Editor’s Picks: Royal Enfield’s latest, a luxury Coffee Grinder and Princess’ R Class sports yacht
From a sleek sports yacht with room to entertain, to the comfiest jumper we’ve set our sights on for winter, this is what we want this week…
Words: Jonathan Wells
With September in full swing, everyone’s back behind their desks after a hot summer break. And, whether you need a smooth coffee to kickstart your day, a smartphone to supercharge your schedule or a suitcase worthy of your next business trip, we’ve got you covered…
Push your buttons: iPhone XS
It may now be an annual event, but that doesn’t make it any less exciting. So ready your pavement tents and folding chairs, it’s almost time to queue up outside the Apple store for the latest iPhone. This time around, expect dual-SIM support, a Dolby Vision display and a 12 megapixel camera.
Sleep tight: Turnbull & Asser Blue Brush Stripe Pyjamas
A true gentleman, as we all know, wears pyjamas. They show class, care and a taste for the finer things. Turnbull & Asser’s Sea Island Quality set is the ultimate indulgence — cast in a soft blue colourway and cut in a soft brushed cotton.
Pack up: Globe-Trotter ‘Toscana’ Trolley Case
Every jet-setting gent should have a medium sized case for trips of a a week or less. This latest collection from Globe-Trotter, complete with two internal straps, an extendable handle and 75 litre capacity, is a piece of carry on with class — and will prove a perfect travel companion on your next journey.
Dive in: Tissot Seastar 100 Powermatic 80
This blue-dialled offering from Tissot is the automatic choice for divers. With a high water-resistance up to a pressure of 30 bar, screw-down crown and unidirectional ceramic bezel, the Tissot Seastar 1000 is a great diving watch for under £1,000 — and now benefits from the energy of the Powermatic 80 movement.
Start your engines: Princess R35
The first Princess R Class performance sports yacht, with an impressive speed range of 45 – 50 knots, this is a boat to notice. Stunningly designed — Pininfarina had a hand — it’s that rarest of beasts: A sports yacht with room to entertain on board.
Get to work: Boita Bag
An exciting new crowd-funded piece of luggage, the Boita bag is eco-conscious, manufactured to the highest ethical standards and the perfect accessory to take to work. It transforms from a commute-friendly backpack to a boardroom-ready briefcase in seconds — saving you those all-important minutes in your day.
Jump to it: Kent & Curwen Fair Isle Sweater
Winter is coming — and don’t heritage label Kent & Curwen know it. This year, they’ve reinvented the classic Fair Isle sweater with this patchwork iteration of the classic look. Somehow, this manages to be at once loud and understated. It’s a look we really like — and it looks damn cosy, too.
Daily grind: Kanso Coffee HIKU Coffee Grinder
If you like your coffee a certain way, then this new premium hand coffee grinder is a must-have. Precision-engineered for the discerning coffee enthusiast, it’s equipped with a Kanso-designed 41mm burrset that is made of hardened, machined stainless steel to ensure you’ll enjoy the smoothest cup possible.
Game on: Royal Salute 21 Year Old Beach Polo Edition
Inspired by the lingering bonfires, evocative salty winds and warm seaside air synonymous with the sport of beach polo, this limited edition from the storied whisky brand features a tantalising smoky flavour with soft peaty tones, rich fruits and sweet honey. A perfect tipple post-game.
Kick start: Royal Enfield Interceptor
Ushering in the idea of 1960s fun, this Royal Enfield may be thoroughly British, but it will take you to the sun-drenched beaches of California. Easy-going and versatile, it is the perfect roadster and ergonomic enough to ride in the city as it is to tear up a coastal freeway. We can’t wait to hop on.
Seeing clear: Cutler And Gross Dark Turtle Spectacles
There’s nothing like a bold pair of spectacles to make an impression in the boardroom. Slip these stylish frames on — with a straight browline for impact and interior milling for comfort — and you’ll be commanding the meeting before you know it.
