Jetset’s 2016 Father’s Day Gift Guide

The Bluefish Membership

Bluefish

Want to make dad really happy? How about securing him membership into one of the most prestigious clubs on earth? For decades, founder Steve Sims and The Bluefish have prided themselves on making the impossible possible for their members. Need tickets to the Oscars? Want to play one-on-one with your favorite NBA star? Maybe you just need a table at that hot new restaurant no one can get into. Whatever you can imagine, The Bluefish can make it a reality. Past experiences include Mike Tyson Fantasy Camp, having a couple married at the Vatican, and closing down Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze in Florence so that a couple could dine in private under the statue of David while Andrea Boccelli serenaded them. Seriously.

Tom Ford Buckley Base Tuxedo

NMN3GXN_mu

Let’s talk staples for dad’s closet. If you listen to icons like Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake, this is something every man needs in his wardrobe. With their power peak lapels and form-cutting shape, Tom Ford tuxes ooze sophistication and masculinity. The silhouette of the Buckley is lean and marginally shorter in body. The jacket elongates the wearer’s body, and the shoulder is narrower and softer in its pad; this allows for a modern, but still typically sartorial outcome. In layman’s terms, he is guaranteed to look like a million bucks wearing this.

With materials hand-selected from the finest European mills, each piece is constructed using unparalleled craftsmanship and attention to detail culminating in iconic, bold, and empowering pieces for a man’s day-to-day wardrobe.

 Breitling Chronoliner

Breitling

A man can never go wrong with this classic timepiece. Inspired by a Breitling model from the 1950s-1960s, the Chronoliner asserts itself as an authentic captain’s watch, but can be worn just about anywhere with just about anything. Its signature feature is a broad bezel in scratch-resistant high-tech ceramic (an ultra-hard synthetic material), featuring an original star-shaped cut-out. The red-tipped hand enables second timezone readings in 24-hour mode, while the rotating bezel indicates a third timezone. Just the ticket for a long-haul flight anywhere in the world. The performance of the self-winding chronograph is displayed with impressive legibility on a dial worthy of the finest flight instruments.

Persol Steve McQueen Sunglasses

Persol

Another classic staple, these timeless sunglasses were made popular by “King of Cool” and Jetset icon Steve McQueen back in the Sixties. With their patented bendable bridge, sapphire lenses, and perfect shape for any face, they make a must-have for any man’s wardrobe. Side note: I recently met with the head designer for LeVian Jewelers who, when he saw me fiddling with my pair, went off on a 20 minute rant about why they’re are one of the finest inventions man has ever engineered. While we might not go that far, it is safe to say that you can’t go wrong picking these shades up for dad this Father’s Day.

William Henry Ventana Neolithic Knife

Their unparalleled craftsmanship has earned William Henry a reputation as one of the premier knife-makers in the world and this stunning piece is a perfect example as to why. Just one of a hundred, the Ventana Neolithic actually features a piece of 10,000 year-old fossil Woolly Mammoth tooth in the handle! There’s also the “Typhoon” damascus blade, two-hand button lock set with a citrine gemstone, and picture-window cutouts in the frame that reveal the stunning signature William Henry inlays. As they put it, “the perfect synthesis of artistry, function, and rare and exotic materials, this knife a distinctive personality statement to be worn and used for a lifetime.” Dad won’t stop thanking you.

Apple products always make great gifts, and the latest iPad is simply the best yet. The new iPad Pro is more than the next generation of iPad — it’s an uncompromising vision of personal computing for the modern world. It puts incredible power that leaps past most portable PCs at your fingertips. It makes even complex work as natural as touching, swiping, or writing with a pencil. In other words, the new iPad Pro is more capable, versatile, and portable than anything that’s come before. We say go for the larger, 12.9-inch screen to give dad maximum real estate for browsing and watching video.

Royal Brackla 21 Year Old Scotch

royalbrackla21

Every man needs a great scotch, and this is the best that legendary Royal Brackla has to offer. Founded in 1812, in the northern Highlands, Royal Brackla was the first distillery bestowed with a royal warrant and has since been lauded as “The King’s Own Whisky.” Simply one of the finest scotches on earth, their mature-yet-delicate, old-fashioned 21 year-old beauty has been aged using sherry casks, which led to flavors of dark chocolate, anise, and summer berries with some definite sweetness. Pick up a bottle for dad and he will thank you every time he savors a glass.

2017 Lamborghini Centenario

2017-Lamborghini-Centenario-LP770-4-1022-876x535

Has dad been really, really good? Like $2.4 million supercar good? Okay, even we know this last one is a little ridiculous. But we had to include it. To celebrate the 100th birthday of the brand’s founder, Ferruccio Lamborghini, the brilliant minds at Lamborghini have made quite possibly the best Lambo ever. The Centenario also uses carbon fiber for every body panel, making it as light as humanly possible, has 759 horsepower, and tops out at speeds “beyond 217 mph.” The truth is that the just 20 Centenario coupes being made have already been spoken for, but you can at least tell Dad you tried. It’s the thought that counts, right?
