Formed of a black square frame sunglasses with golden metal bridge and arms made from titanium finishing coated in 24-carat gold plating, perhaps it isn’t surprising Linda Farrow’s Luxe Square Sunglasses are carrying such a high asking price, though with a signature hard case box and leather case, the €403 pricetag appears cheap.

Part of capsule collection collaboration between Japanese accessory maker JAM HOME MADE and streetwear specialists CLOT, the Jam Watchless Brace Type 1 is unconventional, mimicking a watch, but without any of the time-telling features. With the usual markers removed, even a textured bezel on the stainless steel build won’t tell you the time. The Jam Watchless Brace Type 1 is available in black, silver and gold variations and retails for $360.

Though they specialise in waterproof footwear, it’s SWIMS other products that more than steal the limelight. Alongside a few daring umbrellas, their 24hr and 28hr Duffel Bags steal the show as the company makes a splash throughout a more exploratory Spring/Summer 2012 collection. Available in brown, blue and orange, they boast similar waterproof technology too, and a big step forward in design, each detailed and strapped using leather.

Part of their ever impressive Spring/Summer 2012 collection, Acne’s Everest Bag steals much of the limelight. A canvas shoulder bag, it’s detailed with leather buckle straps, two side and two interior pockets plus a zippered main compartment. Protective studs will stop it getting too dirty on the bottom, probably a good move as it’ll set you back £260, but then when you look at it, that’s not really that much. Perfect for a dream weekend getaway abroad.

Handcrafted in New York from 100% Italian linen, Pierrepont Hicks’ Jasper bow tie is self-tying and adjustable, some 1 3/4″ at its widest point, and looks incredible. They’ll only set you back $62 too, a bargain in today’s world.

Oliver Peoples frames are pretty much the Holy Grail of optical or sunglass eyewear, so when a new season’s collection comes out it’s a pretty big deal, and their Fall/Winter 2011 crop are something special. As was expected.

Making a stylistic feature of it’s seemingly excessive number of dials, the Grönefeld One Hertz boasts an hours and minutes sub-dial at 2 o’clock, a large sub-dial for the deadbeat seconds spanning much of the face, with a power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock and a setting-winding indicator at 3 o’clock, while its sheer appearance might quickly prove to baffle, you can’t argue it isn’t beautiful. Limited to 20 pieces, and hand-made out of red gold.
