Mikkeli Wave House

Taking design cues from boats and airplanes, the Mikkeli Wave House completely reimagines the classic log home. A mixture of wood and steel form a unique curved design. The front elevation is clad in Finnish spruce while the rear opens up to the landscape with a glass facade. Exposed logs and beams are reminiscent of traditional cabin interiors but are modernized with a whitewash. Encased in glass, the main living area opens out to an expansive deck. Overlooking the water, the oversized roof extends over the terrace and hot tub creating a sheltered outdoor space to take in the views.

1965 Jaguar E-Type Semi-Lightweight Roadster

Sir Paul Vestey was a well-heeled privateer racer, having a raving stable that included the Ferrari 275GTB/C, 250LM, and a racing-spec Jaguar E-Type. Having gotten everything out of the E-Type he could, Sir Vestey got a blank E-Type chassis from the Jaguar factory — something only the very well connected could do. The E-Type was wrapped in the same aluminum bodywork used for the factory racers and fitted with a 3.8-liter D-Type straight six. The car would go on to have an illustrious racing career, in both current and vintage events up through the early 90s. With lightweight E-Type's getting up to $7.5 million at auction, expect a similar premium for a car with an extensive racing history.

Casa Hualle

Sited on a grassy plot near the Villarrica volcano in Chile, the Casa Hualle draws inspiration from its active neighbor with a dark timber cladding. The simple volume takes on a geometric silhouette with a folded roofline. Covered in a charcoal-washed verticle siding, the exterior stands out from the rustic landscape while also nodding to the region's vernacular architecture. Inside, washed plywood panels line the interior. The minimal palette acts as a backdrop for strategically placed windows that frame in the dramatic landscape surrounding the property.

Classic Car Club Manhattan

Originally located in SoHo, the Classic Car Club recently moved its operations to a new 40,000 square foot member's club on Pier 76 along the Westside highway. Designed by longtime member and architect Marc Thorpe, it epitomizes the club's transition from a purely driving-focused offering to a gathering place for those with a love of motoring. Housed inside are an 8,000 square foot showroom and event space, a lounge and bar, a kitchen, a workshop, a semi-public park, and a 3,000 square foot riverfront terrace, all of which are tied together by the tasteful use of dark materials and subtle auto-inspired details.

Audemars Piguet Hotel des Horlogers

Ski resorts are usually located near the best slopes but the Audemars Piguet Hotel des Horlogers is actually made from one. The structure is comprised of five tiered volumes tucked into a Swiss hillside. Topped with a continuous zig-zag, guest will be able to ski down the sloping rooftops to the nearby trails as well as the luxury watchmaker's museum. Inside, a single hall will join the 50 rooms while a bar, spa, and restaurant with valley views will be housed below.

Banshu Hamano Knife

The Banshu region in the Hyogo prefecture of Japan has a history of blacksmithing that dates back centuries. This Banshu Hamano Knife continues the proud tradition. Each one is made by hand by skilled craftsmen from high-carbon "Ao-hagane" blue steel using the same techniques as those generations before them. The traditional Higonokami utility blade folds into brass scales and is further protected by a fabric roll.

Length: 8.25" open / Blade Length: 3.5" / Weight: 2.12 oz.

1953 Ferrari 625 Targa Florio

One of just three 625TF's to be built, this 1953 Ferrari 625 Targa Florio is desirable for its rarity alone. The fact that it was raced by Enzo's team, by names such as Mike Hawthorn, Umberto Maglioli, and Luis Milan, makes it even more enticing. Following its first race, it was slightly remodeled, with a reduction in the radiator grille believed to be the work of Scaglietti. Following a stint in South America, it ended back in Italy and was untouched until 1974 when Franco Lombardi found it in a Naples scrapyard. Two restorations — one in Modena — and a handful of historic racing entries since, it remains in excellent driving condition, a track-worthy piece of automotive history.

East Coast Defender Range Rover Classic Project Alpha

Built to represent the most luxurious of their three Range Rover Classic models, East Coast Defender's Project Alpha is an eye-popping update to a '95 LWB. Like all ECD projects, it was stripped down to the bare chassis, then rebuilt, repainted, and reupholstered at the company's Florida HQ. This particular example was then given a more aggressive lower front fascia, LED fog lights, a glossy black roof, and custom painted black Range Rover wheels. Inside, the front seats were given bolstering for comfort and wrapped in soft cappuccino leather with contrasting black piping, the floor done in black carpet, and the gauges upgraded to digital.

Toyota Land Cruiser Utility Commercial SUV

The best SUV Toyota makes is also its most bare-bones model — the Land Cruiser Utility Commercial. Based on the Land Cruiser Prado that Toyota sells in the US as the Lexus GX460, this Land Cruiser has been stripped down to the essentials. The rear seat is gone with a flat, non-skid liner covering the floor, and a steel bulkhead and wire mesh separate the driver from the cargo area. The drivetrain is similarly utilitarian, with a 2.8-liter diesel four and six-speed manual being the only choice. With its steel wheels and even a two-door short wheelbase option, this is the Land Cruiser Toyota needs to bring to the States.

Dango P01 Pioneer Wallet

Dango is bringing multifunctionality to the table by offering a bifold that does more than just hold your money. Inside its Italian leather shell, the P01 Pioneer houses a 48-page notebook. A designated slot holds a custom-designed pen made from aerospace grade aluminum. Even with that, it can still manage up to 20 credit or business cards without sacrificing its compact profile. An RFID blocking material keeps all of that personal information you're carrying around safe while a sturdy silicone band keeps it all secure. Handmade in the USA.

1965 Porsche 911

At the 1963 Frankfurt Auto Show, Porsche unveiled its latest sports car, the Porsche 901. The all-new car was an evolution of Porsche's philosophy brought into the modern era. A dispute over the 901 name with Peugeot led to the 911 name we all know and love. This 1965 911 has an ultra-rare 300 series chassis number, meaning it is one of the first 911s to roll off the assembly line during the first full year of production. A literal barn find, it has its original engine and has been exactingly restored to its factory specification, making it one of the best early examples of the car that would go on to become a legend.

Jackson House

Copper, concrete, glass, and timber form this contemporary retreat in Big Sur. Situated at the base of a canyon, the Jackson House sits on a foundation of stilts, appearing to hover over the landscape in an effort to keep the site intact. The structure is comprised of four main volumes, each clad in a different material. They are topped with an oversized butterfly roof that extends out over the structure, creating covered terraces around the perimeter. Aside from private bedrooms, the interior was left mostly open for communal gathers. Corners are fitted with double-height glazing offering a unique outlook to the surrounding canyon views.

Hitch & Timber Card Caddy

With a Hitch & Timber Card Caddy, every stitch and pocket has a purpose. Aside from a slot to stash up to six cards and some cash, the wallet can also handle the rest of your EDC with a compartment for a small knife and a dedicated pen holder. All your items will be handsomely housed in a four-ounce leather shell that has been cut, stitched, and burnished by hand, right here in the USA.

Shown with the Victorinox Swiss Army Cadet Knife and Fisher Bullet Space Pen.

Airstream Nest Travel Trailer

Known for their iconic aluminum trailers, fiberglass might seem like an odd choice for the newest Airstream — but in fact, company founder Wally Byam experimented with the material as early as the 1950s. It now forms the semi-monocoque structure of the Nest by Airstream. Outside you'll find a two-tone, 3,400 pound, 16-foot body with six windows — including a ski goggle-inspired panoramic front windshield — as well as a skylight and a vertical window on the rear-mounted door. All of which helps to light the clean interior, which offers generous storage, premium fixtures, a two-burner stove, microwave, wet bath, and your choice of either a U-shaped dinette that converts into a bed or a permanent bed with Tuft & Needle mattress.

Victorinox Swiss Army SwissCard

The occasion doesn't always call for a pocket knife. When you want to be prepared but a bit more discreet, there's the Victorinox Swiss Army SwissCard. Designed to fit in your wallet, it has a 2.5 mm screwdriver, pressurized ballpoint pen, and a letter opener blade tucked inside for utility, while a nail file, tweezers, scissors, and toothpick let you handle most grooming emergencies without a trip to the corner store.
