At Mandarin Gallery, we know exactly what will make grown men go weak in the knees and get as excited as little boys on Christmas Day. Here are three treats for the stylish geek who loves all things gadgety and sleek.

SpidoLite II Titanium By Linde Werdelin
The timepiece of a sport enthusiast should match his out-going personality. The clean yet athletic design of the SpidoLite II Titanium by Linde Werdelin will please any adrenalin junkie who is also big on style. Unlike the tacky digital sports watch, this is a classy analog with a three-part case that is crafted in titanium, making it considerably lighter and extremely durable. Its skeletonised dial that reveals parts of the movement adds to its charm while functions like a 42 hours power reserve and 100m water resistance make it perfect for the active man on the move.

The SpidoLite II Titanium comes in a numbered series of only 100 pieces and is available for SGD17800 at E’Collezione (#01-14A, Mandarin Gallery)

Constellation Quest Ferrari By Vertu
Vertu’s new Constellation Quest Ferrari is the next best thing to actually owning a Ferrari. Inspired by the Ferrari 458 Italia, this high-tech smartphone features the iconic Cavallino Rampante (crafted in polished stainless steel) embedded in the titanium battery cover. Every detail, from the materials used (Ferrari calf leather) to the custom-created ringtones (live recordings of the Ferrari on a test circuit), is a tribute to the legendary car. Users of the phone will also have access to unique Ferrari content, experiences and events.

The Constellation Quest Ferrari is available for SGD17000 at the Vertu flagship boutique (#01-02, Mandarin Gallery)

Leica M9 By Leica
In the world of photography, the Leica M9 stands for a multitude of good things, including classic, timeless design, advanced German technology and impeccable image quality among others. The history of 35 mm photography started with the legendary Ur-Leica 100 years ago and today, the M9 (and its sister model the M9-p) is carrying its legacy into the digital age.

The smallest full-format, digital system cameras that the world has ever seen, the M9 is known for its ability to produce authentic, natural images that captures the fleeting moments of life. Compact and powerful, owning the Leica M9 will up your street cred instantaneously.

The Leica M9 retails for SGD9600 at the brand new Leica boutique at #01-18, Mandarin Gallery

A popular ad jingle sings ‘the men don’t get it’. The fact is, this gender stereotype can go both ways. Sometimes, it is the women who don’t get it and this is especially true when it comes to boys’ toys, the mythical objects that men are obsessively passionate about. From cult plastic figurines to the perfect pair of running shoes, here are just some of the things that will make the average guy on the street hot under the collar. There is no need for you to understand the mysterious attractive forces at work here – just buy them for him!

Original Fake X Kaws Companion Bearbrick
There is always a little boy in all grown men, which explains their enduring love for toys. First launched as part of Original Fake’s Spring/Summer 2009 collection, the morbidly comical Dissected Companion Bearbrick remains very much coveted among toy figurines collectors the world over. Available in varying sizes (i.e. 100%, 200%, 400% and 1000%), it is modelled after the infamous character by artist Kaws and features exposed innards and muscular tissues. All that two-dimensional blood and gore – no wonder the boys are stirred into such a frenzy.

The Kaws Companion Bearbrick retails from SGD50 to SGD300 at Ambush, #03-14, Mandarin Gallery

Bose SoundDock II
For a music junkie, there are few things as sacred as a good sound system. With the digitalisation of music, this translates to an iPod compatible dock and Bose’s SoundDock II is arguable one of the best machines on the market. With the same award-winning performance of the original SoundDock, this improved version boasts enhanced and additional features. For instance, you can now navigate your playlists with the remote control.

The Bose SoundDock II (SGD599 to SGD749) can be found at Green Light, #03-15, Mandarin Gallery

Rolex Deepsea
Men usually accessorise sparingly and often a good watch is all he needs. Designed for extreme underwater exploration, the Rolex Deepsea is made for the professional diver and those who like to push boundaries. A strikingly handsome timepiece, it is equipped with a unique chain bracelet, a bezel inlaid with virtually scratch-resistant black Cerachrom disc and a titanium caseback. Whether he is a diver or not, this will definitely win his heart.

The Rolex Deepsea is available at E’COLLEZIONE for SGD29,800

Terra Plana Evo Running Shoes
If he is addicted to the runner’s high, a good pair of running shoes is absolutely necessary to keep him injury-free. The Evo has an ultra-thin, puncture resistant sole that is ideal for urban environments. It is also lightweight and very breathable, making the running experience a stress-free one. Stripped of any frills, it simply allows your feet to move the way they are supposed to move.

The Evo retails for SGD229 at Terra Plana, #02-04, Mandarin Gallery

There is no colour more auspicious than red in the traditional Chinese world. With the Lunar New Year right around the corner, it is time to stock up on things in all shades of crimson. Other than signifying the promise of wealth, luck, health and prosperity, red is also warm, attractive and stylish. Take a bold step into the Rabbit Year (and please all your elderly relatives) with a generous dose of happy, festive red.
