Summit One Vanderbilt Observation Deck

Looking at a city as dense as NYC from above can be quite disorienting — and that's without throwing mirrors into the mix. At Summit One Vanderbilt, floor-to-ceiling windows meet mirrors on both the floor and the ceiling for a truly unique experience. Dubbed Air and designed by artist Kenzo Digital, it has multiple rooms and views from nearly 1,200 feet up. It starts with the aforementioned Transcendence 1, moves to the calmer, more intimate Reflect (with its own mirrors, naturally), a room filled with silver balloons dubbed Affinity, two all-glass extensions dubbed Levitation, a fourth room called Unity with projected clouds, and Aprés, a chalet-inspired café from Danny Meyer. On top of all that is Ascent, a pair of extra-cost glass elevators that will take guests to the very top of the structure.

The James Brand × Timex Automatic GMT Watch

Everyday carry enthusiasts should be familiar with The James Brand and their tasteful, minimalist designs. For this timepiece, they've teamed with Timex on an explorer-friendly GMT. It has a 41mm titanium case, with a contrasting emerald 24-hour bezel and a emerald dial outfitted with white Super LumiNova indexes and hands. A black GMT hand allows for tracking the time across multiple zones and provides a pop of color; a date window at 3 o'clock completes the dial. Powered by an automatic Miyota movement, it's limited to 750 examples and sits on a titanium bracelet.
