2019 Jaguar XJ50 Sedan

2018 marks the 50th year of production for Jaguar's iconic XJ-series sedan. Introduced in 1968, the XJ's innovative aluminum monocoque chassis, independent rear suspension, and eventual V12 marked it as one of the first sports sedans in the world. Jaguar continues that philosophy, commemorating the anniversary with the limited-edition XJ50. The XJ50 features exclusive front and rear bumpers and 20-inch wheels, with illuminated treadplates and a white diamond-stitched interior. A choice of supercharged three-liter V6 or five-liter V8 engines are offered, paying homage to the performance roots of the original.

Leica X-U Camera

All of Leica's cameras are somewhat rugged, but only the Leica X-U was built to thrive in the elements — including underwater. This is evidenced by the dedicated "UW" mode that adjusts the white balance and activates distortion correction for the conditions, and the flash that's placed as close as possible to the subject. Overall, the body is waterproof to 50 feet, in part thanks to a fixed lens, sealed aluminum top plate, and grippy TPE coating. Otherwise, the camera is still recognizable as a Leica, with all the manual controls you'd expect, a reassuring heft, and a slight influence from Audi Design, who collaborated on the project.

Rolls-Royce Adamas Collection Wraith & Dawn

Based on the Black Badge models and inspired by their name — which means "untameable," "invincible," and "diamond," according to the company — the Rolls-Royce Adamas Collection Wraith and Dawn are the flagship versions of the respective coupe and convertible. The Spirit of Ecstasy ornaments are made from 294 layers of aerospace grade carbon fiber, take 68 hours to produce, and set on a darkened titanium base. The two available colors — Aphrodite Red and Morpheus Blue — sit atop black bases, creating a two-tone look. Black grille vanes complete the exterior changes, while the interior is highlighted by a clock featuring a Black Badge infinity symbol encrusted with 88 black diamonds. It's mounted on a carbon fiber back plate, and carbon/diamond motif is continued in the starlight headliner, which features 1,340 individual fiber optic lights configured in a way that recalls the molecular structure of carbon as it becomes a diamond. Limited to just 40 Wraiths and 30 Dawns.

Pollution Pods

Get acquainted with pollution from around the world in the latest installation from Michael Pinksy. Located at London's Somerset House, the artist recreated environments from some of the most contaminated cities on the globe throughout five geodesic domes. The first pod simulates the pure, crisp air of Tautra island in Norway. As guests travel through the exhibit, the atmospheres change, replicating the tainted conditions found in London, New Delhi, Beijing, and São Paulo. He even went as far as to duplicate hazy smogs and the scent of Living Diesel. The Pollution Pods were commissioned by Norwegian University of Science and Technology in an effort to raise awareness about climate change.

MWC Kampfschwimmer Military Dive Watch

The Kampfschwimmers (Combat Swimmers) of the 1950's were a German special-purpose commando force outfitted with heavy-duty diving watches that inspired this MWC re-creation. The watch case is available in tough, stainless steel or in a more covert black matte finish that undergoes a PVD process which alters the steel to ensure it won't deteriorate over time. Both choices boast a classic black North American pattern dial with an inner ring to mark 24-hour time and are powered by automatic movements with hacking function for synchronization. The watch also includes additional crown protection, a thick bezel design for an easier grip, and is finished with a larger than normal 24mm black NATO strap.

Wye River Container House

Perched on a hillside overlooking the ocean, the Wye River Container House is an off-grid retreat on Australia's Surf Coast. The home is made up of three 20-foot containers sitting on a foundation of stilts. A pair of the units forms the main living space while the remaining volume houses two bedrooms. Their exterior is clad in a dark galvanized steel. Fitted with planting wires and a grass roof, the facade blends into the surrounding forest landscape. Internally, marine plywood gives the interior a minimal but warm aesthetic. Glazing in the rear opens out to a south-facing deck affording views of the nearby sea.

1968 Porsche 908 Works Short-Tail Coupe

The Porsche 908 is the car that would start Porsche's endurance racing dominance that continues to this day. Only 31 were ever made, and any time one comes up for sale, it's significant. This 908 was raced at the Spa 1000KM in 1968 and ran off the track into a telephone pole in the rain. The car was sent back to the factory before being sold to a Swiss collector, and eventually made it Portland, Oregon, where it's been fully restored and is vintage racing ready. And there's another added bonus for owning this 908 — you'll be eligible to join the biggest vintage Porsche gathering, Rennsport Reunion.
