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

At least where Vertu is concerned, you can always safely assume that the pinnacle of luxury can only go up. They made this point loud and clear once again with the Signature Precious. Crafted from precious metals and gemstones, this latest addition to Vertu’s arsenal of ultra-luxe mobile phones has certainly taken us to a whole new level of exclusivity and style.
