Each week, our inbox runneth over with news of gear, apparel and tech releases from around the world. In this feature, we’ll parse through the best of it. Today: Wrangler drops a quality collab with ROA, Bose releases a second-gen version of their beloved headphones and Port Ellen graces us with an anniversary edition Scotch.

<strong>Port Ellen 200th Anniversary Edition</strong>
Port Ellen 200th Anniversary Edition

The iconic Scotch brand celebrates its bicentenary with a limited edition, 42-year-old single malt. The Islay distillery reopened last year after being closed for over four decades, so this marks the first release since its revival. Matured in European oak casks, this one is a balance of smoke, malt and fruit. It’ll be available starting in October for about $10,000 by appointment only (go here if you’re interested).  

Dennison Dual Time Watches

“Twice the movements, twice the fun” seems to be the commanding design ethos behind Dennison’s latest ALD Dual Time collection, which features a dozen dual-dial 36mm square timepieces and enough ‘80s-esque swagger to fully outfit an entire office of coked-up stockbrokers. Two alternate stylings — a more traditional sub-dial version and a charming split dial — are powered by twin Swiss quartz Ronda movement and are complemented by a host of stone dials in hues like “Tigers Eye” and “Black Sunray.” For under $1,000, they’re one hell of an impression-maker.

Montblanc <strong>Signs & Symbols Editions: The Legend of Zodiacs</strong>

The latest addition to the brand’s celebrated line of premium writing instruments, Montblanc’s new installment of the Signs & Symbols Collector Line features two distinctive zodiac legends as design inspiration, in the form of the horse (Chinese Zodiac of 2026) and the mythical coiling dragon. The limited edition fountain pens — these include a Horse Limited Edition 512 and two Journey Among Dragons iterations — are uniquely engraved with ornate patterning and precious stones and will only set you back $189,000.
