Bell & Ross BR0392 Ceramic Military Watch
Inspired by the instruments inside of a fighter pilot’s cockpit, the Bell & Ross BR0392 Ceramic Military Watch looks like it’s capable of knocking bogies out of the sky with the simple flashing of one’s wrist. The green colorway comes from the camouflage utilized during times of war or when out executing a mission. The use of 100% ceramic construction marks the very first time a chronograph has utilized such a material – making it very resilient and light. The latest from Bell & Ross is available online for €2,990 EUR (approximately $3,981 USD).
Blackhawk Secretary Trunk
Hide your home office in plain sight with the Blackhawk Secretary Trunk ($4,300). Inspired by mid-century aircraft, the Blackhawk is handmade using polished aluminum panels, which are held together with exposed steel screws. Inside, the trunk features a black cotton canvas lining, a multitude of draws and cabinets, a sturdy, fold-down desk surface, and inset drawer pulls. Oh, and it weighs over 500 pounds, so it also doubles as a great thing to roll down the stairs towards encroaching enemies.
Rolex Deepsea Challenge Watch
Planning on visiting the bottom of the sea? Keep track of the hours you spend battling the Kraken with the Rolex Deepsea Challenge Watch ($TBA). Designed for James Cameron's Deepsea Challenger expedition, this unique timepiece features a super-thick body, a black bezel to contrast with the steel case, luminous hands and hour markers, and water resistance down to 12,000 meters, or nearly 40,000 feet, or deep enough that the time should be the least of your concerns.
Ferrari F12 Berlinetta
Yes, it's gorgeous — but it's a Ferrari, so you already knew that. What you didn't know is that you're looking at the fastest Ferrari ever built. The Ferrari F12 Berlinetta ($TBA) is powered by a 6262cc V12 pumping out an insane 740 hp, which is enough to propel the Rosso Berlinetta rocket to 62 mph in just 3.1 seconds, hitting 104 in just 8.5 seconds on its way to a top speed of over 210 mph. Other features — as if they matter — include an all-new spaceframe chassis and body shell made using 12 different kinds of alloys, Active Brake Cooling for keeping those carbon-ceramic brakes in check, the latest version of the magnetorheological suspension control system, and, of course, an F1 dual-clutch transmission. Don't forget to wipe the drool off the screen when you're done.
Third Rock Fire Pit
If you've ever seen the finale of Epcot's fireworks show, then you have some idea of what the Third Rock Fire Pit ($1,700) is about. Although this model doesn't float, shoot roman candles, or sport a slew of LEDs on the outside, it is made from quarter-inch thick carbon steel, and features an iron oxide finish, cutouts of the world's landmasses, an interior coating of high-temperature-resistant paint, and a rain drain on the bottom. Overpriced drinks optional.
Lamborghini Aventador J
If I tried to sell you a car that's missing both its roof and its front windshield, you probably wouldn't be too enthusiastic — until I told you where it came from. The Lamborghini Aventador J ($TBA) is a street legal open-air racer, with two small wind deflectors in place of a normal windshield, and other weight-reducing, speed-increasing features like the lack of an audio, navigation, or HVAC system, Forged Composite seats with inserts made from "Carbonskin" — a new carbon fiber fabric — the same 700-hp 6.5-liter V12 as its standard stablemate, and copious use of lightweight materials throughout. Oh, and there's only one in existence — so good luck getting your hands on the keys. Via: UnCrate
Hot Tub Boat
Every once in a while, we run across a product that's more or less self-explanatory. Such is the case with the Hot Tub Boat ($TBA). Capable of holding six people on the water or eight at the dock, this buoyant soaking tub is powered by an electric motor that pushes you along at a leisurely pace of five-or-so knots, so as to not splash around the water inside — that's your job, after all.
Marshall Amp Fridge
Mix your love of rock with your love of beer in an all new way with the Marshall Amp Fridge ($300). Carrying Jim Marshall's signature logos and facing, and control knobs that go to eleven, you'd be hard pressed to notice it's a fridge, but if you do, inside you'll find 4.4 cubic feet of space, can-specific storage, and a high efficiency freezer. Speaker to play "Cold as Ice" every time you open the door not included.
Arsenal Firearms Double Barrel Pistol
And we thought dual wielding was cool. With the Arsenal Firearms Double Barrel Pistol ($TBA), you can fire two bullets with a single hand. Built in part to commemorate the Colt 1911-A1, this new pistol — given the model number AF2011-A1 — shoots two .45 caliber rounds at a time, accurately, and spaced incredibly close — at 15 yards, both rounds will fit into an orange — yet still manages to use a number of interchangeable internal parts, which can be swapped with standard 1911 replacement parts. Available in silver or black finishes.
