Mission Workshop Meridian
As a commuter-focused EDC brand, Mission Workshop uniquely understands the rigors of travel and the kinds of gear that make it easier. This backpack is among the brand’s best, marked by an exceptionally lightweight waterproof fabric, some handy travel-friendly features (like a luggage pass-through) and a modular construction. You can buy the backpack on its own or as part of a kit with modular attachments (or you can mix and match), making this an exceptionally customizable carry option.

Meze Audio 105 Silva
The 105 Silva is the newest addition to the Romanian hi-fi maker’s 105 range, combining beautiful design, high-fidelity sound, and modern versatility (thanks to a low impedance, they are easy to drive and you can use them with your smartphone or laptop.) The Silvas are open-back wired headphones with 50mm dynamic drivers and walnut earcups. According to the brand, they marry the sound of Meze’s higher-end 109 PRO ($799) with the versatility of its 105 AER ($399).

Bulgari Octo Finissimo Perpetual Calendar Rose Gold
Although Bulgari doesn’t currently own the title of the world’s thinnest watch, with the Konstantin Thinking stealing the crown in 2024 from the brand’s Octo Finissimo Ultra COSC, it’s still the industry leader in the niche category of ultrathin mechanical watches. The brand’s Octo Finissimo line has broken 10 world records for thinness in 11 years, and the remarkable Octo Finissimo Perpetual Calendar still reigns as the world’s thinnest perpetual calendar. Originally released in titanium and later in carbon and tantalum, Bulgari has now crafted the watch from solid 18k rose gold, adding some luxurious heft while maintaining the complicated watch’s impossibly thin profile of 5.8mm. It retails for €98,000 (~$115,000).

2026 Toyota Sequoia
As the full-size SUV of the Toyota lineup, the Sequoia combines the family-hauling convenience of three-row seating with the off-road toughness of the Tundra pickup. For the 2026 update, the model introduces a Wave Maker TRD Pro colorway, and it also adds luxurious interior options, like new Capstone upholstery and massaging front seats as standard.

2025 Bourbon County Brand Original Stout
A new year, a new lineup of stouts from the Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Family. Only this time, the most interesting one might be the original, which moves to a new format for the first time in decades: 10-ounce four-packs that encourage side-by-side tastings with the others. Those include the Double Barrel Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond Stout and another inspired by the tasting notes of baklava. The full lineup will be available this fall.
