The best gear in the world right now, from Vacheron Constantin's Fifty-Six Self-Winding mechanism to Sunspel's ultimate boxer shorts
Each week we present to you some of the best gear on the planet. Whether it's Porsche's 911 Carerra S or a pair of Sunspel boxer shorts that do more for your body than most, these are the products that you need to shake up your lifestyle for the better...
Porsche 911 Carerra S
If you're after a Carrera, then the new Carrera S might just be for you. Though it takes its look from the classic Carrera, the new Porsche takes its design from the old Turbo. It has bigger brakes, which come from the new generation Carrera GTS, Carrera S wheels, and a standard fit ‘Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus’ (PTV+) system. Throughout the car, leather details make it worth the buck.
Vacheron-Constantin Fifty-Six self-winding
With its retro-contemporary look, Vacheron-Constantin's Fifty-Six self-winding timepiece takes inspiration from watches from the 1950s. The black dial is paired up with a 18K 5N pink gold case and features a nubuck calfskin-leather strap. Visible through the sapphire back, its self-winding mechanical movement displays a Vacheron-Constantin Côtes de Genève finishing and an oscillating cross-shaped weight in 22K pink gold.
Sunspel boxer shorts
Sunspel introduced the boxer short to Britain in 1947, when John Hill, the great-grandson of Sunspel's founder, brought the design back from the United States after discovering them on his honeymoon. Ever since, they've been the best in the business, cut from 100 per cent long-staple fine cotton, ensuring unrivalled lightness and comfort.
Cheaney Brixton M Apron Derby Boot
Northamptonshire-based Cheaney's Brixton boots are inspired by the timeless design of apron work boots, which carried an apron stitch around the top of the shoe. These feature supple brown nubuck grain and robust Vibram Mirto rubber soles, providing traction, but never skimping on style.
KESTIN Dunbar Padded Jacket
Kestin's Dunbar Padded Jacket is made from a shell of 100 per cent Recycled Nylon which has been finished with a Pfc-free DWR treatment for added weather-resistance. It's the ultimate spring jacket, whether it be for commute or hike, and is insulated with a Recycled Synthetic Down.
Rado Anatom Automatic
Debuted in 1983, the instantly recognisable Rado Anatom features a signature cylindrical metallised sapphire crystal with bevelled edges on both sides, that then merges the case and bracelet into a unified, cohesive shape. Polished black high-tech ceramic links and polished yellow gold coloured PVD coated stainless steel middle links make up the bracelet, while on the dial there are yellow gold-coloured applied hands and indexes with coated white Super-LumiNova.
Eton Fine Striped Twill Shirt
Cut from Egyptian Giza 86 long staple cotton, made in a mill in Egypt, Eton's shirt has been woven in parallel diagonal ribs for drapability and durability, ensuring that it's built to last. The beauty of an Eton shirt is that each can be worn informally with an open collar or office-ready with a neck tie.
Almave Blanco
If you're still doing dry January (good on you!) and haven't crumbled at the sight of your first tipple, and plan to go on, then Almave Blanco might be something that captures your taste buds. The brainchild of seven-time Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton, this character-filled non-alcoholic spirit uses pure blue agave flavour, and has a herbaceous, fresh taste.

Ana Combo Fitness Equipment Set, a carefully curated collection designed to address a wide range of fitness requirements.
