Tote Your Technology in Style

By Amanda Gabriele March 28, 2013

Whether used for work, personal projects or just for entertainment, it seems we carry our laptops with us more often than not. And no matter how thin the notebook, we’re always on the search for something slimmer and lighter that takes up the least space possible. Laptop envelopes are great for travel near and far, and there are some seriously sleek styles on the market right now. But there is something to be said about eliminating the bulk of even the thinnest sleeve. We found five tech bags that not only have a padded compartment for your laptop with room to spare for the rest of your essentials, they are incredibly stylish as well.

Crumpler x Apple
Australian bag company Crumpler has partnered with Apple for an exclusive line of MacBook bags that have a sporty look about them. The Cut of Horror Backpack not only holds your 15-inch MacBook Pro, there is a separate padded pocket for an iPad. Water-resistant, your gear will be protected from the elements.

J. Panther Luggage Co.
It doesn’t get more handsome than The Courier Ruc Case, constructed from black grain leather with smooth leather trim. The perfect work portfolio, stash your laptop, iPad, books, keys and phone. Wear it as a cross-body or backpack depending on your mood and look you want.

Topo Designs
Perfect if you ride public transportation or travel often, the slim design of the Sling Bag won’t constantly be bumping into people in close quarters. The inner sleeve for an iPad or small laptop is entirely lined. Wear it messenger style or just slung over one shoulder.

Wheelman & Co.
Available in different sizes for varying tech storage needs, the E. Homes Laptop Case also has a special compartment for your charger. We love the roll-top design in rustic brown leather.

Herschel Supply Co.
A tried and true favorite bag brand, we could never get enough of Herschel. And the Heritage Plus backpack has everything we love and more with fully padded, fleece-lined laptop and iPad compartments plus a mesh organizer, perfect for stashing easy-to-reach essentials. Leather details give a classic shape a grown-up feel.

Although watches tend can come in various colors and designs, they are timeless and elegant. These sleek accessories have earned their spot in all wardrobes as they make for the perfect touch to any look and make for a wonderful collection to start. However, when it comes to the overall make and model of watches, it’s rare to see them stray from the typical design. That notion is being tested and challenged by Vacheron Constantin, who has designed the world’s most complicated watch.

Although it seems like a tall task, Vacheron Constantin’s Les Cabinotiers - The Berkley Grand Complication is unlike any timepiece you’ve seen yet. True to its word, this watch contains intricacies that you won’t find anywhere else, truly giving it the moniker of the world’s most complicated watch. With stellar craftsmanship and unique details, this watch is about to become a stellar item for any watch collector.

The pre-owned luxury watch market is down, but prices for these 2 Rolexes are up

Rolex GMT Master II Pepsi

According to the Bloomberg Subdial Watch Index, which tracks the 50 most traded luxury watches, the pre-owned luxury watch market moved down around 0.1% last month, marking the sign of a patient market that wants more. This isn't necessarily surprising —the index has fallen 8.7% in the past year. But there are a couple of Rolex watches that are bucking the trend: the Rolex Starbucks and the Rolex Pepsi, which gained 3.2% and 3.3%, respectively.

The overall stagnation of the watch market can have various factors, including anticipation for newer releases. External factors like economic and geopolitical conflicts have also affected the way consumers choose to purchase watches. Prices soared during the pandemic, so a leveling out at some point was expected.
