BIRD OF A FEATHER
H.Stern’s Ancient America Collection takes inspiration from the pre-Columbian notion of animism. The jewelry line celebrates the spirits of the animal world with necklaces, rings and bracelets such as this yellow-gold cuff that evokes feathers (left). $25,800; hstern.net

PRECISION UNDERWATER
OMEGA’s collection of Seamaster Planet Ocean watches are water resistant to 2,000 feet. The latest design (left) features unidirectional rotating bezels and helium escape valves. The watch’s coated dial and rhodium-plated hands increase readability in the depths. $8,000. omegawatches.com

BACK TO VINYL
Audiophiles switching back to vinyl are raving about the high performance Xperience Classic turntable. The carbon-fiber tonearm and Blue Point needle reproduce that old LP sound while sleek styling enables this record player to blend into any décor. Finishes available in black lacquer, olive or mahogany veneer (left, below). $2,000 at Bethesda Systems; bethesdasystems.com

HOT WHEELS
Aston Martin recently unveiled the new Vanquish (left, below)—a high-performance sports car that goes from zero to 62 mph in 4.1 seconds. Its body panels are constructed from carbon fiber and its interior is more spacious than that of its predecessor. An “infotainment” system features 15 Bang & Olufsen speakers, satellite navigation, Bluetooth and a Wi-Fi hub. Available in the U.S. in early 2013; priced at about $280,000. astonmartin.com
