Getting A-“round”

The Motorized Monocycle by Hammacher Schlemmer is an inspired head-turner that draws upon a history of development stemming back to 1869 in Marseilles, France. Powered by a 31cc, four stroke 1½ –hp engine, it propels a single rider—who sits comfortably on a cushioned seat with convenient footrests—up to 25 mph. Steered by leaning from side to side, it safely negotiates any dense surface with a finger throttle that provides progressive acceleration and a brake for confident stops. Runs up to two hours on less than a half gallon of gasoline. Check out the website to see the video—it’s a hoot! $12,999.95. Available at Hammacher Schlemmer, 800-321-1484,

The Art of Shaving
The innovative Gillette Fusion Chrome Collection Shaving Set with Fine Badger Brush is an exceptional blend of ergonomics and style. The power razor’s gentle micro-pulses help reduce friction and increase glide, and a built-in spotlight (the first of its kind) reveals details to help avoid missed spots. The elegant stand efficiently drains water away and maintains the handle properly between uses. The brush generates a rich, warm lather, bringing sufficient water to the skin as it softens and lifts the beard, gently exfoliating for a close and comfortable shave. $400. Available at The Art of Shaving Shops and www.theartofshaving.com.

 

Daring Precision

“Those who dare, win”—a bold, unconventional philosophy that has inspired the Mauboussin Delit in the tradition of defiant personal adventure. In the dial, priority is given to stylized Roman numerals in allusion to clocks of the ‘30s. Round-shaped counters evoke a sport-chic look, with sword-like hands in a very Vendome style. An engraved deployment buckle, a transparent case back, and an automatic Swiss ETA movement under the dial complete this timely piece. Mauboussin assumes its forward movement in fashion and prestige. $32,750. Available at Mauboussin, 714 Madison Ave., 212-752-4300.
