Editor’s Picks: 007 Cocktail Case, Huntsman Aftershave and Triumph Tiger Motorcycle
From a Vacheron Constantin inspired by Everest to a new pair of suede boots from Crockett & Jones, this is what we want this week…
Words: Jonathan Wells
Next week, after almost two years of waiting, No Time To Die will finally debut in cinemas. And, for this week’s Editor’s Picks, we’ve decided to raise a celebratory (Martini) glass to the occasion. We’ve revved up a new limited edition Triumph Tiger motorcycle, slipped into a trimly tailored Anthony Sinclair suit and even poured our own shaken-not-stirred cocktail using a Dukes Bar-approved vodka and Connolly drinks case. Take a look below…
Moving mountains: Vacheron Constantin Overseas ‘Everest’ Chronograph
In 2019, explorer and photographer Cory Richards conquered Everest with a Vacheron Constantin prototype buckled around his wrist. Today, the Swiss brand launch this 150-piece limited edition ‘Everest’ chronograph; a trusty titanium tool watch with a bead-blasted bezel, bright orange accents and twin-barrel, in-house movement.
Time to ride: Triumph Tiger 900 ‘Bond Edition’ Motorcycle
Another limited edition, only 250 examples of Triumph’s new Tiger 900 ‘Bond Edition’ will roll off the production line. Inspired by the motorcycles that feature in No Time To Die, each numbered bike features matt black paint, premium embroidered heated seats and a bespoke 007 start-up animation on the 7-inch screen.
Following suit: Anthony Sinclair Three-Piece ‘Goldfinger’ Suit
When Sean Connery became James Bond, Dr. No director Terence Young escorted the actor around Mayfair to whip him into superspy shape. Among the appointments was a stop at Anthony Sinclair; Young’s tailor. This re-issued suit from Sinclair brings back the ‘Conduit Cut’ — a natural shoulder, roped sleeve head and suppressed waist design that Connery’s Bond wore throughout his six official Bond films.
Spritz in style: Jo Malone X Huntsman Trousseau Collection
Stowed in a tartan-lined box, Jo Malone’s collaboration with Huntsman is the perfect way to spritz your way into autumn. Daring, intriguing and sharply -dressed, this quartet of bottles — with fragrances including ‘Whisky & Cedarwood’ and ‘Birch & Black Pepper’ — is as masculine and distinctive as colognes come.
Turn it up: Brionvega WEARiT Bluetooth Speaker
Buzzing with retro style, this modern Bluetooth speaker from Italian brand Brionvega is a vintage-tinged treat. Thanks to an elegant leather strap, you can sling it over your shoulder on your bicycle, at the beach or by the pool — and make full use of its dual-speakers, 24-hour play time, hands-free speakerphone function and in-built power bank.
Lace up: Crockett & Jones Coniston Boots in Slate Suede
The British shoemaker has been busy. Not only did Crockett & Jones outfit 007 once again for No Time To Die, the brand has also launched its AW21 collection. The star style is surely this; a slate suede spin on the classic Coniston boot. With storm welts for water resistance and reinforced toe cap, who said suede wasn’t for winter?
Shaken, not stirred: Konik’s Tail Vodka
Konik’s Tail is served in some of the best bars in the world — including Dukes, where Ian Fleming used to drink, and allegedly came up with the enduring recipe for 007’s very own ‘Vesper Martini’. Small-batch and blended with spelt, rye and wheat grains, it has delectable notes of vanilla, black pepper and butterscotch.
Take-off: Rolls-Royce 'Spirit of Innovation’ Electric Plane
This week, Rolls-Royce’s all-electric aircraft took to the skies for the first time. The ‘Spirit of Innovation’ is a sleek silver glimpse at the future of air travel; with a complete electric propulsion system, 300mph top speed and thoroughly British, ‘Red, White & Blue’ livery.
Top glass: Connolly X 007 Cocktail Case
Created to celebrate Connolly’s involvement in No Time To Die, this suave cocktail case is upholstered in the same Connolly ‘Vaumol’ leather than lines Bond’s Aston Martin DB5. With a pair of glasses, cocktail shaker, metal cocktail sticks, two flasks and a pair of screw-top tins, it’s everything you need to make a Martini on the move.
Safety first: Hedon 'Tux' Motorcycle Helmet
It may be a little different to the ‘Tux’ 007 will button up in No Time To Die next week, but Bond’s dinner jacket still shares some key style touches with Hedon’s latest helmet. Bringing together black and white in one striking, statement package, the highlight of this new model is its double-lensed, retro-coloured, anti-fog shade.
