Two of the most admired names in their respective industries have teamed up to create this incredibly impressive luxury item. Louis Vuitton and Hennessy recently unveiled this trunk, handcrafted in France and lined with high-quality leather and the brand's trademark monogram pattern. The trunk opens to reveal a makeshift bar, complete with four magnum-sized crystal decanters or Paradis Impérial: an exclusive cognac aged for more than a century in French oak and sourced from one of the oldest barrelhouses in the world. The trunk also houses crystal stemware and supplies to entertain up to 18 people, accessories inspired by Hennessy's eighth generation Master Blender, and a standalone Nomad Case to transport an individual magnum of the unique spirit.
Quite possibly the most underrated tool around, the Carpenter's Hatchet is a classic workhorse.

The flags won't be the only yellow seen on the greens of Augusta this week. While the white versions will be used more than any other ball, Bubba Watson will be playing the brand new yellow variant of Titleist's Pro V1 & Pro V1x golf balls. Redesigned for 2019, the PGA's favorite ball has a cover that's 17% thinner than before for added speed, a larger casing layer for added distance, and a new core. While the Pro V1 delivers very low spin and penetrating flight off the tee, the Pro V1x provides a higher trajectory while keeping spin low, with both providing outstanding feel around the green. Both the classic white and new yellow versions are available now.

In 2016, the Tactica Talon became the highest funded multitool in crowdfunding history. Using the feedback from thousands of backers, it's since been improved and rechristened the Tactica Original. Packed into its 3.1-inch case that can be attached to a key ring are a multitude of tools, including more than a dozen wrenches (imperial and metric), a bottle opener, a package opener, a ruler, hex sockets, and both Phillips and flathead bits. It's TSA compliant, so you can leave it in your pocket while flying, and its hardened steel core is wrapped in a lightweight composite that won't scratch your phone's screen.

Based in Brooklyn, New York, graphic designer Scott Reinhard combines vintage maps with elevation data to create stunning pieces of art. Reinhard uses a chromogenic process to create each print, which takes traditional color photography development and integrates 3-dimensional data with paper maps for a result that is so visually appealing, you'll be tempted to reach out and feel what looks like 3D texture. The process brings the maps to life, creating a 2D print that is vibrant and detailed giving you a unique work of art that blends history and modern technology. In addition to the topographic maps, Reinhard creates compelling digitally rendered maps and has even adopted his technique to the surface of the moon.
Choose from map prints of Death Valley, Rocky Mountain National Park, Glacier National Park, Joshua Tree, Marfa, Texas, Hudson, New York, or a digital rendering of all the buildings in New York City.
Kiwano's KO1 electric scooter is getting its first major overhaul since its introduction in 2017 with the new KO1+. The monowheel scooter tops out at 12 MPH, lower than the 20 MPH of its predecessor, but features a 1,000-watt hub motor and LG lithium-ion batteries that give it 25 miles of range for every hour of charge time. The KO1+ rides on a chunky poly-carbonate tire, with carbon fiber and zinc alloy making up the stem and suspension pieces. That's right — the KO1+ has a monoshock suspension system to soak up bumps and give it light offroad capability along with being able to climb up to 30% grades. Step on the footpegs, lean forward, and away you go, with a companion app that lets you adjust handling settings, launch angle, and even a follow mode. Watch the KO1+ in action here.

Tiger is arguably the best iron player in the history of golf, so outfitting him with new clubs isn't an easy task. He worked with TaylorMade for years to create the perfect set. These P•7TW Irons are the result. Instead of being developed as a group, each individual club has been engineered on its own to meet Tiger's exacting standards. The forged heads have tungsten weighting behind the sweet spot for added performance and fully milled soles that can be precisely duplicated so that each set is identical to the last. As a result, golfers now have the chance to own a set of clubs exactly like the ones Tiger plays, including at Augusta this week.
Capable of hitting speeds up to 18 mph and traversing seven miles per charge, the Riptide R1 Black is a sleek mobility solution. Designed with input from Waterborne, its integrated Surf Adapter lets it turn three times tighter than standard trucks for unheard of carving. A Rear Rail Adapter keeps your back wheels in line with the nose no matter what the front wheels are doing, and the dual motor powertrain provides instant speed with a push on the wireless remote.

Freed from restraints like budgets or existing materials and processes, Titleist CNCPT Irons are the result of letting their R&D engineers run wild. Both the more forgiving CP-01 and more workable CP-02 are made with a rare, super-strong metal alloy never before used in club making, allowing for the thinnest unsupported, constant-thickness face in golf. Dubbed the Super Metal L-Face Insert, it produces extraordinary ball speeds, which when paired with loads of high-density tungsten gives them a higher launch, greater distance, and a steeper angle of descent. Given their price — $500 per iron — Titleist is scheduling fittings for interested buyers, and thus you won't find these sitting on store shelves.
Fishing is already a pretty leisurely activity. The Tackobox Smart Connect Fishing Reel makes it even more so. It uses sensors to detect fish strikes and a Bluetooth connection to ping your phone when it's time to start reeling in. This leaves your hands free to read a book, take photos of your surroundings, drink a beer, or whatever outdoor-appropriate pursuit you prefer. It features an aluminum spool, a CNC machine cut handle, a 4.7:1 gear ratio, and a 40-hour battery that disconnects, along with the rest of the electronics, for easy charging over USB.

The result of five years of research, the Casper Hybrid Mattress brings springs back into the equation. The mattress-in-a-box brand typically offers all-foam models but recently they've added springs to their award-winning foam. While four layers of their signature material relieve pressure by aligning the spine, a foundation made from hundreds of fabric-wrapped coils offer zoned support and lift. With warmer months approaching, its airflow-friendly springs and open-cell foam will keep you cool at night.

Developed specifically to reduce spin off the tee, the Titleist TS4 Driver joins the immensely popular TS2 and TS3 in the company's lineup. It has the thinnest cast titanium crown in the game, allowing the center of gravity to be moved down and forward to ensure lower spin. Meanwhile, the Radial VFT face delivers faster ball speeds and increased forgiveness. Finally, the streamlined, pear-shaped 430cc head reduces drag, helping you maximize clubhead speed. Arriving on tour this week and in stores in June.
Built as a gift for Prince Rainier III of Monaco, this 1958 Riva Tritone — named "Via" has as rare a provenance as you'll find. Enjoyed by the Prince and his wife Grace Kelly for several years, during which time it flew both the flag of Monaco and the personal flag of the prince, it was later replaced with a Riva Junior but remained in Monaco under the care of Riva. Not long ago, it was returned to original condition by a Dutch specialist, a process that included the rebuilding of both original Chris-Craft MCL engines, the famous Chris-O-Matic transmission, and the red and white stripes of its original Principality.

Named for German explorer and naturalist Alexander Von Humboldt, the Winnebago Boldt is an ideal vehicle for modern adventures. It's built atop a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis, with all the safety systems and creature comforts you'd expect. It comes in two layouts, each with multiple sleeping areas, has an 11,600 watt-hour Pure3 energy system to keep everything juiced up, a modern interior with Ram Tough-Track Mounts for flexibility, and four-season insulation.
With a design inspired by American muscle cars, the PXG 0811 XF GEN2 Driver is the company's most forgiving yet. Its multi-level carbon fiber crown helps with alignment and stiffens the club, reducing energy loss and increasing distance. A honeycomb TPE insert dampens vibrations and allows for more weight to be repositioned around the sole, keeping the center of gravity low while increasing forgiveness to near USGA limits. The result is a sleek black club that instills confidence at address and performs consistently, all for a price that's surprisingly low compared to its predecessor. Also available in a low-spin X variant, and in matching fairway woods.

Taking nearly 5,000 hours to assemble and requiring nearly half a million bricks to complete, this Full-Scale LEGO McLaren Senna is as impressive as it is fun. The interactive model incorporates the infotainment system, carbon fiber seats, steering wheel, and pedals from the real car, as well as actual McLaren badges and real Pirelli tires. There's also a start button in the roof, which activates the sound of the car roaring to life. Overall, it took more than 40 men and women to design and build the model, using 467,854 individual LEGO bricks — so while it might be the same size as the road car, it weighs a full 1,102 lbs more.
