Esquire Eye: What Esquire India Editors Are Coveting

WHILE THE OFFICIAL CHAMPIONS LEAGUE MATCH BALL KEEPS FANS EXCITED, the official watch for the competition has its own charm. The eighth timepiece born from the partnership between Hublot and the Champions League is the Big Bang Reloaded UEFA Champions League Titanium Ceramic. It features a 44mm case in satin-finished and polished titanium, complemented by a bezel combining polished titanium and blue ceramic—the competition’s iconic colour. The matte blue skeleton dial reveals the workings of the movement, with the Hublot logo on the seconds hand. The satin-finished blue ceramic case back is fitted with a sapphire crystal featuring the competition’s logo. Limited to 100 pieces, this watch will appeal lovers of both football and timekeeping.

APPLE HAS ARRIVED LATE TO THE FOLDABLE SCENE, BUT FASHIONABLY so. The iPhone Duo was unveiled recently and it got people talking. While many are baulking at the insane price tag, it’s hard to ignore that the device is a design marvel. The Duo features the largest display ever on an iPhone. When closed, the Duo is comfortable to use one-handed, with a 5.4-inch outer screen. Multitasking tricks, a hidden FaceTime camera, the use of grade 5 titanium and software that’s both intuitive and primed for productivity—there’s plenty to look forward to in Apple’s latest.
