Living out your MacGyver fantasy has always been one Leatherman tool away, but the new, superlight Skeletool CX makes it even easier to defuse a bomb, save some hostages, or open a Bud—you know, whatever your situation calls for. And despite having two kinds of pliers, two kinds of wire cutters, a universal bit driver, and a combination straight/serrated blade, the carbon-fiber beast weighs just five ounces.

Sir Paul's bespoke services have been available in London for a decade, but this May, London-leaning New Yorkers will get their chance to indulge—provided they can still afford it. Two fittings with Savile Row-trained tailors and your choice of exclusive fabrics don't come cheap, as the suits start at five grand apiece. But you've got some time to save your pennies: The experts descend on the Soho boutique May 5 through 8. And once outfitted, you'll be in good company—Daniel Day-Lewis wore PSB to accept his Academy Award in March. Piping optional.

Pro skater Andrew Reynolds already does a line for Etnies called Altamont, but this May, he's branching out on his own with a new collection called 3:33. Each shoe is handcrafted in Portugal, and the line includes everything from house slippers and moccasins to Vans-style slip-ons. (Hey, he is a skater, after all.) But the highlight is the Floppy, described by the designer himself as "sick boots with a dress sole." We couldn't have said it better ourselves.
3:33 shoes, from $100 to $200, available in May at American Rag and Fred Segal, 333footwear.com

The fruits of Panasonic's collaboration with T-Mobile (announced at CES 2008) are almost here: The TZ50, the brand's first Wi-Fi-compatible digital camera, is now coming stateside. The big draw is that you can send photos wirelessly directly to Google's Picasa photo service. (Sorry, Flickr users.) The camera includes the standard specs you'd expect from a compact shooter—a 9.1-megapixel sensor, 10x optical zoom, hi-def video—as well as a year of free access to T-Mobile's network of HotSpots. You know, for all those pics you snap at Starbucks.

Sure, your regular travels might not take you to Brussels this weekend, but you should still get familiar with Artbrussels, one of Europe's largest and most international contemporary art fairs. The exhibition, now in its 26th year, draws artists and galleries from across Europe and the U.S., and regularly hosts crowds of up to 30,000. With so much work included, there's something for everyone here: bejeweled skulls gnawing on rats (pictured), Obi-Wan battles, and even—for the conservatives—plain old paintings. Take a look at some of our favorites, below; prices aren't available, but they've gotta be cheaper than what you'll find at the city's Millionare Fair, also happening now in nearby Kortrijk. At last year's Moscow iteration, a $1 million diamond-encrusted car rim was on view. By comparison, contemporary art seems like a steal.

After years of rumors and hype, the watchmaker has just unveiled its first-ever cell phone: the Meridiist, which contains a whopping 430 components, all hand-assembled in France. Alongside the more standard specs (a two-megapixel camera, etc.) are innovative features like a phone-top display with caller ID and a clock—ideal for discreetly checking your calls during meetings. And about that extra "i" in the name—it ain't for "inexpensive": The phone will retail for about $5,420. But good news: It's only $5,220 with a contract. (Kidding.)

This year's Milan furniture fair has given us some surprising design collaborations and some, well, less so. Samsung and Giorgio Armani unveiled their latest on the exhibition's opening day and the results are pretty much exactly what you'd expect: a sleek, minimalist black flat-screen. Huh—where else are we ever going to find one of those?

Of the dozen new properties set to open in the city before this summer's Olympic Games, the first might also be the best. It's certainly the hippest: Opening today next to the Imperial Palace, the Emperor Hotel has an angular, Day-Glo aesthetic, courtesy of LA- and Berlin-based Graft Lab—the same design firm behind both Berlin's stylish Hotel Q and those pink tents for Brad Pitt's New Orleans Pink Project. They've outfitted the new joint with a glass-walled rice wine cellar at restaurant Shi, and a sleek rooftop bar, Yin. (Also on the roof: a Jacuzzi. They must be hoping the city's notorious smog will die down a bit.) And if you're going before the games, be sure to check out the photos from German artist Sascha Kramer, whose work will be on display throughout the building until the end of June.

To celebrate Rolex's centennial, today Antiquorum is staging one of the largest-ever auctions of the brand's signature sports models. The marquee draw? A rare 1957 Submariner, which was issued to the elite Special Boat Section of the Royal Marines. This particular piece—pre-auction estimate: $175,000-$225,000—was buried on a beach for 40 years until one of those annoying dudes with a metal detector dug it up in pristine condition (seriously). Still, our favorite is the 1958 Antimagnetic Oyster Chronograph dubbed the "Jean-Claude Killy" (pictured, and named after the French Olympic skier), for its alluring, super-scarce stainless steel and pale blue numerals. Best of all, at a measly 80 to 120 grand, it's practically a bargain.
