Cocaïn: History & Culture tells the story of the infamous substance, including the period in the 1880s when the Surgeon-General of the US Army endorsed it for medical use, and the "family friendly" drink known as Coca-Cola — with syrup derived from coca leaves — made its debut.

There's nothing quite as mesmerizing as a tourbillion complication on a luxury timepiece. And Era has not only created a beautiful example, but they've done it at a price that's considerably less than the majority of tourbillions on the market. The Prometheus Titan is built around a 44m hand-polished case with ultra-scratch resistant Sapphire glass that houses a dial with a GMT hour hand, day/night complication, — and of course — the elegant flow of the single-axis manual tourbillion movement. The platinum bezel with 78 round GH colored diamonds weighing 2.3 carats add an extra layer of class and brilliance, and the timepiece is finished with a Hornback style leather strap with quick release bars. The Titan arrives in a box made from pure custom wood that is lacquered carefully over hours and the watch is backed by Era's two-year international warranty.

If you're a dog owner, you know how disturbing big noises like fireworks can be for your pet. To address the issue, Ford took the active noise-canceling technology they use in vehicles and placed it into a tent-shaped doghouse. The kennel was built using acoustic isolation panels, soundproof ventilation, anti-vibration block risers, and an automatic door. When microphones inside the kennel detect the sound of fireworks, a built-in audio system emits opposing frequencies to cancel out or significantly reduce the noise and protect your dog's super sensitive hearing. The kennel is currently only a prototype but could have a major impact on the lives of pets if brought to market.

At the corner of Hollywood and Vine, you'll find APL: the latest venture from chef and meat guru Adam Perry Lang. Inspired by steakhouses from the late 1800s and early 1900s, the restaurant is also now accepting members for their unique APL Beef Club. Membership allows you to procure 40 pounds of bone-in "Flinstonian Rib" tomahawk steaks that are dry-aged in APL's 1,000 square foot "environmental chamber." All of the beef is hormone and antibiotic free, butchered on-site, and can be aged for up to one year from the date of your purchase. During its time in the chamber, the meat intensifies to bring out incredibly rich flavors with the sweet spot of maturity being between 90-150 days. Your "Flinstonian Rib" will yield about 10 to 12 restaurant-sized portions of delicious steaks and can be enjoyed in one sitting with a large group or by visiting APL multiple times until it's gone within one year.

While he's widely known for his industrial projects, Dieter Rams has applied his Good Design principals to a handbag. The 931 was originally conceived in 1963 for the designer's wife but was never put into production. Now, 55 years later, the handbag has resurfaced as a true testament to his timeless spirit. The Tsatsas collaboration is less but better with a minimalist calf-skin leather exterior featuring a top handle and detachable shoulder strap. Its interior is lined in the brand's signature blue lamb Nappa leather and offers a zippered pocket and two small compartments. Available in black and concrete, each one is handcrafted in Germany and individually numbered.
From William Hall, the author of Concrete and Brick, comes the aptly titled Wood, a look at the world's most celebrated timber architecture. Featuring 170 structures from the last 1,000 years, Wood is organized into themes like Texture, Light, and Juxtaposition. The latter of which is arranged to promote comparison and discussion, taking readers on a global tour of different projects — like an onion-domed Russian church that sits next to a fortified Japanese castle. Each project is highlighted with outstanding photography and an extended caption for commentary about each structure. Hall provides an original look at one of the most versatile and storied building materials on earth.

Silver, gold, and signature monogram — it's not quite the same phrase Burl Ives crooned in the holiday classic, but these ornaments from Louis Vuitton prove it works just as well.
