1. Blancpain Villeret Carrousel Moonphase
Blancpain’s new addition to the Villeret collection unites two complications, the carrousel – brought back by the brand in 2008 to much acclaim – and the moon phase. The exceptional result is as beautiful as it is technical, making for a very special piece you’ll wish you had on your wrist.

2. Aspark Owl
Didn’t think there was such a thing as an electric supercar? You were very much mistaken. Meet the Aspark Owl, which is now proven to reach 62mph in 1.9 seconds – as seen in a video released last month by the Japanese auto manufacturer. With 1,000 horsepower and a super-light carbon body, it adds an interesting dimension to the future of motoring.

4. Magico A3 Speaker
Billed as Magico’s most ‘affordable’ speaker – although not everyone may agree – the A3 easily outperforms any other speaker in its price bracket, thanks to a slick anodised aluminium enclosure and elliptical crossover network already loved by the brand’s fans.

8. Hublot Big Bang Unico TMT
Floyd Mayweather approved, and no wonder – the Hublot Big Bang Unico TMT is fit for a champion. From a strap decorated with python and gold studs, to the 3N golden-crusted carbon fibre which dresses the watch from the case to the bezel (and not forgetting the 48 baguette-cut diamonds and 379 brilliant-cut diamonds which adorn 10 special numbered editions), there is nothing about this watch that says underachiever.
