Today in Gear: Start Your Week Here

Apple recently filed to secure patents on a handful of ‘Reality’ names, including “Reality One,” “Reality Processor” and “Reality Pro.” Fans suspect one of these names could be used across the company’s highly-anticipated Augmented Reality/Virtuality Reality headsets. The new headsets have been rumored to be in development for years – specifically ever since the company purchased the VR company VRvana in 2017. Now, these new trademarks were filed by a series of shell companies fans have managed to tie to Apple and may signal that the headsets are finally nearing launch, though most sources suggest production will be delayed until 2023.

Today we’re looking at mood-boosting cologne, a portable cooler keg and sterling silver Air Tag housing. This is Today in Gear.

Nue Co. Launches Mood Boosting Fragrances

The Nue Co.

Made with ingredients like pink peppercorn, cedarwood and green cardamom, Nue Co.’s new fragrances are designed “to work with your olfactory system for instant feel-good results.” The collection’s three scents are each designed around a specific purpose – including improving focus, calming stress and offering “a breath of fresh air” – and retail for $95 each. That said, you can also bring home a full discovery set to sample all three (entitled Forest Lungs, Mind Energy and Functional Fragrance) for $90.

Bvlgari Unveils Octo Finissimo Skeleton 8 Days

BVLGARI

Over the last decade, Bvlgari has used its Octo Finissimo to collect eight world records in eight years. Now, its new Octo Finissimo Skeleton 8 Days boasts an eight-day power reserve. The in-house movement can run for a full 192 hours on a single wind, and remains visible through a gorgeous open-worked, rose gold dial. The watch comes on a dark brown alligator strap and retails for €38,500 ($38,512).

KA-BAR Releases the Hatchet Hawk

KA-BAR

The Hatchet Hawk’s bit blade measures 4.75 inches long and is made with stain and impact-resistant 5Cr15MoV steel. The full ax measures 16 inches long and weighs just 1.56 pounds, thanks to its thin blade and a handle made of Brown TPR. While this isn’t the company’s first ax, it’s the only one available in its current lineup and a sturdy sub-$100 option for all your chopping needs. Now available for just $78 from the KA-BAR site, the hatchet also comes with a heavy-duty polyester sheath.

Meet the Cooler Keg Making Draft Beer Portable

Cooler Keg

This cooler comes with two refillable 228 oz kegs. Once filled, the kegs can supply up to 36 beers or 72 cocktails and stay cool thanks to two reusable ice packs. To use, simply fill the kegs, attach the lines and start pouring – no pumping required. Plus, if you want to swap out the kegs and use the stainless steel cooler on its own, you can simply remove the keys, draft system and tap tower and pack the cooler up with your favorite RTDs. Fans can reserve their cooler today on IndieGoGo, where the device currently retails for $629 and will ship in March 2023.

Good Art Drops A Sterling Silver Air Tag Housing

GOOD ART HLYWD

Good Art creates ‘luxury accessories’ – think jewelry, pins, clips and keychains, as well as lighters, incense, wallet chains and more. The brand has now added a new Apple-forward offering to its lineup, building on its previous Apple Watch Bracelet and Airpod Case, with its sterling silver, $535 Air Tag Case. The company provides little information about the jewelry-grade housing, perhaps knowing that those who want it won’t need much convincing.
