There are few better gifts you can get a man than a fine timepiece, and TAG Heuer’s new Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph is easily one of the most exciting new watches on the market.

The first-ever solar-powered watch from the 163-year-old brand, the Solargraph only needs 2 minutes of exposure to direct sunlight to power the watch for 24 hours.

Blue Swift is created by taking Martell’s VSOP cognac and finishing it in bourbon casks. This gives it fantastic smoky vanilla notes, while still boasting that classic cognac smoothness. Easy to drink neat or an absolute joy in cocktails, Martell Blue Swift makes an excellent gift for men. Price: AU$99.
