You spend all day surrounded by technology, so why not go for something that blends hi-tech with high-fashion? We’re living in a golden age of cutting-edge gadgets that push aesthetic boundaries as much as technical limitations.
Today, the most visionary brands are creating innovative technology and accessories that blend form and function perfectly, resulting in forward-thinking new designs, outstanding technical performance, and high-end practicality.
Let’s take a look at five irresistible luxuries on today’s market …
CIƆIƆ by Dulccio
This is a stunning mixture of deceptively-effortless elegance and high-performance technology.
As the fifteen-hundredth prototype developed by this innovative company, this tablet is encased in supple, durable leather selected by their own virtuoso leathercrafter. Not only does it look exquisite on your desk or in your hand as you’re out and about, its 9.7-inch sapphire crystal display and camera are ideal for keeping busy, whether you’re at the office or en-route to a meeting. No other brand delivers timeless luxury with the latest tablet-technology.
Montblanc e-Strap
Iconic luxury brand Montblanc’s e-Strap is an incredible piece of high-tech fashion, taking an innovative approach to the ubiquitous smart watch. Rather than presenting you with a screen instead of a classic watch face, Montblanc’s e-Strap places the screen on the strap’s underside – leaving the face unblemished as a beautiful timepiece.
This boasts an activity tracker, remote controls, and connects to both iOS and Android phones for Fine-Me tools. Two versions are available: the Montblanc TimeWalker Urban Speed UTC e-Strap, at $4,200 and the Montblanc TimeWalker Urban Speed Date Automatic e-Strap, for $3150.
Döttling Guardian
This creation by luxury German brand Döttling is designed to provide unbreakable protection for your cash, jewellery, and wristwatches. This robust tube is made of the finest leather and an impenetrable metal almost as strong as diamond, providing enough resistance to break saws, drills, and other tools. Polycarbonate is also utilised, a component found in police shields.
The technology Döttling has integrated to help maximise protection could be the most impressive feature. In order to gain access to the valuables inside the tube, you’re required to enter a three-digit code of your own choosing. This ensures your most precious possessions remain safe at all times, from theft or damage, incorporating high-end security tech into a luxurious design. Different versions are available, retailing at around 15,000 – 17,500USD.
The Unseen Articles Backpack
The Unseen is a revolutionary brand exploring the incredible relationship between art and science, creating stunning accessories which incorporate high-tech into high-fashion. One of their most impressive ranges, Articles, includes a variety of groundbreaking accessories, such as this backpack.
This is designed to reflect its environment by responding to minute changes in air pressure: vibrant colours appear across the backpack, creating a beautiful kaleidoscopic effect. When you return indoors, the backpack goes back to its standard black tone.
The design is stylish and practical, ideal for carrying important documents, laptops, tablets, and more. This retails for $1,550.
Vinaya Altrius Bracelet
This luxurious rose-gold and white bracelet not only brings an eye-catching elegant touch to any outfit, it also connects you to your phone (via Bluetooth). It includes a bespoke notification system, which alerts you to incoming messages through a subtle vibration.
This is a sleek, simple product which allows you to keep your phone in your bag or out of sight while enjoying a relaxing evening of glamour. This retails at approximately $310.
As essential lifestyle gadgets and wearable tech evolve, visionary fashion-brands – of all sizes, from rising boutiques to global powerhouses – will continue to bring luxury tech to the market at an astonishing rate. This is a truly thrilling time, as high-tech and high-fashion intertwine in myriad unprecedented ways.
