Both models are also predicted to arrive with titanium edges (in place of stainless steel) and a 3-nanometer chip. Additionally, some expect the phone to swap out its lighting charger in favor of a USB-C port, while rumors of a possible iPhone Ultra have begun to circulate.

Vulcain Re-Released the Cricket Nautical

In 1947, Vulcain introduced the very first wristwatch with an alarm complication. Fast forward to 1961, and the brand had equipped its Cricket Nautical dive watch with an aquatic alarm, that used the same technology to warn divers when it was time to head back up to the surface. Now, to celebrate the watch’s 60th anniversary, Vulcain has released another updated version of the Cricket Nautical ($4,862). At 42mm, it’s available in two versions, both powered by the Vulcain Cricket Manufacture V-10 caliber.

No matter where you’re headed, bring the Garment Duffel ($98) with you. The new release from Bespoke Post’s Halfday combines the convenience of a garment bag with the packability of a traditional duffel. The ‘shapeshifter of a bag’ allows the user to zip up a full suit (or dress, shirts or pants) and then layer in folded clothes. From there, fans can tuck a pair of shoes into additional interior pockets; and find smart zippered pockets on the (48 liter) bag’s exterior.

A Tangy Spice for Every Snack and Recipe

Made with a blend of chiles, sea salt, black garlic and dried green mango; the umami-rich spice packs the perfect spicy-sour punch. Fans can stock up by pairing a jar with the brand’s Gochugaru Chile Flakes ($8) or Toasted Sesame Seeds ($5) — and find a long list of other specialty spices on the brand’s shop all page.
