Dutch designer Marcel Wanders has created the Grandfather Clock, a limited-edition timepiece for French fine silver flatware and home accessories company Christofle.

The state-of-the-art mechanical clock is notable for its oversized proportions and nature-inspired silver etchwork with interlaced leaves, curled fleurs-de-lys blossoms and decorative apples set against a geometric matrix reminiscent of a lush Jardin d’Eden. The clock is part of an exclusive edition of 50, and the owner can customise the three internal clocks to different cities. Wanders will bring the clock to Downtown Design Dubai at the end of October, with three pieces exclusively available to buyers from the Middle East.

Sennheiser

Sennheiser will launch the newest addition to its cabled 500 Series headphones later this month – an ideal purchase for the audiophile purists who are not sold on the wireless headphones and earbuds trend. The HD 599 offers an open around-the-ear design in a matte ivory colour, with a matte metallic deco ring on the ear cup and brown stitching on the headband sleeve. Soft, replaceable ear pads accompany the new headphones, which feature a 35 millimetre, 50 ohm transducer, a three-metre detachable cable and a 6.3mm jack. Also included are a 1.2-metre detachable cable with a 3.5mm jack; a 6.3mm to 3.5mm jack adaptor; and a two-year warranty. Several models will be released alongside the HD 599, including the HD 579, 569 and 559. The HD 599 is priced at Dh999.

Tiffany & Co

"There's a feeling that you can achieve more in a minute in New York, than anywhere else," Jon King, executive vice president of Tiffany & Co, told Luxury magazine last year. The idea of the New York minute – which is "richer, deeper, fuller and faster" – is central to Tiffany & Co's CT watch collection, which has been extended to include two new models. The Tiffany CT60 Bicolor features a fitted bracelet of stainless steel and 18k rose gold, and a bezel and crown in 18k rose gold. The model is offered in three variations: a 42mm chronograph, and 40mm and 34mm three-hand versions. The dial has a white soleil finish and gold poudré, or powder-dusted, numbers, while the three-hand versions have a white flinqué enamel finish. The Tiffany CT60 Dual Time includes a second time zone with red accents. One design offers a 40mm case, in 18k rose gold or stainless steel, with a white soleil finish, gold poudré numerals and a black alligator-skin strap. A second model, with a stainless steel case and bracelet, and a dial with a blue soleil finish and gold poudré numerals, is also available.

Samsung x de Grisogono

It is little secret that luxury brands are jumping on the smartwatch bandwagon. Most recently, Samsung has collaborated with de Grisogono to create the Samsung Gear S2 smartwatch, a piece tailored very specifically for female wearers. The timepiece is available with a digital white or black face, and features a galuchat leather strap accompanied by a blackened-steel, triple-folding clasp. The blackened steel case comprises a gold bezel and push buttons, 56 white diamonds on the turning bezel, 28 black diamonds on the top bezel and 43 black diamonds on the sides. Digital elements include an accelerometer, a voice recorder, gyroscope, heart-rate monitor and barometer, in addition to Wi-Fi. You can use the smartwatch to listen to music, check the weather, take phone calls and photographs, and reply to text messages. As the watch offers an edgier look, the Samsung Gear S2 is ideal for women who prefer a slightly less feminine-looking timepiece.

Ferrari

Ferrari's latest four-seater offering, the GTC4Lusso, references several of its illustrious predecessors, including the 330 GTC, its 2+2 sister model, the 330 GT, and the 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso. The GTC4Lusso offers a touch more horsepower from its V12 engine and reaches 0 to 100kph in 3.4 seconds, with a top speed of 335kph. In a nod to the FF, the first Ferrari suited to rough terrain, this new model offers a predictive all-wheel-drive system, allowing all four wheels to propel the car forward and enabling it to turn as quickly as it can accelerate. A lowering of the roofline emphasises the vehicle's sportiness, while still providing enough room to fit four occupants. Other highlights include a luggage compartment with ample space and Ferrari's signature twin rear lights. The interior features a more compact steering wheel, the result of a smaller airbag; a new Rain Light AntiFogging Solar Sensor; a climate-control system that achieves the desired temperature 25 per cent faster; and an LCD touchscreen.
