The watches, clothing, gear, and design pieces that defined our month.
Every month brings a new collection of objects that capture our attention.
Some impress us with exceptional craftsmanship.
Some solve everyday problems in smarter ways.
Others simply remind us why great design still matters.
June 2026 delivered a little bit of everything.
From a sculptural vintage-inspired Omega that feels closer to modern art than traditional watchmaking, to iconic home pieces and travel-ready essentials, these are the products that stayed on our minds long after we first discovered them.
Welcome to this month’s Black Book.
