Glashütte Original: The Gentlemen's Corner by Evan Orensten
Celebrating the 500th anniversary of the German city of Glashütte, where watches have been made by the eponymous watchmaker Glashütte Original for more than 160 years, a modest means of celebration seemed in order.
The result is the "Gentlemen's Corner," a luxariously appointed lacquer cabinet that comes complete with five matching, limited edition Glashütte Original timepieces (a Panomatictourbillon, Panomaticchrono, Panomaticvenue, Panomaticreserve and Panomaticlunar, which range in cost from around $5,000 to $100,000 each), five individual watch winders, a humidor with Cohiba Cigars, a DVD player, and a bar with 18 year old Scotch whiskey.
The Glashütte Gentlemen's Corner sells for $210,000. For more information contact Lussori.

Maison Martin Margiela Glass Slippers
Made famous by none other than Cinderella and brought to life by Maison Martin Margiela, the Brothers Grimm fantastical shoe concept now exists, albeit in limited quantities. While Margiela usually plays with reality by repurposing everyday objects (see his Currency Wallets, nail keyring and silver hospital bracelet) rather than turning to fairytales, we can't think of a better designer to execute this shoe. Taking...
