ALL YOU NEED

1. FOR THE SUPER SPY
As a physical manifestation of BMW’s EfficientDynamics concept, the i8 proves that going green doesn’t have to be all work and no play. Not only does it offer a fuel economy on par with that of a small eco-car, the i8 somehow manages to boast performance levels well on par with any supercar out there. It’s no wonder it was chosen to be Tom Cruise’s erstwhile stallion in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.

2. SHOE-IN TO WIN
Who says men can’t be as ga-ga over shoes as women? The house of Berluti, founded in Paris by Alessandro Berluti in 1895, is now one of luxury goods conglomerate LVMH’s brightest stars – and with good reason. Hailed as, quite possibly, the ultimate shoes for men of the world, a pair of hand-finished Berlutis are a treasure every self-assured gent should own. The suede driving shoes are darling, but leather is where Berluti really shines. Go for a pair of classic Oxfords or loafers, although the new signature shoe of the season is the Alessio. Time to fly to Hong Kong or Singapore to check out what’s new in-store then.

3. WEEKENDER WOW
Weekend getaways and road trips in one’s super (or classic) car is always an indulgent treat. Ensure you don’t waste a moment by ensuring the packing is done speedily and stylishly. Anya Hindmarch’s gorgeous Bespoke Walton weekend bag makes travelling effortless. With its lightweight canvas shell, smart leather trims, spacious interior and separately zipped compartment, you’ll find all the room you need and everything you want at a single glance. The best about the Walton is that it can be personalised with your choice of initials, making it even easier for jetsetters to spot their bag as it lands on the carousel!

4. HEAD GEAR
OK, so you’ve got the new motorcycle. Now you just need a stylish helmet to go with it. Bell Helmets have been around for more than half a century now, and have created some excellent helmets in that time. We like the Bullitt, inspired by the very first Bell Star helmet and perfect for riders looking for a vintage look with full-face protection. It’s minimalist, gorgeous, fits perfectly, with either flat or bubble visors, and comes in a variety of colours – what else do you need?

5. POWER OF PRUSSIA
Feel the power of a king coursing through your body as you grasp Graf Von Faber-Castell’s ‘Sanssouci, Potsdam’ Pen of the Year 2015. Made in Germany with skilled craftsmen grinding and polishing the Russian quartz, this pen is available in both platinum and gold. Adorned with chrysoprase highly prized by ancient Greeks, Roman and Egyptians alike for its many great powers, this pen just might bring you good fortune along with envious stares.

6. A FORCE OF NATURE
Unveiled at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie 2015, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver presents itself in a 42mm brushed stainless steel case with a silver-toned dial decorated with a ‘Méga Tapisserie’ finishing. This timepiece is also the first member of the Offshore Diver family to boasts an open caseback to reveal the in-house automatic Calibre 3120 within. Activating the pusher at 10 o’clock operates a timing function made by the rotating internal bezel, a feature specifically designed for divers exploring the lightless depths of the oceanic abyss.

7. ROYAL PUFFS
Ever wanted to feel like the most expensive man on earth? Look no further than Gurkha’s His Majesty’s Reserve. The world’s most expensive cigar is sure to make you look like a man not to be trifled with. Comprised of a 15-year Connecticut Maduro wrapper with 12-year-old Dominican binder and filler that’s aged with one bottle of the world’s finest cognac, Louis XIII, this cigar is indeed the epitome of luxury!

8. VALET GOOD
While we can’t all of us have a personal Jeeves in our lives, the august maison of Louis Vuitton steps in to solve the problem for us. Entrez, its wonderful new Valet Nomade by Damien Langlois-Meurinne, crafted as part of Objets Nomades – a collection of travel-inspired objects by nine established and emerging designers. Never has the saying “A thing of beauty is a joy forever” rung truer. Valets, in the flesh or otherwise, included.

9. THE IRONMAN
Luxury’s no good if there’s no way of keeping it safe, and that’s where Buben & Zorweg’s Agartos Superhero Edition Mark IV steps in to save the day. Offered in a variety of customisation options that allows this vault to adopt a likeness after your favourite superhero, the Agartos comes equipped with five timepiece winders and a high-tech motion-sensor that allows owners to seamlessly access the contents of this vault with a brush of their fingertips. However, the Agartos may also be securely locked to protect the valuables within, and as expected, is as everything-proof as its superhero counterparts are against any dastardly schemes evil-doers have in store for it.

10. MOVING MACHINES
Here’s one way to make movie nights at home an unforgettable experience. The BeoVision Avant from Bang & Olufsen is an avant-garde technological masterpiece that aims to redefine home entertainment by fusing futuristic design with high-tech wizardry. At first glance, this slim television appears fairly normal until you power it up. Not only does it include hidden speakers that will automatically descend from the screen, but it can also be mounted on optional motorised stands to rotate and face almost any position for optimal viewing.  Now, where’s the truffle popcorn?

11. ON A SPIN
In case you haven’t heard, vinyl is making a big comeback. Before you lug in the LPs and 45s that have been hidden for the last few decades, you’ll probably need to rebuild your stereo system, a task, as any dedicated audiophile will tell you, is an arduous one. The British-based Rega makes some of the best turntables in the business, including this gorgeous RP6, constructed from two pieces of float glass that improves accuracy, stability and consistency. It also comes in an array of bright colours, which will definitely convince you of the merits of vinyl.

12. MADE FOR THE WIN
Golf has always been and will always be an expensive sport. But if you think today’s club fees are too high, just wait until you find out how much these golf clubs designed by venerated Japanese club-maker Honma cost. Referred to as the Five Star set, these advanced shafts comprise expensive materials such as gold and platinum. Each single club is also precisely finished, measured and balanced at the hands of a team of master takumi craftsmen before being shipped right to your doorstep. This process takes at least eight weeks to complete, which probably explains its hefty USD76,000 (RM276,000) price tag!

13. BUST GO!
The world’s oldest candlemaker needs no introduction. Established in 1643 and supplier to French royalty, Cire Trudon has survived the turbulence of history as well as the introduction of electricity! Inject a little French art and history into your surroundings with its special busts, reproduced beautifully in wax and with the Réunion des Musées Nationaux’s blessing, of storied characters from French history. The ones we adore? Marie-Antoinette and Napoléon.

14. BUBBLY GOOD
You should have at least a bottle of champagne chilling in your refrigerator at any time. You know, just in case someone special turns up unexpectedly. Or, perhaps, when you need something to celebrate with. Then again, you don’t really an excuse to pop open that bottle – champagne is perfect whenever, wherever. Krug is among the noblest of the champagne houses and, if you have space for only one bottle, make it the rosé – heaven wouldn’t taste much sweeter.

15. THE LEGEND LIVES ON
The Omega Speedmaster ‘57 has always struck a chord in the hearts of horological connoisseurs for its vintage charm, and now it’s back and better than ever with the brand’s 2015 rendition of this icon. Offered in a 41.5mm stainless steel case, the Speedmaster ‘57 retains the signature twin chronograph counter from its 2013 counterpart but now features the “Broad Arrow” style hours and minutes hands used by the original 1957 Speedmaster.

16. OCEAN DEEP
There are yachts and then there is the Superyacht Astrada, a 42.5m ocean explorer trimaran that looks as cool as it sounds. Conceptualised by Shuttleworth Design, the Astrada, which looks ready to take to the skies any time, has a superstructure built of carbon fibre and a hull of a glass/Kevlar foam sandwich. There’s room on board for nine passengers as well as quarters for the crew, luxury bathrooms, a sauna, steam bath and whirlpool. To add to its cool factor, it can be piloted with an iPad from a range of 50m.

17. AUDIO ON THE GO
Vertu might be renowned for its high-end luxury smartphones, but the new V Headphones looks just as enticing. With a heavy dose of Vertu’s iconic aesthetic present, these headphones feature an angled, ported construction built from a single bilet of lightweight aircraft-grade aluminium. Luxurious ear cushions made from high-quality memory foam in hand-stitched lamb leather offer maximum comfort and low clamp force. The headphones can also be folded flat for convenience while travelling. As for audio quality, a closed-back system has been added to offer passive noise-cancellation. The headphones have also been tuned and rigorously tested by audio specialists Bang & Olufsen to achieve a rich, deep bass with crystal clarity.

18. TO THE RESCUE
There are times when you certainly would regret leaving home without this. So, for days when the going gets tough, the tough (and well-prepared) whip out their Lifesaver hipflasks. We truly adore this Royal Selangor essential that’s a lifesaver in more ways than one.

19. SHINE BRIGHT LIKE A DIAMOND
Be prepared to have stars in your eyes with Cartier’s Ballon Bleu De Cartier Serti Vibrant watch. The French jewellery and watch house has truly outdone itself by marrying the best of both worlds. The Ballon Bleu De Cartier Serti Vibrant boasts an 18K white gold NAC-treated dial set with 123 vibrant, brilliant-cut diamonds totalling 3.46 carats which have a rippling effect to match your movements. Let your wrist dazzle with the rhodiumised 18K white gold case set with 210 brilliant-cut diamonds totalling 3.38 carats and fluted crown set with a sapphire cabochon. Diamonds are now, officially, also a man’s best friend.

20. ZIPPY RUN
The new Vespa Sprint is a flashback to the 1960s, when its legendary predecessor, the Vespino, flashed down the streets of Europe. The new incarnation maintains the vintage aesthetics – the sport saddle and signature square headlamp – but incorporates modern touches like LED lights, a multifunctional digital display and redesigned 12in aluminium alloy rims. Sure, it’s a bit much taking it on a milk run; just that you’ll look far better doing it.

21. GEAR UP
Whether it’s travelling for business or pleasure, you simply can’t go wrong with picking from Tumi’s amazing range of highly functional luggage options. If you happen to be planning for a weekend adventure that tackles the great outdoors, you’ll definitely want to have the Ridley Roll Top Backpack as your travelling companion. Sleek, stylish and durable, the backpack also comes fitted with its own unique tracer for making luggage recovery less of a hassle.

22. LAY ME DOWN
This is the living room centrepiece you didn’t know you’ve been waiting for. Unveiled at the recent Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan, this fantastical carpet, designed by Maison Christian Lacroix for Moooi, is an invitation to both stretch out as well as let your mind wander through the stunningly realistic images. Using the revolutionary Chromojet high-definition printer, the Jewels Garden simmers with vibrant images of colourful flowers and glittering gems. An icon in the making, this conversation piece is the perfect backdrop if you ever decide to enact Scheherazade’s The Arabian Nights.

23. ACE IT 
Cards, if accompanied by a good cigar, friends and shots of delicious single malt, are always a good idea. Jack up the luxe factor a little with Tiffany & Co’s set of stylish playing cards, complete with ‘Dealer’ button in sterling silver. Poker never looked so posh!

24. IN SYNC
If the sleek design of your Samsung Galaxy S6 alone wasn’t enough, then the Montblanc Samsung Galaxy S6 Flip Side cover is the perfect partner to your snazzy gadget. It’s the perfect marriage of cutting edge technology and sophisticated luxury. Combining high performance and classic elegance in sophisticated black leather, it makes gadgetry rather gorgeous.

25. LORD OF THE SKIES
As expected of a timepiece engineered for military pilots who defy death on a day-to-day basis, Bell & Ross’ new BR03-92 Military Type offers a no-nonsense air of a timekeeping instrument built to withstand the harsh rigours demanded of it. Similar in appearance to the BR03 Ceramic, the new BR03-92 Military Type makes use of a 42mm nigh indestructible ceramic case fitted on a heavy-duty canvas strap.

26. CREAM OF THE CROP
You really can’t go wrong with a Breguet on your wrist; after all, the brand’s founding father was Abraham-Louis Breguet, inventor of the venerable tourbillon itself. So treat yourself to something special this year with the new Tradition Automatique Seconde Rétrograde 7097, a timepiece that brings together the best of the past and future of horology under one roof. Presented in a classically styled 40mm 18K white gold case, this timepiece features an open worked dial that offers a captivating view of the inner workings of the movement alongside a retrograde seconds function, and is furnished with an industrial-styled guilloché finishing that goes to show that tradition is not a byword for “old-fashioned”.

27. THE EXTREME      
With less than 40 FXX K’s being produced worldwide, if you’re only hearing about it now, then it’s probably too late to get one. Like the rest of the Prancing Horse’s XX cars, the non-road legal FXX K is available to only the brand’s closest clients for a hefty price tag of USD3million that includes two years of Ferrari’s exclusive Corsa Clienti service. While Ferrari continues to keep its exact specifications under lock and key, it will tell you the FXX K is its first-ever car to boast over 1,000hp (1,036hp to be exact) and can lap its private Fiorano track in just one minute and 14 seconds, five seconds quicker than the legendary LaFerrari.

28. SPIRIT WITH SOUL
With upwards of 300 years in the distilling business, the Martell dynasty has certainly had plenty of time to perfect its craft. To celebrate its Tricentenaire, the cognac house decided to pay homage to its roots by retracing the footsteps of its founder, Jean Martell. This discovery lead to the creation of the Premier Voyage, a limited edition concoction blended using 18 rare eaux de vie. Housed in an impressive decanter designed by world-renowned French conceptual artist, Bernar Venet, each blend also comes with a special pipette similar to the ones used by the Cellar Master to extract and taste the eaux de vie from the aged barrels.

29. THE NEW CLASSIC   
With its Swiss good looks and high-tech functions, the Horological Smartwatch by Frederique Constant makes keeping track of your daily activities a breeze, even when you’re asleep. Hidden away behind its classic analogue face is a patented sensor-fusion engine, which can be synched via a handy smartphone app to bring up a detailed analysis of your movement and sleeping patterns. Available in silver or rose gold-plated with a variety of classic straps, this is one smart watch that certainly won’t stick out like a sore thumb if you decide to pair it with a dashing tuxedo.

30. HOT STUFF 
It takes a unique kind of individual to be willing to splurge USD17,000 on a backyard grill, but if you’re serious about grilling your way to greatness, only the Kalamazoo Hybrid Fire Grill will suffice. The secret behind the design: an innovative dual-fuel system combined with H-shaped ‘Dragon Burners’ to create optimal heat, taste and convenience. Each heavy-duty grill is hand-assembled by a team of dedicated craftsmen in Kalamazoo, Michigan before it is shipped directly to homes all across the globe.

31. AUTOMATON DOMINATION  
Have no fear as Melchior is here! A childhood fantasy brought to life, this creative project happens to be a new collaboration between MB&F and Swiss clock manufacturer, L’Epée 1839. Featuring a total of 480 components, the regulator of Melchior is observable via the polished glass dome cover on its head, while the jumping hours and sweeping minutes are displayed via discs placed on his chest. With enough power to last an impressive 40 days, this mesmerising horological wonder also comes fully equipped with pose-able arms and a removable Gatling gun, which serves as the winding mechanism for the movement.

32. SUITS YOU
Cut a sharp figure in quite possibly the most versatile suit you’ll ever own. Hackett London’s Prince of Wales checked suit (we adore the grey double-breasted version in wool) will keep you looking smart and stylish – day or night, from strolling Old Bond Street to commanding the boardroom. Sartorial tip? Wear it with snazzy shoes and a bright pocket square to rival even Brit menswear icon HRH Prince Charles’ famously snappy style.

33. PRESIDENTIAL WEAR
There are few horological entities that can convey the sense of regal elegance and indomitable solidarity as well as a Rolex Day-Date, also known as the ‘President’s Watch’ for its frequent use by world leaders. First created in 1956, Rolex revisits the venerable timepiece this year with four new editions of the Day-Date; in Everose gold, 950 platinum, and 18K white and yellow gold, each with its own unique dial motifs etched out by high-tech laser treatment. Beating within the 40mm case is Rolex’s in-house calibre 3255, which offers a patented blue Parachrom hairspring that is 10 times more precise than a traditional hairspring.

34. SALUT IN STYLE   
The sheer glamour of Hermès’ Club Bar beggars belief. Crafted from a variety of matériaux nobles, like ebony-finished pear wood, graphite Porosus crocodile skin and ebony Bosphore horsehair, it’s quite possibly the only way – now that you’ve cast your eyes on it – to display your crystal stemware, precious decanters and shiny champagne buckets. For gentlemen who appreciate enlightenment, the Club Bar also lights up with LEDs, which are built into the shelves. The Club Bar isn’t designed for travelling but it can niftily move from room to room. Ideal for those who like diversification.

35. LIGHT CRUSADER
First revealed during the 85th Geneva Motor Show, the Audi Sport Racing Bike developed by the Audi Konzept Design Studio in Munich also happens to be the first-ever technologically advanced carbon racing bike released by the German car maker. A closer look at its sleek features reveals just how heavily inspired it was by the company’s sports car line-up. Available in five sizes and as a complete build only, the 5.8kg bike will be a rarity indeed. Only 50 units will ever be made and each will cost an eye-watering EUR17,500 (nearly MYR70,000).

36. WRIST-TAKER     
There’s a new army of wrist-takers in town and they are all wearing Bowerhaus’ The Bobby. Inspired by The Peak’s very own January cover boy, Sarawakian entrepreneur Bobby Ting, the collection is designed to be worn stacked with your wristwatch or as a spiffy separate. The most popular design in the collection is the Bobby Wrap, which features several small stones including black matte onyx, hematite and tiger’s eye. Customisation is also available if you order online.

37. INNER BEAUTY        
Beauty is not merely skin deep. Be mesmerised by the clockwork of the Oris Arterlier Transluscent Skeleton. The translucent face and dial lets you appreciate the inner beauty of this finely made Swiss watch. Encased in a stainless steel case with straps available in leather and stainless steel, this watch is handsome both inside and out.

38. LOVE BOAT
Well, maybe a superyacht is a little too big for your needs. Downsizing need not be painful, especially if the next best thing is Riva’s Aquariva Super. The Forli, Italy-based company has had a storied history where luxury boats are concerned, and the 33ft Aquariva Super is symbolic of Riva’s elegance and style – soft, sinuous lines, beautifully carved wooden decks of mahogany inlaid with maple, and leather trimmings on the dashboard and helm. Make no mistake, this is as classic and romantic as you’ll ever get to floating on water.

39. EYE IN THE SKY
With the DJI Phantom 2 Vision quadcopter, you’ll get views and pictures from a whole new perspective. The integrated high end camera, with a 140° wide-angle field-of-view takes high-resolution still images as well as video. It connects to your mobile phone through WiFI for distances of up to 300m and weighs less than 1.2kg. Your Instagram account is not going to be the same anymore.

40. SCENT OF A MAN
We all want to smell nice but it can be a challenge finding the right scent. It’ll be worth your while, however, to check out the myriad offerings of Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle.

Eau de Magnolia, Vetiver Extraordinaire, Carnal Flower and the suggestively named French Lover. Available at Malmaison by The Hour Glass in Singapore, unless you’re flying to Paris anytime soon.

Limited to just 99 pieces and available only in Panerai’s historic Florence Boutique, the Radiomir Firenze 3 Days Acciaio presents itself in a behemoth 47mm case that is entirely hand-decorated by a master Italian engraver. These Art Deco motifs are inspired by traditional Florentine iconography and draw their likeness from the Florentine lily and marble facades of the city’s grand cathedrals.

44. FORM MEETS FUNCTION
A perfect addition to any discerning music lover’s home, the origins of the Model D by Steinway Lyngdorf was based on a challenge to create an all-digital audio system that could perfectly reproduce the live sound of a concert grand piano. Each luxurious audio set comes complete with a black lacquer paint job and luxurious finishing, although other customised finishes are also available on request, for the right price.

45. THE GENTLEMEN’S CHOICE

Larger, more sophisticated and opulent than any other S-Class in existence, the S600 seamlessly bridges the universes of old-world charm with contemporary luxury under one roof. From its buttery hand-stitched Nappa leather interior to the 24-speaker Burmester 3D audio system and omnipotent atmospheric control Air-Balance system, it’s safe to say this car has it all. And in case you were wondering, it can still go from zero to 100km/h in just five seconds and hit a top speed of 250km/h. Not bad, we say, not bad at all.

50. TOP OF THE WORLD
Bell Helicopter celebrates its 80th anniversary this year, perfecting what it calls ‘the leading edge of vertical lift’. The Fort Worth, Texas-based manufacturer’s 525 Relentless was initially designed for offshore oil operations. However, it also comes in luxurious cabin interior options that see the 88 sq ft space, which sits up to 12, decked out with technology and entertainment niceties. It works as a mobile conference space for the CEO-on-the-go, or even as a convenient – and private – way to take the family for a shopping trip down to Singapore.
