Hitch Hotel Camper

Designed and built in the USA from lightweight fiberglass and T6 aluminum, the Hitch Hotel is the world's first expandable wheel free trailer. The portable hotel room attaches to your car's trailer hitch and is compatible with any vehicle with a Class III hitch and some Class II's depending on your car's GVWR. It offers around 60 cubic feet of secure, suspended, watertight space for travel gear, and when expanded is self-supportive and provides 135 cubic feet of space — the equivalent of a queen sized bed that sleeps 2 to 3 people.

Sync Custom Conversion Van

This is not the hulking van with captain's chairs and miles of stuck on bits fiberglass you remember. Sync conversion vans are made with a purpose and can be custom-built to your specifications — no matter what you can dream up. Starting with a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Sync can get you ready for anything from weekend getaways to serious overlanding. Sync overs high-capacity water and charging systems, stow-away kitchen and tables, solar power and external racks to make sure you and everything you need can get where you're going.

Nocs Atelier Seconds Watch

Named for its standout feature, the Nocs Atelier Seconds Watch is an exercise in restraint. Its black PVD-coated stainless steel case has a brushed finish and holds a PVD-coated matte finish dial with raised black markers and black minute and hour hands. The second hand is finished in silver, standing out against the muted background and offering a meditation on time itself. It's powered by a pair of Japanese-made Miyota quartz movements with a four-year battery life, is water resistant to 160 feet, and is finished with a black NATO strap, making it the perfect complement for any black-dominated outfit.

Mono Cabin

The Mono Cabin isn't just easy on the eyes, it's also easy to obtain. The tiny prefab shelter sits on a steel base so there's no need for a foundation. At 106 square feet, it doesn't require any prior permits or planning allowing you to simply "Plug and Play". This minimalist philosophy also carries over into the aesthetics. The gabled exterior is clad in a sturdy standing-seam metal facade. Its birch-lined interior features vaulted ceilings and a wide-open layout giving you the freedom to customize it with lofts, desks, benches, and cabinets. Available in three variations, standard models come with electric heat but optional solar panels and a wood stove offer an off-grid alternative.

Velomacchi Speedway Gloves

Inspired by the handmade flat track racing gloves of the '60s and '70s, these covers combine vintage style with updated features. The palms are made from soft deerskin, giving you excellent feel and freedom of movement, while the backs are built using scuff-resistant goatskin and have TPU rubber finger guards that double as goggle wipes. They're finished off with reinforced brass rivets on the outer impact zone, conductive tips on the index finger and thumb for using touchscreens, and Velcro closures for a secure fit.

Stik Boat

Part kayak, part skiff, the Stik Boat is designed to be the ideal fishing boat. Its streamlined hull lets it operate in just three inches of water, letting it access areas far too shallow for traditional craft. It's also extremely stable, making the entire deck — from the seat forward — fishable. A jet-driven engine is quiet yet provides 17.5hp, enough to propel the 250-lb. vessel to speeds up to 27 mph and its 3.7-gallon fuel tank has a 35-40 mile range, or enough to last all day.

Mobius II SUV

Kenyan auto startup Mobius is building SUVs for the East African market with one philosophy in mind — it needs to be able to handle Africa's legendary terrain. The Mobius II is a 4x4 that builds on the Jeeps, Land Rovers, and Land Cruisers that came before, with an emphasis on simplicity and proven rugged reliability. A space frame chassis rides on front A-arms and a rear live axle, powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder motor. The Mobius II's compact dimensions and generous ride height are perfect for what you'll find in Kenya, and the styling gives a nod to its trailblazing ancestors. Mobius is taking preorders now, with plans to sell in the UK and US.

Beverly Hills Mountaintop

Overlooking all of Southern California, the Beverly Hills Mountaintop is aiming to set real estate history. Not because of its 157-acre size or that it's the highest point in 90210, but because of the price tag that comes along with it. The undeveloped parcel's billion dollar asking price makes it the most expensive listing in Los Angeles history. But with views spanning across downtown LA and all the way to Malibu on one side and glimpses of the San Gabriel Mountains on the other, it'll be worth every single one of those 100,000,000,000 pennies.
