Looking for the newest technology in air purification that is still sleek and stylish? With most people working from home, it’s more important than ever to pay attention to your indoor air quality.
We checked out the Sensibo Pure, touted as the world’s most advanced air purification system. Using smart sensing technology, this is the only filtration system that is powered by Pure Boost, a unique patent-pending technology that uses both HEPA and Carbon filters and removes particles as small as 0.1um(more than 100 times thinner than a human hair). Pure Boost™ regulates the airflow based on factors like geolocation, inside air quality, outside weather & air quality to regulate the fan level of the device. Even better, if you have a Sensibo AC controller, it will use your AC fan to circulate the air even more, when air quality is dangerously low.
This includes contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, and pollen, as well as PM (particulate matter) PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10. Additionally, the active carbon filter absorbs atoms of harmful gases such as smoke and VOCs (Volatile Organic Components).
Always on and sensing the air quality, this is the perfect filtration to do all of the work for you. Compatible with Amazon Echo and Google Home, control is at your fingertips, and Sensibo’s advanced smart sensing algorithms save up to 40% on utility bills by letting you define triggers and schedules, helping you choose the right temperature settings, and reminding you to clean your filters. All in all, a win/win situation. To learn more: sensibo.com

Finding the top 10 most expensive watches in the world was made easy, with the help of the researchers at Online Casino Betway who meticulously took the task to write about the most desirable luxury watches ever made.
As you can imagine, there are some ridiculously priced timepieces, let’s dive straight in and look at some of the most expensive timepieces and explore why some investors really see a huge return on investment when it comes to investing in timepieces.
Are Luxury Watches an Investment?
Why spend so much on a watch? Well the simple answer would be that we know that the worth of high-priced watches goes far beyond their value as accessories.
According to a post by the New York Times, some investors claim that their luxury timepieces doubled in value within a year.
However, according to the Gentleman’s Gazette, there’s a lot more to investing in watches than buying an expensive model. Choosing a timepiece that will grow in value means research and a lot of careful searching. Let’s take a closer look at some watches that are guaranteed to sell for an even bigger fortune in the future.
10 of the Most Expensive Watches
Hublot Big Bang
The Hublot Big Bang was initially purchased by Beyonce for Jay-Z and is worth around £4,000,000. This timepiece boasts nearly 1,300 diamonds and is worth its weight in gold.
Vacheron Constantin 57260
With a worth of approximately £6,000,000, it took the creators nearly eight years to design and make this watch. Two hundred forty-two jewels form the outer shell of this timepiece.
Patek Philippe Ref. 1518
This timepiece isn’t only remarkable for its value. Released in 1941, this was the first perpetual calendar wristwatch to see the light of day. This Patek Philippe wonder fetched a staggering £8,500,000 at an auction in 2016.
Paul Newman’s Rolex Daytona
Paul Newman’s Rolex Daytona is, without a doubt, one of the watches that has appreciated most in value over time. The former star’s wife gave him the timepiece in 1968. When it went up for auction in 2017, it fetched a whopping £13,500,000.
Breguet Grande Complication Marie-Antoinette
This Breguet may not be a wristwatch, but it’s a luxury watch, nonetheless. Initially commissioned by one of Marie Antoinette’s lovers, the timepiece is valued at £25,000,000 and took 45 years to complete.
Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime
This reversible timepiece currently holds the record for the most expensive wristwatch ever sold at auction: $31,000,000.
Louis Moinet Meteoris Collection
This collection takes its name from Louis Monet, a father of modern watchmaking. One-piece features part of an actual meteorite and is called the “Tourbillon Mars”. The collection is worth £3,500,000.
Patek Philippe 5004T
This timepiece is the only titanium version of this range ever created. It was specifically designed for auction and fetched £2,985,000.
Franck Muller Aeternitas Mega 4
This watch is lovingly dubbed the “Master of Complications” by enthusiasts. It has a host of fascinating features (like a 1000 year calendar) and a price tag of £1.8 million.
Graff Diamonds Hallucination
Decked out in 110 carats of diamond and featuring multiple types of cut, it’s no wonder that this watch has a net worth of approximately £43,000,000.
Competition grows among the HNWI
For those that are lucky enough to even consider buying any of the 10 luxury watches, it makes complete sense to invest in a timepiece that is only going to go up in value as the years tick by. High net worth individuals are on the rise from China to India and the numerous high tech company founders in Silicon Valley, therefore there is bound to be a demand for such luxury timepieces, nevertheless, there are is only a limited edition made for each watch so competition for these rare items is going to grow over the years.

Staying at home these last few months has sparked a serious boom in demand for at-home fitness equipment. To be sure, there are a number of high-tech players in the at-home equipment game that have a possibility to disrupt the gym industry — or at least make working out so much more convenient!
Pursuitist examined some of the latest in smart home fitness technology, equipment, and apps and narrowed the field to our top five favorites. Here, we list them in ascending order:
This is a “weight machine” that uses digital weights in a compact gym that extends from a mounted touch screen with a built-in coach. It replaces your personal trainer at the gym by putting one, on-demand, in your own home, offering real-time feedback as well as compact design. Tonal, which uses electromagnetics to create combined resistance, mounts on your wall — but keep in mind that you’ll need to have a wall appropriate for installation.
A stationary bike is the best exercise machine for home exercise. If you want to lose your fat calorie a daily basis you buy a recumbent bike to lose weight smartly. Most of us smart persons buy stationary bikes to keep their bodies fit. If you have any idea about stationary bikes you may read this guide to gather your beginner knowledge.
Fight Camp Boxing is a free-standing bag, workout mat, and glove set that makes any space a boxing ring. This smart home gym equipment comprises an in-home boxing bag, guided workout classes, and smart boxing gloves with sensors inside that tell users how hard they’re hitting and how many jabs and punches they actually landed. Fight Camp Boxing has an impressive roster of boxing coaches leading virtual classes and its punch trackers measure punches thrown, speed, and punch output. It also gamifies your boxing workout by using your stats to beat your own personal records.
This high-tech, virtual rower allows you the feel of the river in the comfort of your own home. This piece of smart home rowing equipment has an ultra-smooth electromagnetic computer controlled drag system. With it, you can stream high-energy rowing workouts on-demand as well as mat workouts. A swivel display makes it easy to watch the screen during your floor workout, and two wheels on front make it easy to move when you need to store it away.
A full-length mirror and LCD screen that offers hundreds of cardio, strength-training, yoga, boxing, pilates, and barre exercises with a very small physical footprint. It hangs on your wall and provides instructor led, live on-demand classes. This interactivity is one of the best features of this smart home gym machine, added to the fact that the mirror allows you to keep an eye on your own form during your workout. And its slim design is the ultimate space saver!
Pelaton—no introduction needed—is an indoor-spin bike with adjustable seat and handle bars that capitalizes on the popularity of the boutique spin-class boom. But Peloton’s monthly subscription comes with unlimited classes, and not just for cycling. While its price is a commitment to making fitness a priority in life, Pelton brings out its riders’ competitive side, with an app that tracks improvement while monitoring resistance, cadence, and output. We love its smooth quiet ride, and give this one bonus points for its TV-sized touchscreen display, but the very best part may be the challenging new workouts added every day.

Juicing — the process of extracting the juice from fresh fruits or vegetables — is popular because it can increase the variety of nutrient-rich foods in your diet so you can take advantage of all of fruits and vegetables’ healthy benefits.
There are three styles of juicers: slow, centrifugal, and citrus. Slow juicers and centrifugal juicers are usually best for fruits and vegetables, while citrus juicers are dedicated for simply squeezing citrus, like oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruit.
No matter what kind of juicer you’re looking for, there are many on the market today. But we’ve narrowed them down to our top 5 favorite juicers. Here they are in ascending order:
The H101 is on our top juicers list because it really was designed with cleaning in mind. It has grooved strainers and a tiled juicing chamber that pours out more — and leaves less mess inside — so you can really enjoy all the benefits of juicing without the messy cleanup. There’s also a pulp outlet, aka trap door, that opens 180 degrees so you can easily flush out any remaining pulp inside the chamber. This slow juicer mimics the motion of fruit squeezing by hand, rotating at a speed of just 43 revolutions per minute, which produces delicious fresh juices in their most natural state. Hate pulp? Love it? This one has a function to control the amount of pulp to suit your own taste preferences. And we should also mention this top juicer also can juice nuts and soybeans into a variety of smoothies and nut milks.
We love the bright, sleek and shiny exterior design of this juicer, and it comes in seven colors! This top juicer is amazing because it truly has the benefit of all three juicing options, including its own attachment for citrus. It’s simple to use, with just one button to operate everything. And an AutoSpeed function auto-senses the best speed for each food, adjusting the speed of the press and centrifuge according to your chosen fruit or vegetable. There’s a large tube, so you won’t need to cut all of the fruits and vegetables, and every part of the juicer can be easily cleaned in the dishwasher.
As the name implies, this one is specifically for citrus, and therefore best for oranges, lemons, and limes. It is the top juicer that has our favorite look, sophisticated and retro, and a design that comes in a few cool colors. Its superior performance pairs with reliability, showing off a powerful 70W motor with an integrated on-off sensor. And using it is simple thanks to a non-drip spout which prevents spillage, keeping kitchen surfaces clean.
Kevin’s Whole Slow Juicer stands out for its versatility. It does an efficient job of juicing greens, veggies, and fruits alike. Its 3.2” wide-mouthed two-way feed tube reduces prep time and allows you to insert different types of ingredients without jamming. It has patented low speed extraction technology that prevents nutritional loss and minimizes oxidation. Multiple strainers, including a sorbet and a smoothie strainer attachment, allow for even more food options. And it even has a handle so you can carry it with you.
The Breville Juice Fountain is SL Cold Plus Pursuitist’s overall favorite juicer for its power, ease of operation and clean-up. Its super sized 70 fl.oz. jug seals and stores so you can make large batches, and the 3.5” wide chute shortens prep time — seriously, you can put a whole apple in, core and all, and it juices. The “cold” its name refers to Breville’s “Cold Spin Technology” that reduces the amount of heat transferred while juicing. Set-up couldn’t be simpler, your juice will be pulp-free and delicious, and clean-up is a breeze. What could be better than that?!
At the Architectural Digest Design Show that took place in March in New York, Pursuitist visited the expansive Sub-Zero exhibition space, which showcased its most recent innovations within its Sub-Zero, Wolf Gourmet and Cove product lines. Continue reading →
Travevel is a new platform that combines the familiarity and interactivity of a social platform with user generated content focused on travel, tourism, exploration and adventure. Travevel’s interactive platform is ad-free and filled with user-generated image and video travel content, including an interactive map. Here’s what CEO LeAnn Campas has to say about the future of travel and social media’s role.
Q. Why are travel and social media so synergistic?
A. Social media is visual and there are few things more visually interesting than travel images and videos. The two were made for each other. Additionally, the vast majority of us put more weight on personal experiences, and there is no better way to share our adventures, explore others’ experiences and interact with them than through a social platform.
Q. Does Travevel lend itself more to user-generated content (UGC) than some other genres and if so why?
A. UGC always carries more weight and credibility to consumers than any form of paid content and we have seen growing frustration from users of other platforms as to the aggressive amount of ads they are seeing, which has a negative impact on the user experience. With Travevel, our mission is to focus on authentic content from personal users. While business user accounts will be a part of the platform, the content they upload cannot be branded or watermarked, nor can they pay any additional fees for their content to be prioritized or shown in a different manner than individual user content. We want to ensure that the user has full control over what they see and how they interact with not only other users, but businesses as well.
Q. What is it like launching a travel-oriented social media platform during a worldwide pandemic that has brought the travel industry to its knees?
A. There is no question that this is a challenging time to develop and launch Travevel, however, we have found there to be some benefits to the timing. Through speaking with other travelers worldwide who have had severe restrictions placed on their movements and activities, we have seen even more enthusiasm about future travel not only from frequent travelers, but from those who didn’t have any plans pre-pandemic. A very large number of people have been actively researching and exploring new destinations to escape this new, and drastically different normal. Travevel is a platform that helps users plan now for travel later.
Q. Will COVID-19 change the future of travel even after a vaccine? What are the positives and negatives that will come out of this for the travel industry?
A. Based on the dramatic increase in activity we have seen in the last few months as more destinations started to open, I feel the only thing that will prevent a return to normal levels next year will be limitations on air transportation and rolling travel restrictions across the globe. Being shut in for so long has certainly seemed to increase interest in travel and new experiences, which should greatly benefit the industry. The main negative long-term will be transportation and occupancy based. It may take some time to see the effects of reduced airline routes combined with destinations operating a reduced occupancy. Unfortunately, at least in the short-term, employees will bear the brunt of these decreases.
Q. What are some destinations you recommend right now for Americans based on COVID-19 restrictions and protocols and all the headwinds associated with them.
The Caves Resort, Negril, Jamaica
A. While it is difficult to put together a list, there are so many amazing National parks and outdoors destinations close to home, no matter where you live. Internationally we have been very impressed with the protocols and restrictions imposed by Jamaica since the country reopened in July. Requiring a negative COVID test, designating a tourism corridor and mandatory masking in public areas have been very effective, and to date, they haven’t had any cases by guests or staff at resorts. We have visited four times since July and have always felt safe. Many countries are now reopening to tourism with a wide range of protocols in place from Mexico with no testing or authorization required, to others where a negative test is required as little as 48 hours prior to arrival in addition to travel authorizations, mandatory insurance. From our personal viewpoint, we prefer to travel to an area with well thought out, and in some cases, challenging safety protocols. These are interesting times for travel and we strongly encourage others to visit destinations that make you feel safe and comfortable based on your personal situation.
Q. What will travel look like in 2021?
A. There is certainly no shortage of people wanting to get away. The struggle will be finding available space in both transportation and lodging because of reduced routes and capacity. These transportations challenges could very well lead to a dramatic increase in weekend trips to parks, beaches and other outdoor attractions close to home.
Q. Any tips for travelers in 2021 and beyond?
A. Be flexible, be patient, and be understanding. The entire world has changed and everyone is still figuring things out.

Frequent air travel became the norm for Americans in the early 1980s, but hotels didn’t provide much for regular customers. If you were lucky, you’d get a fruit basket on arrival or a complimentary breakfast in the morning. My how things have changed. In an effort to increase travel and attract repeat customers, hotels and other hospitality entities have begun rewarding frequent guests. While this is not a new concept—credit card companies such as American Express have rewarded traveling customers for years—the types of benefits have become more glamorous. Some hotel chains offer free rooms and upgrades, while others give airline points and hotel amenities.
With the new year comes new expense account restrictions and business travelers, more so than any other frequent traveler, need to optimize their travel. If you’re anything like George Clooney’s character in Up in the Air, you’ll be racking up points in no time regardless of your employer’s new rules thanks to top-tier rewards programs. Here are our picks for the best hotel loyalty programs. All are free to join.

How else can you stay at the Sheraton Boston for business and the St. Regis Bora Bora for pleasure?
