Braun BN0279 Center Seconds + Sub-Seconds Limited Edition Watches for Hodinkee

There isn’t much more to say than these two limited edition watches from Braun and Hodinkee—their first collaboration—are everything you’d expect them to be. Limited to 100 pieces each, the classic model is available in either a Center Seconds or Sub-Seconds edition. Sleek, simple, elegant, not flashy, it’s a great daily driver and one that doesn’t bring too much attention to your wrist (in all the right ways). Inspired by Braun’s AW10 and AW50 watches, the stainless steel watch is 40mm.

BIG COLOR

We love when CH readers send us their work. Artist Nate Nettleton shared his latest project, an ongoing series inspired by Pantone’s Color of the Year. Starting with the program’s launch in 2000, he’s created one work for each year, showing both the Color of the Year as well as its circular gradient opposite. Printed on 300gsm cotton rag matte paper, the works are available as single editions in 24″ x 30″  and 40″ x 50″; 16″ x 20″ prints have editions corresponding to the color’s release year—1 for the 2000 color, 25 for the 2024 color, etc.

Cityverse Sneaker

Introduced earlier this month, the Cityverse is lululemon’s foray into casual sneakers. We’ve tested them thoroughly and are impressed with their comfort, support and versatility. A soft foam molded insole conforms nicely to your foot and the grippy outsole sticks well to most surfaces, wet or dry. With a basic casual-yet-sporty look they can be dressed up or down and given they’re resilient enough to exercise in they’re a perfectly versatile travel shoe for those of us who prefer to carry less. The Cityverse is available in both womens and mens fits and sizes with a few launch colorways and surely more to come.

Genio Della (Frozen) Pizza

When we think of single-minded passion, vision and dedication, pizza chef and restauranteur Anthony Mangieri ranks high on our list. His celebrated Una Pizza Napoletana in NYC offers pizza in its purest form, perfectly cooked in a wood fired oven. You can’t always make it to your favorite pizzeria for a quality pie, and frustrated by the current frozen pizza offerings he took the challenge upon himself to create not just an acceptable, but an exceptional, frozen pizza. Made in Italy, Genio Della Pizza is now available in four traditional pies—Margherita, Marinara, Bianco, Broccoli Rabe. Pies use only the best, and most minimal ingredients, just like at the restaurant. Visit to find retailers near you, order locally on Fresh Direct, DashMart, GoPuff and Feed, or for national delivery on Goldbelly.

Expanding Dental Floss In a Refillable Dispenser + Refill

We’ve tried just about every brand of all-natural floss, packaged in paper or glass, and have not yet found a product that does the job. And though there are several great innovations in paper and glass packaging, we found that paper didn’t wear well in our travel kit. Then we tried Davids, and while it’s not perfectly eco-friendly it performs very well and makes every effort with currently available materials. It starts with the floss, which is made with polyester from recycled water bottles. The rest of the few ingredients include vegan wax, coco butter and essential mint oils. Importantly, the expanding floss performs extremely well, and in our tests rarely breaks (the main issue with all natural fiber options). Then there’s the plastic case, which is lightweight, well-engineered and easily refilled. If you aren’t familiar with the brand’s toothpaste, which comes in aluminum tubes, it’s also our top pick.

P1 Poles

Finally, someone felt it was time to make ski poles better. Magnetized handles so they stick together when you want them to, 3D-knit straps that keep their form, making it easier to get your hands through, an optional GoPro mount for the top of your poles, and customizable colors (for the same price). Yardsale’s P1 poles may not meet the needs of very advanced, professional or specialized skiers, but they definitely meet the needs of nearly everyone else. Affordable, well-built, and designed with a smile, they’re an easy way to up your style and performance on the slopes.

First Fix Stress Response Serum

Made by hand in a lab on a farm an hour outside of London, founder and skin care specialist Annee de Mamiel marries the best of Western science and Eastern medicine to create a range of skin care products focused on treating the impact of stress. There are many products we’re fond of, but the First Fix Stress Response Serum is a great place to start your discovery of this unique brand. The serum, 13 years in the making, considers both the causes and the effects of stress on your facial skin, with proprietary natural ingredients like Neurophroline, an extract from wild indigo. A combination of prebiotics, hyaluronic acid, oils and other proven ingredients, it packs a lot into a single pump’s worth that your skin will thank you for. Yes, it’s expensive—an unfortunate result of using all-natural ingredients alongside specialty product volumes—but we haven’t tried anything we’ve liked more.
