Hasselblad Lunar
For over half a century Hasselblad has been making cameras for the world’s top professional photographers. Now the company has launched the Lunar – a state-of-the-art, Italian-designed, ultimate luxury consumer camera and a breathtaking hybrid of Italian design and Swedish pedigree. The Lunar launches with five different grip styles, all handcrafted. Lovers of the sexy, minimalist look can opt for the light and resistant carbon fibre design. Those who seek something totally unique may prefer natural Italian wood – olive or mahogany – undyed and with a waxless matt finish. Metal finishes are titanium apart from the mahogany wood model which is copper-bronze. Approximately 24.7 megapixels. Priced at $6,800 USD for the standard models, the Lunar is on sale at select retail outlets and luxury boutiques across the globe. For a complete list of stockists worldwide together with further details on the Lunar, please see hasselblad-lunar.com.
BOSE QUIETCOMFORT 20
BOSE IS THE BRAND I ALWAYS HAVE IN,IF YOU’VE EVER SEEN ME WITH MY EARPLUGS,SO YOU KNOW IM GETTING THESE While Bose’s noise cancelling headphones have proven to be a travel essential for many, they aren’t exactly compact and easily packable. Bose finally addresses this with their first noise cancelling (and much more compact) in-ear headphones, the Quietcomfort 20. Available this summer, one of the headphones’ big features is an “aware-mode” that trickles in environment noise when you need to pay attention to your surroundings. A slim remote holds the battery that gives you 16 hours of juice and the headphones can still be used without noise-cancelling when the battery runs out. $299, Bose Via CoolHunting
PAGANI ZONDA REVOLUCION, 2.2 Million Euros
Pagani unveils its latest track-ready rocketship, the Zonda Revolucion. Sitting on a lightweight, carbon-titanium monocoque chassis, the Revolucion is an olympic athlete in car form ready to dominate with an AMG-sourced 6.0L 800 hp V12 that’s matched with a six speed magnesium transversal and sequential gearbox that can shift in 20ms. As you can clearly see aerondynamics are a crucial part of the package with the Drag Reduction System that gives the driver full control over the rear wing to adjust downforce. Stopping power comes in the form of Brembo-developed CCMR discs based on F1 tech that are not only lighter, but are stronger and cooler, and have a longer lifespan. Price of admission for a Revolucion? About 2.2 Million Euros plus taxes. Pagani
