Bryan Edwards023-in-1
[__Patagonia Women’s Tres Down Parka | $529__](http://www.patagonia.com/us/product/womens-tres-waterproof-down-parka?p=28406-0) Snuggle into the Tres Parka's quilted, down-filled inner coat on frigid days and the chill will disappear. If the forecast calls for sleet, add the outer shell. In the warmer spring showers, wear the shell by itself. The 3-in-1 construction will make you the queen of all seasons.
Bryan Edwards03rod
[__Sage Accel Fly Rod | $595__](http://www.sageflyfish.com/blog/07/2014/accel-fly-rod-series/) Fly fishing rods can be described by their "action," the speed with which they respond to your movements. Some anglers like fast action, others like it slow. Sage's new Accel is designed for those who want something in between. It's quick enough to set a hook, but not so rapid that the overenthusiastic among us pluck the fly from the fish's mouth.
Stephanie Gonot04transporter
__Transporter | $730__ Liven up your stage show with one of magic's most enduring tricks. The key to performing the illusion of "The Transported Man" is this electronic device designed by Nikolai Tesla. It ships in its own discreet, trapezoidal box to keep it hidden from snooping rivals.
Bryan Edwards05crescendo-speaker
[__MartinLogan Crescendo Speaker | $800__](http://amzn.com/B00JBCCMVS) This 100-watt wedge of sonic perfection gives you six ways to play: Bluetooth, AirPlay, USB, wired Ethernet, optical, and a 3.5mm jack. Whatever method you choose, your tunes are beautifully presented by the 5x7-inch woofer and two folded-ribbon tweeters.
Stephanie Gonot | Set By Adi Goodrich06mission-bike
[__Mission Bicycle Company Lumen | $1300 and up__](https://www.missionbicycle.com/store/lumen-bike-deposit) For an urban cyclist, nighttime visibility is paramount. The retro-reflective coating on the frame and rims of Mission Bicycle's Lumen bike contain microscopic spheres that reflect light outwards when blasted by a set of headlights.
Bryan Edwards07fuji
[__Fujifilm X-T1 | $1199__](http://amzn.com/B00HYAL88W) Fuji's shooters are beloved by purists for their manual controls, excellent color reproduction, and advanced digital viewfinders. The X-T1 combines all of those attributes in a handsome, weather-sealed body. Choose from a bevy of interchangeable lenses to snag the perfect shot.
Bryan Edwards08stratocaster
[__Fender 60th Anniversary Commemorative Stratocaster | $1500__](http://www.fender.com/guitars/stratocaster/60th-anniversary-commemorative-stratocaster-maple-fingerboard-2-color-sunburst/) When Leo Fender's new guitar debuted in 1954, nobody could have predicted the depth of its impact on modern music. The chosen axe of countless revolutionaries -- Hendrix, Holly, Dylan, Clapton -- the Strat's legacy is unassailable. Aren't you next on the list?
Bryan Edwards09sound-scape
[__Paradigm Soundscape | $1500__](http://www.paradigm.com/products-current/collection=shift/model=soundscape/page=overview) A cramped apartment is no reason to suffer poor audio. This soundbar's built-in amp pushes out 50 watts of peak power to its four woofers and three tweeters. The result is punchy and immersive soundtracks for your movies and TV shows that rivals many multi-speaker home cinema setups.
Bryan Edwards10OD-11-speaker
[__Teenage Engineering OD-11 Cloud Speaker | $900__](http://www.teenageengineering.com/od-11) Swedish audio engineer Stig Carlsson is responsible for some of the most iconic speakers from the '60s and '70s. This resurrected version of his up-firing OD-11 has been modernized with new internals and the ability to stream music. Stick it in a corner, call up your favorite Spotify playlist with the free app, and soak in the scandinavian hi-fi sound.
Stephanie Gonot11hamilton-watch
__[Hamilton Khaki Pilot](http://www.hamiltonwatch.com/collection/khaki/aviation) | $945__ Before microprocessors conquered the cockpit, astronauts relied partly on wristwatches to get home safely. The simple utility of the aviator's watch is exemplified by this Hamilton timepiece. The self-winding movement is resistant to magnetic fields and works even in zero gravity -- even if you're jumping through wormholes.
Bryan Edwards12oracle-espresso
[__Breville Oracle Espresso Machine | $1999__](http://www.brevilleusa.com/the-oracle.html) Pulling a perfect shot of espresso takes practice. Pulling a perfect shot of espresso consistently takes even more practice. Thankfully, the Oracle automates the tricky bits -- grinding, dosing, tamping, and milk texturizing -- leaving you free to concentrate on your latte art.
SMEG13fridge
[__SMEG Fridge | $2000__](http://www.westelm.com/products/mrk-smeg-refrigerator-blue-d674/) LED lights, touchscreens...Evernote? Modern fridges have come down with a serious case of feature bloat. Not the SMEG. This refreshing dose of '50s simplicity has only the most sensible modern additions (adjustable shelving, an inner freezer, an energy-efficient design) and none of the wacky ones (a baby monitor).
Stephanie Gonot | Set By Adi Goodrich14milkman-amp
[__Milkman Creamer Amplifier | $2600__](http://milkmansound.com/amplifiers/creamer) Partly based on a 1960s Fender Princeton Reverb—a legendary single-speaker amp—the 20-watt Milkman is wired and assembled by hand, and sounds damn near perfect. It has all the tone of its 40-year-old cousin (including improved vibrato and reverb controls) but with the quality and reliability of a modern machine.
Bryan Edwards15mcintosh
[__McIntosh Headphone Amplifier | $4500__](http://www.mcintoshlabs.com/us/Products/pages/ProductDetails.aspx?CatId=newproducts&ProductId=MHA100) Wander into the listening room of any well-to-do audiophile and you’re bound to encounter the soft blue glow of a McIntosh. And while it’s nice watching the VU meters on this headphone-dedicated amp do their hypnotizing decibel dance, it’s nothing compared to hearing the amazing clarity the company’s hand-wound components and onboard digital audio converter inject into all your music.
Stephanie Gonot | Set By Adi Goodrich16top
__Top | $5328__ The current record for the longest amount of time a spinning top has stayed in motion is 7 hours, 1 minute, and 14 seconds. And while this top is quite pricey, it could be your ticket to fame: Under the correct circumstances, it will stay spinning forever.
Little Guy17trailer
[__Little Guy Trailer | $7168__](http://www.golittleguy.com/model?id=40&model=4-Wide-Platform)There is only one real solution to the road-tripper’s crippling fear of bedbugs: BYOBed. But that doesn’t mean you need to tow a tour bus. The Little Guy is … little. Small enough that a Smart car can haul it around. Inside, there’s a full-size bed, and you can add comforts like a mini kitchen and A/C.
Sony18projector
__[Sony VPL-VW600ES Projector](http://store.sony.com/4k-home-theater-es-projector-with-200-000-1-contrast-ratio-hd-upscaling-zid27-VPLVW600ES/cat-27-catid-all-tv-home-theater-projectors) | $15000__ Thought *Star Trek Into Darkness* was just OK? Obviously you didn’t see it in 4K. Bring out all the sharpness and color depth in your favorite flicks with Sony’s cinema-quality 4K projector. It outputs a supernova-bright 1,700 lumens and has a 200,000:1 contrast ratio for blacks as deep as antimatter. 1080p content gets upscaled automatically. Spock’s sideburns never looked so pointy.
Stephanie Gonot | Set By Adi Goodrich19exp-watch
[__A. Lange & Sohn Saxonia Automatic | $20,000__](http://www.alange-soehne.com/timepieces/saxonia/#saxonia-automatic/introduction/380-026) When watch nerds argue about the world's best timepieces, Lange is always in the conversation. The Saxonia is a good example of why. Inside the 7.8-millimeter-thick case is a hand-built, self-winding movement that’s only 3.7 millimeters tall. Outside, the design is all class—it doesn’t scream “HEDGE FUND” but still slides neatly under a bespoke French cuff.
Chevrolet20chrystler
[__Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat | $60,000__](http://www.drivesrt.com/2015/challenger-srt-hellcat/) Every automaker in the world hates Dodge right now. Why? The Charger SRT Hellcat. The four-door family sedan packs a supercharged V-8 good for 707 horsepower and 204 mph. Those are Ferrari numbers, but that’s not what’s sticking in everyone’s craw. The $60,000 sticker price is. It’s the best horsepower-per-dollar ratio on the road.
