Royal Pop Audemars Piguet and Swatch have launched the Royal Pop, a collection of eight bioceramic pocket watches that merges the design language of Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak with the modular ingenuity of Swatch's POP line from the 1980s. The collection launched on May 16th. The POP system, which long-term Swatch followers will recognize, allows the watch to move between different wearing configurations, including lanyard, wrist-mounted straps, and potentially bag charms, g

The lariat is one of jewelry's oldest silhouettes. A single continuous chain that loops through itself, falls in two strands, and terminates in a drop, it has existed in various forms since the 19th century and has been interpreted and reinterpreted so many times across the history of fine jewelry that finding something genuinely new to say with the format requires more than a different gemstone or a more expensive setting.

Da Milano has been making leather goods in India since 1989, drawing on Italian design sensibility and applying it to materials and craftsmanship that have built the brand a loyal following across more than a hundred boutiques worldwide. The Summer '26 collection is its most considered seasonal offering yet, and it works because it does not try to be one thing.

Winning a design award is one thing. Winning more of them than any other brand in your category across the two most respected design programs in the world is something else entirely. Humanscale, the New York-headquartered ergonomics company, has just claimed that distinction, becoming the most decorated global brand in the office furniture category across the iF and Red Dot Design Awards with 28 wins to date.

The ergonomic chair market has spent years refining the same basic formula. LiberNovo has completely rethought the ergonomic chair, introducing three new models that utilize dynamic ergonomics to move with the user, eliminating the need for manual adjustments.

Home solar energy has always had the same fundamental problem. Panels generate power during the day when the sun is out, but most households need that energy in the evening when it is not, and without a proper storage system, the electricity generated simply feeds back into the grid rather than reducing the bill it was installed to address. Anker SOLIX has built the Solarbank 4 E5000 Pro as a direct answer to that problem, and it is the most powerful and longest-lasting plug-

Most people who own Philips Hue lights bought them because they wanted the best. The colors, the scenes, the bridge, the ecosystem, and the whole considered experience of walking into a room and having the light already know what mood you are in. Hue earned that reputation, and it is not losing it.

Levoit has launched its Windi Mini series, three compact portable fans that take the brand's popular tower fan design and scale it down into something small enough for a desk or bedside table without sacrificing airflow or noise performance.

Garmin has quietly launched two new running watches that punch well above their price bracket. The Forerunner 70 and Forerunner 170 arrive with AMOLED displays, advanced training tools, and adaptive coaching features that until now were reserved for the brand's more expensive lineup, making both watches a genuinely interesting proposition for beginner and aspiring runners who do not want to compromise on capability.

For years, sharper outdoor security footage came with a price premium that most homeowners quietly accepted as the cost of clarity. Ring has now changed that calculation. The brand has just announced two new outdoor cameras, the Spotlight Cam Second Generation and the Floodlight Cam Second Generation, both carrying its Retinal 2K video technology at price points that make the upgrade genuinely accessible for the first time.

YETI built its reputation on keeping things cold. Now it is turning its attention to heat. The brand best known for its bulletproof coolers and insulated drinkware has just launched the Carbon Steel Pan 12, a 12-inch carbon steel skillet that signals how seriously YETI is taking its cookware ambitions.

We have so many sunscreens on our shelf right now that adding another one to the rotation felt entirely unnecessary. There are the fancy Korean ones, the clinical ones, the tinted ones that are half foundation, and a few impulse buys that never quite worked. So when the Oshea Herbals UVShield SPF 50 PA+++ came in for review, the expectations were cautious at best.

I received the Malli Malli moisturizer from Dipsy through AB Comm and have been using it consistently for a little over two weeks, incorporating it into both my morning and evening routine. My skin tends to lean combination, and my concern going in was straightforward: finding a daily moisturizer that hydrates without feeling heavy or leaving a greasy finish, particularly through the warmer part of the day.

In a small city south of Kyoto, the world's most serious cup of tea has been made the same way for eight centuries. What it costs to produce it properly, and why the finest version of it is unlike anything else you will ever drink.

The first is that modern abstract art is doing something real and the people who made it were often thinking very seriously about what they were trying to do. The second is that the market for this art has almost nothing to do with the art itself and operates on entirely different principles. Understanding both parts does not require any particular background in art history. It requires only the willingness to take the question seriously.

After seven years away from the Met Gala, Lena Dunham returned on the host committee in a custom red Valentino by Alessandro Michele that took its inspiration not from a painting's narrative or its composition but from a single drop of blood on a painted neck. Here is everything behind the look.

If you have spent any real time in skincare communities in the last few years, you will have noticed that the conversation around retinol has quietly but significantly shifted, not away from it exactly, because retinol remains the most clinically validated anti-aging ingredient in dermatology and nobody serious about skin is suggesting otherwise, but toward a growing and genuinely complicated conversation about who retinol actually works for and who it leaves behind.

Somewhere in the mountains of southern China, there is a village where women wash their hair in the river with fermented rice water, where hair grows past the floor and stays dark well into the seventies, and where Guinness World Records once showed up with a measuring tape and confirmed what the women already knew.

There is a relationship between art and fashion that has been described so many times and in so many ways that the description itself has become a kind of reflex, something reached for automatically whenever a designer name-drops a painter or a museum stages a collaboration with a luxury house or a runway show is held in a gallery space with catalog essays written by curators who are very careful about how much of their credibility they are lending and to whom.
