Deep Pockets
The Arceau Duc Attele pocket watch has Herms-made leather surrounding an 18-carat white gold watch hand-engraved with details from a drawing by Alfred de Dreux on the face. It's finished with a natural white mother-of-pearl dial and AR-coated sapphire crystals. A collector's piece, this. You'll need a waistcoat with a fob pocket to really carry it off, though. hermes.com
AUTO High Spirit
You may never have heard of Panoz but that's okay; only the most knowledgeable petrolheads are aware of this small US-based manufacturer. That, however, is about to change with the launch of this extraordinary-looking machine. The Panoz Abruzzo Spirit of Le Mans is a limited-edition, hand-built supercar with enough performance to put the likes of Lamborghini, Ferrari et al to shame. Only 81 will be manufactured (the number of Le Mans races held since the first in 1923). Each of the lucky owners will get a unique chance to drive an 8.3-mile lap at the world famous 24-hour Le Mans race, and be guests of the organisers during race week. panozauto.com

Get Charged
We love our fancy gadgets, but they're just expensive paperweights if they're out of battery. Battery life is the bane of all portable gadgets and that is exactly why Gum Plus is such a must-have. Encased in a pseudo-aluminium casing, this portable power pack is tiny enough to slip in your pocket and delivers juice on the go. It has a mini USB port on one side to charge it, a regular USB port on the other for power output, and an on/off toggle switch on top along with five blinking LEDs to indicate battery status. It comes with a USB charging cable, another one to charge your iPhone or iPod, and a micro fibre pouch. With a 4,400 mAh battery, Gum Plus outputs 1,000 mAh of power. It can charge your iPhone up to 90% capacity in just an hour, and a fully-charged Gum Plus can recharge your iPhone up to four times before it puts its legs up and dies. Rs 3,250, just-mobile.com
