The New Executive Starter Kit
For decades now, the surefire way to project that crystal clear corner-office image has been to get the big German sedan and the regal watch and hire your first wealth manager. That’s still pretty much true, but the brands are shifting. The new move is Audi—the RS 7 takes the sedan to deranged levels (174 mph!). And Cartier might be best known for making women melt, but its Drive is masculine as hell and sits as nicely on your wrist as the RS 7 does in your new reserved parking spot.
$49,500 / Case: Platinum / Manufactured: Glashütte, Germany / Power Reserve: 72 hours
$124,000 / 0–60 MPH: 2.8 seconds (in Ludicrous mode) / Range: 265 miles / Touchscreen: Huge
If You’ve Got a Taste For Disruption
Do the fusty tastes of the establishment make you retch? If so, this pairing’s for you (and any newly minted Silicon Valley billionaire). Germany’s A. Lange & Söhne has detonated the once ironclad wisdom that said if it’s not Swiss, it’s second-tier. And Tesla has exploded the assumption that if it doesn’t run on gas, it runs (and looks) like a Prius. The P90D even has a supercharge setting that’s called Ludicrous mode. (High five, Elon Musk.)
Good For Steamrollering The Competition
Picnic date on a glacier? Strap on your IWC and hop in your Range Rover Autobiography. Both are as rugged as tanks, without any of the rough edges. The inside of this Range is more like the interior of a Bentley, with handstitched leather seats and an actual-factual mini-fridge. The IWC Mark XVIII, meanwhile, is as sturdy as it is beautiful—and is resistant to temperature, water, and magnetism, too.
$144,995 / Wading Depth: 35.4 inches / Interior Speakers: 29 / Mini-Fridge: Included
$3,950 / Water Resistance: Splash-proof / Origin: Royal Air Force pilots / Strap: Santoni calfskin
Put Your Office In The RearviewYou’re doing it right if you can break out a Daytona and an oversexed Italian sports car when you’re off the clock. Especially when the watch is a 1968 “Paul Newman” Daytona—the holy grail of vintage Rolex collecting. Newman supposedly got one when he took up racing, which is exactly what you’ll want to do with the 4C Spider—an aggressively styled, superbly nimble, and very, very quick car.

About $200,000 / Year: 1968 / Reference I.D.: 6241 / Rarity: Extremely high
