Ballguthof Hotel

Nestled at the foot of Monte S. Vigilio, the Ballguthof Hotel contrasts its rural alpine landscape with a modern black facade. The stark concrete structure is offset on its interior with a warm timber cladding throughout the reception area and lounge. Each of the rooms finds harmony between the exterior's clean lines and the Italian countryside with a mix of rustic wood and contemporary furnishings. Along with a sauna, bathing pond, Turkish bath, and outdoor pool, the property has ample ways to relax among the surrounding vineyards and orchards.

2019 Porsche Cayenne Turbo

When you absolutely have to get the kids, groceries, pets, and inlaws to their respective destinations as fast as humanly possible, there's only one answer — the 2019 Porsche Cayenne Turbo. It's just like the current model, except better in every way. With an improved 550 hp and 567 lb-ft of torque on tap, the Cayenne Turbo will hustle you and everything you can carry to 60 in 3.9 secs and on to a top speed of 177 MPH. Keeping everything wheels down is the familiar all-wheel drive, active suspension, and selectable terrain control. The Cayenne Turbo arrives in showrooms fall 2018.

Side Project Double Barrel Derivation Beer

True to its name, the line of beer from Side Project Brewing known as Derivation becomes something entirely new after time spent in barrels. The most sought after beer in this line is arguably Double Barrel Derivation, an Imperial Stout aged for two years in Willett 12-year-old barrels before being racked to Port barrels for three months of finishing. It's then bottled and naturally conditioned for eight months before being released to the public.

Apollo Program Photobook

Our exploration of space, and our visits to the Moon, in particular, rank among some of humanity's greatest achievements. The Apollo Program Photobook gives you a first-hand view of missions VII - XVII. Each of the more than 225 images was restored from original scans of the 70mm film rolls shot by the astronauts themselves and is presented here with remarkable clarity. They run the gamut from views of the Earth from inside the Command Module to stark black and white shots of the lunar surface. In addition to the photos themselves, the book also contains a short essay written by Apollo VII crewman Walt Cunningham, as well background information on the modified Hasselblad equipment used to shoot them. Measuring nearly one foot by one foot, the clothbound book is available by itself or in a bundle with one of several select prints.

Brabus 900 SUV

Based on the already powerful Mercedes-AMG G65, the Brabus 900 SUV is one of the world's most powerful off-road vehicles. Its twin-turbo V12 engine has seen its displacement upped to 6.3L, alongside a host of other improvements that increase the output to an insane 900 hp. As a result, this rugged ride can sprint from 0-62 in just 3.9 seconds and has an electronically-limited top speed of 168 mph. The body has also been modified to help accommodate the 23-inch forged wheels, which work in concert with the Brabus-tuned dynamic suspension and high-performance braking system to ensure an enjoyable, safe ride. Limited to just ten examples.

Patio House

Surrounded by a grove of mature oak trees, the Patio House takes inspiration from the vernacular architecture of its native Portugal. At the heart of the home is a central patio. Like the montes settlements of the region, this exterior space is defined by a cluster of white volumes. These structures house the private areas and are connected by an inner ring made up of communal spaces. An internal wall of glass sliding doors encases the courtyard providing a direct link between the outdoors and the interior, while glazed panels on the outer partitions allow for views of the rural landscape.

Bripe Coffee Brew Pipe Kit

Brew up a tasty shot of coffee anywhere you go with the Bripe Coffee Brew Pipe Kit. This all-in-one package includes everything you need (except coffee), including a butane-powered quad jet torch, the brewer with patent-pending inner cone and integrated straw, thermometer, a copper cooling stand, a stainless-steel filter, and a test tube-like canister for your grinds. To use it, add coffee and water to the brewer, heat the mixture to at least 185 degrees, let it cool to your preferred temperature, and sip. The suction automatically extracts an ideal shot from the brewer, providing barista-quality results miles away from the nearest cafe.

Mercedes-Benz Concept EQA

The latest concept to emerge from MB's electric initiative, the Mercedes-Benz Concept EQA is an engaging, compact ride. It's powered by a pair of electric motors delivering up to 270 hp and a range of roughly 250 miles depending on configuration. Two driving modes — Sport and Sport Plus — change the front-to-rear torque distribution and thus the driving characteristics. Your selection also alters the appearance of the virtual radiator grill, which is joined in the front by laser fiber lights. When it comes time to charge the vehicle, it supports rapid charging, wall boxes, and even contact-free inductive solutions.

BMW i Vision Dynamics Concept

The Tesla Model S hasn't faced any real competition since its introduction — until now. BMW is very serious about electric vehicles, and its i Vision Dynamics concept proves their commitment. Called a Gran Coupe, the four-door i Vision features a 373-mile range, zero-to-60 in four seconds, and a 120 MPH top speed. An evolution of the BMWi design philosophy, the i Vision is wrapped flowing sheet metal with sharp, defined edges, and a huge, illuminated twin-kidney grille. Sitting between the i3 and i8, the i Vision will fill the sedan gap in the lineup when it debuts.

Native Hotel

Tucked in a hillside along the Pacific Coast Highway, the former Malibu Riviera re-emerges as the Native Hotel. The structure was originally built in 1947 and retains its mid-century roots with wood beams, handcrafted furniture, and concrete floors. All of the thirteen rooms are minimally decorated and offer king-sized beds, artwork exclusive to the hotel, bathrooms with ceramic tiles and brass fixtures, and Dutch doors that lead to a private patio. The only thing not available is TVs, leaving your mind to focus solely on the surrounding landscape, including nearby Zuma Beach and Point Dume.

Renovo x Glenmorangie Original Bicycle

It's no secret that the wood from whisky barrels is versatile. But the Renovo x Glenmorangie Original Bicycle shows just how versatile a barrel can be. The collaborative effort from the bicycle maker and Scotch Whisky distiller is the first of its kind and gives new life to Single Malt casks that once held Glenmorangie Scotch. The hollow frame is created from 15 staves to reflect the curvature of the casks, and take more than 20 hours to create. The finished product weighs around 18 pounds, are individually numbered, and are finished with Glenmorangie's Signet icon.

Apple iPhone X

It's hard to believe it's been ten years since the original iPhone. To mark the occasion, Apple's pulling out all the stops with the Apple iPhone X (Ten, not "Ex"). Immediately apparent is its nearly bezel-free design with 5.8-inch TrueTone OLED Super Retina display and stainless-steel side bands. Less so is the host of new tech inside, from infrared, neural network-powered 3D facial recognition, or Face ID, to an A11 Bionic processor with a neural engine and dual camera system, with optical image stabilization for both lenses. The glass back allows for Qi-compatible wireless charging, and with an optional charging mat, you can charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods with a single outlet. It comes in space gray and silver, in 64GB and 256GB, and arrives in November.

Apple iPhone 8

No, it's not the new flagship — that title belongs to the iPhone X — but the Apple iPhone 8 is no slouch, either. While it looks quite similar to past models from the front, the rear is now glass, allowing for Qi wireless charging, and the new stereo speakers improve the audio experience dramatically. Both 12-megapixel cameras have been upgraded, with a new feature on the Plus that creates a depth map of your subject and applies effects for even better portraits. The 4.7-inch display of the 8 and 5.5-inch display of the 8 Plus now offer True Tone technology, the A11 Bionic processor is blazingly fast, and it comes space gray, silver, and gold.

Apple TV 4K

It was just a matter of time, but that doesn't make the Apple TV 4K any less welcome. In addition to generally making the menus sharper, the latest upgrade to Apple's familiar black box includes both access to 4K shows and movies from iTunes and 4K streams from services like Netflix and Amazon. It also adds HDR support, plays highly detailed games from the App Store, and of course, includes a Siri remote for voice-powered navigation. Oh, and don't worry about re-buying your iTunes movies — you get upgraded to 4K for free.

Apple Watch Series 3

It doesn't look any different than Series 1 or 2. It's what's inside Apple Watch Series 3 that makes all the difference. That starts with a cellular connection, which allows you to take calls, message, and stream music all without your phone. It also has a 70% faster processor, a barometric altimeter for tracking steps climbed and elevation change, and a new fabric sports band option. It's available in three aluminum finishes, two ceramic Edition versions, and a version sans cellular.

Edifice EQB800 Watch

A flurry of upgrades makes the latest addition to the Edifice line of watches incredibly attractive. The EQB800 has a target time indicator that was developed based on input from professional racing team members that allows you to measure track lap times using stopwatch data transfer to the Edifice Watch Smartphone app. The watch will also link that information directly to the app with its dedicated Bluetooth connection button installed in the 8 o'clock position. Additional features include an oversized stopwatch start and lap measurement buttons, a retrograde hand that moves in the forward or backward direction, and a 2-city simultaneous time display to track what time it is at home and wherever you're currently residing. A high-performance analog watch with motorsport spirit that travelers, racing enthusiasts, and more will gravitate towards naturally.

Krokholmen House

Set on the shore of a small island in Stockholm's archipelago, the Krokholmen House gives coastal living a dramatic new silhouette. The structure takes on a tent-like form with a grand arched roof line. Clad in a mixture of zinc and unfinished cedar planks, the burden of maintenance is lifted allowing for the materials to weather over time. The warm exterior palette is carried inward with an ash-lined interior, only disrupted by polished concrete floors. Below the curved pitch of the ceiling sits a living area, flanked by a kitchen and an outdoor courtyard. Sliding glass doors on three sides of the home expose the interior to the seaside landscape through sweeping views as well as an access point to three oceanfront terraces.

Land Rover Discovery SVX

Land Rover has gotten more civilized over the years, but their legendary off-road-ability hasn't changed at all. The Discovery SVX takes Land Rover's full-size SUV and adds a supercharged, 528hp V8, increased ground clearance, larger tires, and body and suspension lifts. The new Hydraulic Active Roll Control controls wheel articulation and body roll to keep the Discovery sure-footed over nearly any terrain or obstacle. The Discovery SVX will be hand-assembled in England, with production starting in 2018.

Audi Aicon Concept

Named for the Audi AI that controls it, the Audi Aicon Concept serves as a design study for the car of the future. The 2+2 vehicle is unencumbered by the need for a steering wheel or pedals, instead giving over to interior screens, wraparound views, and unheard of ergonomics, including seats that move up to 20 inches front-to-back on dedicated platforms. Gone are traditional headlights and taillights, replaced with a matrix of hundreds of triangular pixels, which can form "eyes" that follow passers-by and other cars. It's powered by an electric powertrain capable of 80 mph cruising speeds and with nearly 500 miles of range, and obviously, won't see the road until all our cars are driving themselves.

Sebastopol Barn House

Born in upstate New York and relocated to Northern California, the Sebastopol Barn House is the revival of a classic timber frame structure. The original wooden beams were disassembled and refurbished in Texas workshop. This rustic framework became the centerpiece of the home, highlighted by a series of white partitions, carefully formed around each pillar. Although the integrity of the previous design was maintained through its simple rectangular form, a new concrete extension creates an L-shaped design that encloses a central courtyard. The addition of glazed sliding doors grants access to this outdoor space, while also allowing for views of the wine country setting.

1967 Porsche 911S

Sometimes, when you can't find the perfect car, you have to build it yourself. That's exactly what Bruce Canepa did with this 1967 Porsche 911S. The original car was found in Washington state with a surprising lack of rust, and with all the original parts. The next step was a complete teardown. Every piece of the car was broken down, restored, and reassembled — from replating to repainting. A slight motor massage and a set of totally unfindable Recaro NOS racing seats top off the job. With almost no miles since the restoration, this a 911 that is more than ready to be driven.

Comme des Garcons x Andy Warhol's You're In

Reviving one of the pop art icon's most provocative works, Comme de Garcons x Andy Warhol's You're In is an homage in fragrance form. The original 1967 work consisted of a series of 100 glass Coca-Cola bottles, which Warhol had spray-painted silver, filled with a yellow substance he claimed was toilet water and topped with special lids. Coca-Cola, obviously not pleased with the play on words, soon issued a cease-and-desist letter. This release includes a unisex scent with notes of orange, lime, jasmine, cashmere, and wood, which arrives in one of six different collectible bottles, each inscribed with a famous Warhol quote and boxed in special packaging. A portion of the proceeds from each will go to benefit the Warhol Foundation.

Obama: An Intimate Portrait

During both of his terms as President, Barack Obama's Official White House Photographer was present for more pivotal moments than anyone. And now, with the release of what is sure to be the definitive visual biography of the 44th President, readers will have access to those moments as well. Pete Souza took nearly two million photographs during his time on staff, and the best are presented in this oversize, 12"x10" format that also features a foreword from the President himself.

Mercedes-AMG Project One Show Car

It might not have the highest top speed, but the Mercedes-AMG Project One Show Car is undoubtedly as close as you can come to driving an F1 car off-track. Its 1.6L V6 engine and electrically assisted turbo come directly from the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1 racing car. Four electric motors in total are used throughout the car — one integrated into the turbo, one installed directly on the engine with a link to the crankcase, and two helping to drive the front wheels. In total, the system produces over 1,000 hp and makes possible a 0-112 mph time of under six seconds and a top speed of 217. The battery cells and cooling system are also taken straight from the race car, a link reinforced by the two-seater's F1-style steering wheel. The engine and eight-speed manual/automatic transmission are load-bearing and entirely support the rear suspension, while the lightweight carbon fiber monocoque body keeps weight down. The car will be on display at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt and is just the latest step towards the upcoming production model.
