If James Bond was in line for the new Aston Martin DBS then you can be sure that he’d plump for the special, limited edition Jaeger LeCoultre wristwatch on offer to those that buy the top of the line 510bhp model.

After all, this is no normal watch. While it doesn’t have a laser beam for cutting through sheet metal or an in-built garrotte attached to the winder, it will unlock and start your new £150,000 Aston Martin for you. How Bond is that? The engineers actually shrank the electronics inside the DBS transponder to fit in the watch. The casing and the innards are comprised of over 200 tiny parts each and it comes in titanium or rose-gold.

Oh yeah, Aston Martin are not throwing it in as a freebie for buying the car. It will set you back a cool, £17,500. Still, if you’re paying £150,000 on a car…..-Martin Lynch

Troja Arc Lamp Is Sexier Than Most Women September 12, 2007

The Troja Arc Lamp is so gorgeous it's practically edible. The huge, arcing lamp is designed by Germany's hansandfranz studio and uses hundreds of individual LEDs in an adjustable aluminum frame to create a soft, unobtrusive glow. There is no information yet as to whether the Troja Arc will be available any time soon (or at all), the only thing that's known is that it's a must-have if you're a brooding, warehouse-living artist with obscene amounts of space and a flare for the dramatic. -Yuri Baranovsky
