Today in Gear: End Your Week Here

Aston Martin collectors are in for a treat with the brand’s first ultra-luxury showroom now open (by appointment only) on Park Avenue. From the street, fans can take a peek at Aston Martin’s most iconic vehicles lit by a 2,100 bulb chandelier and displayed in front of the massive windows. Those lucky enough to be called customers will be treated to a customization studio including a 10ft LED display that allows buyers to see their exact vehicle at scale, and extra special individuals will even be able to commission a one-of-a-kind vehicle from the flagship.

Today we’re taking a look at a carry-all crocs collab, a race inspired watch, and an at-home spa experience. This is Today in Gear.

This Camera is an Instant Classic

Fujifilm

The newest addition to Fujifilm’s iconic collection of Instax cameras is the Square SQ40. This chic version of their analog camera features a square silhouette, with a faux leather finish, square film and automatic exposure to ensure you capture bright, bold images even in dark spaces. With one twist of the lens you can even turn the camera to selfie mode, making it easier than ever to have an instant keepsake for your most special moments. The SQUARE SQ40 is available now for $150, but the memories you’ll capture are priceless.

These Crocs Are a Summer Staple

MCM

Crocs is no stranger to designer collaborations, their newest release in partnership with german brand MCM isn’t even their first time collaborating. The MCM x Crocs ($395) collab features a miniature belt bag and limited edition jibbitz of classic MCM icons. Unlike their first collaboration released last year, this drop includes a fresh for 2023 bright lime green and white colorway, as well as the classic black and khaki we’ve seen before. If you buy both pairs, you could even interchange the bag detail and create something entirely new to turn heads this summer.

A Watch Light on Weight and High on Design

Farer

Inspired by the historic motor races set in St Moritz Switzerland, the Farer Chronograph Sport ($1995) is a classic take on timepiece design. This retro look is now being brought to life in Grade 2 Titanium, cutting the weight of the watch by 20% and further cementing it as worthy of its spot in any collection. The Chronograph Sport Titanium comes in two distinct colorways that nod at the alpine race culture of the past. The red and off-white is distinctly sporty, and the blue and bronze is reminiscent of the mountain landscape. Farer states this is a watch built for adventure, and it’s certainly a watch we’d be happy to sport on our wrist.

This Saint Laurent Collab ROCKS

Saint Laurent

Saint Laurent have outdone themselves with this Fender Stratocaster Guitar collaboration. The monochromatic black electric guitar is eye-catching with subtle gray Saint Laurent detailing, that is very rock-star. The guitar comes with a deluxe black-velvet lined hardshell case with both brand’s logos, and at an additional cost a custom amp can be purchased as well to complete the look. Only 10 of these special guitars have been made, so if you want to get your hands on the $12,500 instrument, act fast.

The Ultimate At Home Indulgence

Ancient Ritual

This sauna isn’t your gym’s sweat lodge situation, it’s a multi-sensory experience in a sleek solo package. The Arc from Ancient Ritual features 360 full-spectrum infrared heat, dynamic mood affecting lightscapes, 2.1 surround sound, and guided meditation, breathwork and mindset training, all from the comfort of a 150 degree reclining lounge chair fully-adjustable to your relaxation preferences. The Arc will be available starting at $9995, but can be reserved by invitation only for $199. Ancient Ritual expects delivery to be in early 2024.
