AdornA

For Dress: Chopard- L.U.C XPS Designed and produced entirely by Chopard, the L.U.C XPS is the perfect dress watch: thin, elegant and equipped with a Chopard-manufactured movement. “L.U.C” stands for Louis-Ulysse Chopard, the company’s founder, and XPS is a certi�ed chronometer, the standard in precision.

Price: $16,780Contact: Anja Vacca, 212.223.2304, chopard.com

For Action: Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon Black The �rst Ball watch to use black diamond-like-carbon coating, this timepiece has all the attributes of a Ball (tough and shock-resistant; luminous through the use of gas tubes that do not need to be charged by light; COSC-certi�ed precision) in sporty yet classic styling. This is the watch favored by Alex Honnold, the world’s premiere rock climber.

Price: $4,499Contact: Wes Burke, 727.896.4278, ballwatch.com

For Travel: Louis Vuitton eVolution GMT Chronograph This new offering from Louis Vuitton combines the two complications most helpful for travel: a GMT, which displays a second time zone, and a chronograph, which combines a stop watch with a display watch. Using the Tambour case, reinterpreted for men at 45mm, this timepiece comes in steel or pink gold.

Price: $11,000 (steel), $43,500 (pink gold)Contact: Mike Jones, 212.758.8877, louisvuitton.com

For Work: Carl F. Bucherer–Patravi ChronoDateThe Patravi ChronoDate has a big date display to keep you on schedule, and the chronograph helps to time daily tasks. You can read the highly legible time at a glance, and because the Patravi ChronoDate is not the watch everyone else is wearing, it adds a touch of individuality.

1Arturo Fuente Gran AniverXario Destino al Siglo and Hublot King Power Arturo Fuente The Arturo Fuente Gran AniverXario Destino al Siglo uses a Havana-seed wrapper grown under sunlight at the legendary Chateau de la Fuente tobacco farm in the Dominican Republic; it comes packaged in an ornate box resembling a hardcover book. While you’re savoring this smoke, keep track of the time with a special wristwatch, Hublot’s King Power Arturo Fuente, a limited-edition timepiece that combines Hublot’s proprietary King Gold case with a matte brown dial and leather strap, evoking the appearance of a cigar. The watch contains an automatic chronograph movement and features Fuente’s Opus X logo on a subdial.

2Davidoff Nicaragua and Davidoff XO Cognac For the �rst time since moving its operations, in 1991, from Cuba to the Dominican Republic, Davidoff has released a premium cigar made solely with tobacco from Nicaragua. The Davidoff Nicaragua, packaged in sleek, black tubes, is a departure from the brand’s mellower white-label cigars, combining a 10-year-aged Havana-seed wrapper with a binder and �ller blend from all of the Central American country’s major growing regions—Jalapa, Condega, Estelí and Ometepe—for an intensely rich, peppery pro�le. Pair the new cigar with a snifter of Davidoff XO Cognac, a complex, caramel-colored brandy produced for Davidoff by Thomas Hine & Co. The spirit has a silky mouthfeel and notes of clove, honey and dried fruits.

Suggested Retail Price: $10 to $17 (cigar); $220 (700ml bottle of cognac)

Contact: davidoff.com (cigars); zinodavidoff.com (cognac)

3Montecristo Monte and Montecristo Rum

Dominican-made Montecristo cigars are considered fairly mild, but fans of more full-bodied smokes now have an option in the new Montecristo Monte, which achieves its spicier, more robust �avor with the unconventional use of two binder leaves (most cigars use only one)—Dominican Olor and Nicaraguan Corojo. Topping off the complex blend: an aromatic wrapper from Ecuador-grown Havana seeds and aged Dominican �ller. Enjoy one of these with a glass of Montecristo Rum, made in Guatemala using blended spirits from 12 to 23 years old. Aged in American oak barrels previously used for bourbon, the rum has �avors of molasses and vanilla.

Suggested Retail Price: $8.50 to $9.50 (cigar); $35 (750ml bottle of rum)

3Krug Rosé ChampagneThis light-pink Champagne, created from wines of three grape varieties and several vintages, is left to rest in Krug’s cellars for at least �ve years before it can be enjoyed. Its most prominent �avor notes are honey, citrus and dried fruit. Suggested food pairings include foie gras, lamb, game and spicy dishes.

Suggested Retail Price: $330 per 750ml bottleContact: krug.com/en/ store-locator

2The Balvenie Tun 1401: Batch 9This batch of single malt was made of whiskies selected from 11 traditional casks and three sherry butts by Balvenie’s malt master, David Stewart. The combined liquids were then left to marry for several months in Tun 1401, a vessel at the distillery. Stewart describes the whisky as tasting “of opulent sherried fruitiness and mature oak tannins balanced with hints of honey and dark chocolate.”

Suggested Retail Price: $250 per 750ml bottleContact: us.thebalvenie.com

1Cloudy Bay 2013 Sauvignon BlancThis fresh white wine is made from grapes grown in New Zealand’s Wairau Valley. Prominent �avors include ripe citrus, stone fruit and mineral notes. The complete harvest time of this wine was relatively quick, lasting just two weeks, so the fruit had a longer hang-time, resulting in more developed �avors.

7Glenmorangie Pride 1981A 28-year-old single malt, this whisky was released in a limited run of 1,000 bottles—actually Baccarat crystal decanters housed in wooden cases designed by the Dutch artist Wouter Scheublin. Bottled at 113.4 percent cask strength and nonchill-�ltered, the whisky tastes of exotic fruits and spices and has a long and complex �nish.

8Antica Terra 2011 Aurata ChardonnayAntica Terra’s vineyard covers 11 acres in the Eola-Amity Hills of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, where the soil is unusually rocky, forcing the vines to struggle through a mix of sandstone and fossilized oyster shells, and yielding a more concentrated �avor. Named for the golden, metallic glow of a Cetonia aurata beetle, this big wine goes well with hearty food.

1Rolls-Royce WraithFrugal-minded car fans might chuckle, but those who know the pleasure of owning the best will take note: The fastback, coach-doored Wraith, aside from being the most rakish Rolls in many years, is the sportiest and most technically advanced in the company’s storied history. This opulent coupe wafts on 624 horsepower from a 6.6-liter, twin-turbo V-12. GPS navigation data helps pre-select gears—it actually knows when a steep hill is on the horizon—and the cabin’s bespoke offerings include open-grained wood.

2Chevrolet Corvette StingrayIt reads like the stuff of a $100,000 or even $200,000 sports car: an aluminum chassis, carbon composite hood and roof, and road-sensing magnetic suspension. Add to that a zero-to-60 mph blast in less than four seconds and a top speed beyond 190 mph. Yet the reborn, Ferrari-baiting Stingray starts at around 50 grand. The price isn’t the only value proposition that reads like a misprint: The lightweight Corvette, whose 455-horsepower V-8 shuts down half its cylinders to save fuel, delivers up to 30 highway mpg.

3BMW i3BMW’s tall-roofed hatchback EV combines a petite exterior footprint with a surprisingly roomy cabin and sprightly performance. With its aerospace-style carbon-�ber structure, this 170-horsepower city car checks in at barely 2,700 pounds even with the lithium-ion battery sandwiched below the �oor. An optional, tiny 34-hp gas engine about doubles the BMW’s 80-to-100 mile driving range. Sustainability extends to more than fuel savings; the interior features responsibly sourced wood, recycled materials and leather tanned with olive leaves.

4Honda Accord HybridIn a fantasy of the best possible car value, it would be hard to top a Honda Accord—that perennial blue-chip family sedan—that had mileage akin to a Toyota Prius. Now it’s real: The Accord Hybrid offers 50 mpg in the city, besting every other four-door sedan in America, and 45 mpg on the highway. Though the Accord is quiet and comfy as a passing cloud and stuffed with technology and safety features, Honda holds its base price below $30,000.
