GOLDEN DREAMS IPHONE
An iPhone is only bested by an iPhone that's engraved in gold and diamond.

Limited to five units each, these palm goodies look regal in polished Missisippi alligator.

CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN LOAFERS
Branded as the Daddy Panama loafer, the shoe is crafted from Panama-woven cotton fabric and is held together by a delicate tassle detailing. With a sharp black and gold animal print, this daddy is designed to rule the runway.

BREGUET MARINA ROYALE
The brand that unleashes its whimsical timepieces on Switzerland's watch fairs every year, has now re-incarnated its nautical stunner from 2009 in solid white gold. The nucleus creates an optical illusion of ocean waves in handengraved silvered gold. The aquatic spirit is further played up by the blued roman numerals and luminous dots. Studded with 36 jewels, the timepiece embodies Breguet's ornamental charm. Giving it a virile edge, there's an alarm that promises immaculate functioning, even 300 metres under water.

GIVENCHY PLAY SPORT
Some men lead by principle, others just smell great. The new musk-based fragrance from Givenchy has been spiced with amyrs wood and pepper notes. To even out these heady tones, there are slight hints of lemon leaf and mint that leave you smelling good through the day. Whiff to believe.

SAMSUNG INTERACTIVE TV
Samsung's new smart TVs enable you to experience over 1,500 apps through the new Smart Hub that features a simple and more personable user interface.

WESTINGHOUSE KETTLE
Aptly titled 'the modern classic kettle', this features a sturdy stainless steel body and an old-world ceramic handle. The rotatable base makes sure your cord is rolled up inside and doesn't spoil its elegant finish. A 1.7-litre capacity makes sure there's always something warm in your cuppa and an automatic off capability makes brewing a breeze. Switch it on and watch your cubicle turn into a retro cafe.
Price Rs 4,490
ETRO SS12 LEATHER BAG
Nothing short of a leather invasion, this holdall from ETRO is a symmetric patchwork of crocodile, cowhide and camel skin. The faded strips of blue, grey and green give it both vibrance and depth. Quite a bagful.
