Best. Movie. Year. Ever.

Fight Club. The Matrix. Eyes Wide Shut. American Beauty. Magnolia. Toy Story 2. Office Space. Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. The Iron Giant. The Virgin Suicides. Apart from being cultural touchstones, all these movies share something else in common: they came out the same year. Best. Movie. Year. Ever.: How 1999 Blew Up the Big Screen takes a dive into this transformative year in cinema, with help from the people responsible. Penned by Wired scribe Brian Raftery, it features more than 130 new and exclusive interviews with the likes of Steven Soderbergh, Edward Norton, Sofia Coppola, David Fincher, Kirsten Dunst, the Office Space guys, and many others, compiled into a tale that tells not just of the films' productions but their lasting cultural impacts.

Oxford Hill Panache Santal Fragrance Oil

Sandalwood plays a key role in many men's fragrances. Panache Santal from Oxford Hill honors this tradition. While the top note is floral, with scents of lilies and rose, the base is a masculine mix of sandalwood, cedar, and vetiver. With a heart of papyrus, cardamom, and amber, this is a versatile scent that goes on easily with roll-on application and lasts for hours.

Montegrappa Anytime Perpetual Calendar Pen

Like fine timepieces, quality pens require detailed craftsmanship. That's evident in the perpetual calendar mechanism of the Anytime pen from Paolo Favaretto and Montegrappa. The pen's lid has three notched dials for the date, day, and month that provide haptic feedback when adjusted and lock into place using technology from the company's ratchet piston-fill mechanism. The pen is available in two models: Maestro, with a black resin and Delrin body with stainless steel trim, and Supremo, with a red resin body and yellow gold-plated brass trim. Both rollerball and fountain versions are available; the latter models have 18k gold nibs, and every pen regardless of model is limited to 365 numbered pieces and arrives pre-adjusted to show the date of manufacture.
