The newest jewelry collection from Reinstein/Ross Goldsmiths features multicolored cuff links, earrings, and pendants that celebrate American ingenuity and originality. The jewelry’s “gems” are hewn from Fordite, a stone-like material with a fascinating backstory: Prior to the invention of electrostatic painting in the 1970s, cars were hand-sprayed, which meant that large amounts of paint deposited on the walls, pipes, and floors of the paint bays then hardened as the cars were baked at extremely high temperat…

For decades, Mortlach has remained one of Scotland’s fabled yet elusive single malts. Highly revered for its big, meaty profile, the whisky has come to be called the Beast of Dufftown, and until last year it was only available periodically in the form of limited editions from independent bottlers and occasionally the distillery itself. Much of the production was earmarked for blends, such as the Johnnie Walker Black, Platinum, and Blue Labels. But thanks to a momentous decision on the part of Diageo, the disti…

If the walls in this Great Neck, N.Y., home could talk, they would have legendary stories to tell. The seven-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bathroom home of F. Scott Fitzgerald, where the author first began writing The Great Gatsby, is now available for $3.9 million. Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda, rented the home from October 1922 until April 1924 during which time Fitzgerald wrote three chapters of his famous novel in a room over the garage. The couple routinely socialized with their wealthy neighbors, many of whom…

For anyone with superhero aspirations, the Ripsaw EV2 luxury super tank is a good start. Created by the Maine-based brothers Mike and Geoffrey Howe of Howe and Howe Technologies, the Ripsaw EV2 (Extreme Vehicle 2), is the ultimate conveyance for those who want to conquer the toughest terrain in complete comfort. First developed for the U.S. military, the Ripsaw has been revamped for civilian use (sorry, the big guns are gone) but remains the fastest dual-tracked vehicle ever produced.

Equipped with a 600 hp…

An evolution of speed and style.

The E in the name of the Mangusta 165 E is short for “evolution,” but it could also stand for “enhanced.” The yacht is essentially an upgraded version of the Italian shipyard’s 165-foot maxi open, the first example of which was delivered in 2007 and featured in Robb Report’s Best of the Best issue in 2008. The first 165 E hull debuted at the Monaco Yacht Show in September and has been christened Moonraker.

The British automaker Bentley—synonymous with style and comfort—commissioned four esteemed Savile Row tailors to create their own interpretations of the classic driving jacket as part of a Washington, D.C., exhibit titled Savile Row and America: A Sartorial Special Relationship. The iconic brands Dege & Skinner, Gieves & Hawkes, Henry Poole, and Huntsman drew inspiration from the company’s past (including the styles worn by the early-20th-century amateur racers known as the Bentley Boys) and present to…

Opened last July, the Mandarin Oriental, Bodrum (mandarinoriental.com), sits on a prime Turkish Riviera beach between the pine-covered hills just outside of Türkbükü and the preternaturally calm waters of the Aegean Sea.

Off-white Turkish rugs and other Anatolian decor…

Starting in July, visitors to St. Lucia’s Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort, can explore the Caribbean in a whole new way when the property becomes the first in the world to offer outings on the S1 water bike from Schiller Sports. Inventor Judah Schiller, who was the first person to bike across San Francisco Bay and the Hudson River, designed the unique water toy. It is made from lightweight, super-strong titanium, and blends bicycle and catamaran technologies to create a pedal-driven personal watercraft on pontoo…

Few sedans are as alluring as the Aston Martin Rapide S (astonmartin.com), and considering the car’s looks, agility, and speed, it is no wonder that the company’s designers insist on calling it a four-door sports car instead of a sedan. The new model has received a significant performance boost over the original, which was launched in 2013. The new 8-?speed automatic transmission provides crisp, perfectly timed shifts and is paired with a retuned 5.9-liter V-12 that produces slightly more power than it did …
