janeiro and Alpine depicts skiers on the slopes of Whistler’s 7th Heaven Pass.
3. TM Lewin Marcella wing collar evening dress shirt
With slim sleeves and a tailored silhouette, this TM Lewin shirt will ensure you’ll be looking your sharpest at any formal occasion. Better still, with a wing collar it’s ideal for showing off a self-tie bow tie, making it your go-to menswear item this party season. Best worn with a timeless black, shawl collar tux jacket.
4. The Longines Avigation BigEye
Horological master Longines regularly draws on its historical timepieces to enhance its Heritage line, and recently the brand has reissued a 1930s-inspired chronograph. The Avigation BigEye (“Avigation” being a combination of “aviation” and “navigation”, which were the two functions that the original timepiece was designed to serve), features a 41mm diameter case, its semi-glossy black dial is decorated with Arabic numerals coated with SuperLuminova and it also displays a small second hand at 9 o’clock as well as a 12-hour counter at 6 o’clock.
Moreover, true to the spirit of pilots’ watches, this model displays a readable dial and push-buttons that enable the wearer to handle them while wearing gloves.
5. Denon AH-C821 earphones
Designed with memory foam buds to guarantee a secure fit, and using an all-new driver that utilises ‘Double Air Compression’ technology (which effectively achieves high-quality bass with minimal distortion), the AH-C821 by Denon guarantees a premium audio performance without any unnecessary weight. The best part? Users can tune the sound to their personal preference thanks to the Denon Audio app.
6. Moonstones cufflinks
Elevate your TM Lewin shirt to even greater style heights with a pair of moonstone cufflinks by Antwerp-based Oh My Got. Made from 18 carat white gold and containing 72 diamonds and two moonstones, this luxury set will add a touch of modern elegance to any ensemble you wear.
7. Luvienz Caviar Edition champagne
Marrying two Epicurean icons – champagne and caviar – Luvienz has created the most opulent beverage money can buy. Made from 100% chardonnay grapes aged over 20 years from the Côte des Blancs vineyards and blended with caviar extract sourced from the waters of Bulgaria and Iran, this unique tipple is limited to only 25,000 bottles a year. To finish the look, each one is designed with a 24 carat gold silkscreen printing.
