Citizen CZ SMART
Featuring Google’s Wear OS operating system and compatible with Android and Apple smartphones, this next-gen smartwatch features an impressive array of connected features, from cal- endar alerts to health and wellness monitoring to music control. With an ion-plated stainless steel case and bracelet, a rugged bezel, and a selec- tion of classic Citizen dials, it’s also as stylish as it is smart. When it comes to smartwatches, this one is the complete package. $495
Bulova Precisionist 98B358
In the watchmaking game, there’s one thing that matters above all else: preci- sion. This has been Bulova’s obsession for over a century, and it is the driv- ing force behind the Precisionist. The heart and soul of this new sports watch is a proprietary 262kHz movement whose sweeping seconds hand and 1/1000th-second chronograph place it among the most precise watches in the world. $1,275
Bulova Precisionist 96B349
With its luxurious design and top-tier materials, the Bulova Precisionist looks at home among the world’s most styl- ish and coveted sports watches. This model, however, featuring a silver-tone stainless steel case and bracelet and a contrasting blue dial, delivers more than just good looks. High-end touches like a curved sapphire crystal and 300 m water-resistance, plus the functionality of a calendar and 1/1000th-of-a-second chronograph, reveal the Precisionist as the rare breed that it is. $1,295
LITTLE PETRA VB1 BY VIGGO BOESEN FOR &TRADITION
When it comes to interiors, min- imalism is on its way out — and it’s high time to embrace cozy, characterful fabrics. This sheep- skin lounger, a paragon of the Scandinavian funkis style de- signed by Danish architect Viggo Boesen, was first introduced to the world back in 1938. In con- trast to the iconic Bauhaus school of design, which was producing spare designs made of industri- al materials, Boesen embraced softness, warmth, and organic shapes. Yes, please. $7,995
