A little history of watches and some tips for buying the perfect watch. Chunky, luxury watches don’t suit everyone’s style, but this sleek-looking beauty carries the elegance and swagger needed to stand out from the crowd. The steel blue-like dial with its mix of distinctive leaf hands and Roman numerals exudes an air of class appropriate to a watch brand founded in Geneva in 1830. At 40mm it’s on the upper end of the medium size scale. Strap it on your wrist and see why celebs like David Duchovny and Kiefer Sutherland are huge fans. Chotovelli, a brand founded in the 1920s in Turin, derived and inspired by Italian aviators, is a name you probably haven’t heard before. Which just means it qualifies as a ‘find’. For the price, this handsome oversized chrono is by far the biggest bargain on the list, and the opportunity it affords to give each admirer a mini history lesson is just icing on the cake. The saddle leather strap will only get better with age, but caveat emptor: at 47mm, this is one big watch.
Santos-Dumont, 31.4mm stainless steel case, navy alligator leather strap. The Santos, Cartier’s style icon, was first introduced in 1904 and became not only a Cartier signature but also one of the defining wristwatch designs of the 20th century. The latest iteration takes the full Santos-Dumont moniker and steers the line in a new direction — thinner, smaller and more affordable. Key to that is its slimline quartz movement, which may offend the more mechanically minded, but in the flesh it barely registers because of the absence of the tell-tale ticking seconds hand of a quartz movement. It helps too that Cartier is claiming a punchy six-year battery life. The larger of the two models announced is only 31.4mm wide, although feels larger on the wrist, and is just 7mm thick. Mounted on a navy alligator hide strap, it’s chic, dressy and a lusty addition to the Santos canon.

Keep your lunch cold on the way to work, or flip it to hot to maintain that soup’s temperature until it’s time to eat. Whatever your use is, we can sympathize with “enjoying” food you’ve brought from A to B when it’s far too gone from the desired temperature range. Cooluli Mini Fridge Electric Cooler is able to keep food warm past the food safety standard setting, being over 140 F (warmer can go up to 144 F). This cooler also comes with an AC//DC adapter, so you can drag it from the countertop in the morning, and throw it right into your car. Switch it to the USB port, and you’re good to go. The entire thing is energy-efficient, especially when you slide this one-of-a-kind tool into eco mode. As one of the best car accessories for men who have a long day ahead, you can’t deny the uses you’re going to get out of this.
“Sous vide” is a process in which you vacuum-seal something — say, a steak — in a plastic bag, then immerse it in a hot water bath for a long time. This low-and-slow cooking method results in amazingly tender and juicy meat. Anova’s Nano Precision Cooker takes the guesswork out by connecting to your smartphone via an app, and alerting you when your food is ready. Plus, the app has recipes and tips from Serious Eats, one of the better cooking sites online. The Bluetooth-only Nano, Anova’s newest model, is smaller than the original, yet has better on-device controls, and heats water and cooks your food just as fast.
