Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch
OMEGA has reintroduced one of its most iconic timepieces, “The First OMEGA in Space,” now featuring a modern Co-Axial Master Chronometer upgrade. This watch pays tribute to OMEGA’s space exploration heritage, originally launched in 1959 as the CK 2998. It was distinguished by its slender Alpha hands, symmetrical case, and dark bezel, which were different from the first Speedmaster of 1957. Notably, NASA astronaut Wally Schirra wore the CK 2998 on the Sigma 7 mission in 1962, earning its nickname.
The updated version retains its classic design with a 39.70 mm stainless steel case, black aluminium tachymeter bezel, and a grey-blue CVD-coated dial. It features vintage-inspired elements like Super-LumiNova-filled hands and dual OMEGA logos. A Seahorse medallion and engravings celebrate its historical significance.
Driven by the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861, the watch offers top-tier precision and magnetic resistance. Available in three versions, it can be paired with leather straps or a full metal bracelet.

Kenkō – Set B Walnut
The Berlin brand Kenkō manufactures beautiful fitness products from their workshop on the southern, lush green outskirts of the German capital. Their creations are showcased and sold in their brand-new, minimalist design studio in the art gallery district of Berlin-Mitte.
The brand champions a return to the natural form, using materials such as walnut or maple wood alongside cork and polished stainless steel in geometrical shapes.
From individual sports equipment to larger sets, our favourite has to be the ‘Set B' in Walnut. It includes their 1 kg dumbbell set, their range of expanders, their maple push-up devices, and the Kenkō cork and steel massage ball (which can be filled with warm water for extra soothing post-workout recovery) — all housed in a stylish maple wood storage system that goes well in any room.
Ulysse Martel — Olympia Dumbbell
Ulysse Martel is a creative consultancy based in Switzerland headed by its eponymous designer and architect Candice Joyce Blanc, who also created these futuristic, pearlescent pieces of home sports equipment. This Olympia set consists of a trio of dumbbells, push-up bars and a two-handed dumbbell.
The equipment’s design process drew inspiration from the pursuit of bodily perfection against a backdrop of scientific progression and genetics, which, according to the designers, will soon leave the dream of physical perfection “superfluous”.
Architectural in their lines and crafted from pearlescent lacquered steel reminiscent of early millennial car tuning, “left to rest, these dumbbells become genuine sculptures,” says Martel. Winner of the 2020 German Design Awards, the project was carried out in Switzerland and is available at Nov Gallery in Geneva. Here’s hoping they enter a more large-scale production soon…
maxwall – Classic Wall Bars
The clue is in the name: a classic wall-mounted gym designed with both beauty and practicality as waypoints. “I have used my knowledge as a designer and personal trainer in the development of the maxwall,” says Max Kant, CEO, and designer of the maxwall, from his base in Berlin’s Prenzlauer Berg.
The core product is crafted from beech wood, light or dark oiled, with polished steel or brass fittings. However, you can also add a bench, dip bars and grip sets to optimize your workout. It is an essential understated, yet elegant addition to your workout space and home.
