Hermès Saddle Leather Binoculars

Famed French luxury good house Hermès has come out with a beautiful pair of leather wrapped binoculars that are the perfect accessory for stylish sporting occasions. The design is a throwback to the days when a gentleman always brought along a handsome pair of leather and brass field glasses when attending race meetings, horse shows and steeplechases, while on safari and conducting military campaigns as a member of the officer class, or observing regattas, cricket and tennis matches. Wrapped in Hermès' signature saddle leather with a handstitched leather carrying strap they're priced at about $2,500. The binoculars themselves are apparently Leica's compact, super-sharp Ultravid model from their sports optics collection (Hermès owns a stake in the famed German camera-maker). Just the thing for the Royal Ascot races.

Sun Photo Binoculars

Every so often you come across an idea that seems to obvious that you wonder why no one ever thought of it before - and if someone has done it before, why it wasn't a commercially successful venture. The Sun Photo Binoculars are the ultimate binoculars for traveling because they have a built-in 2megapixel digital camera with an 8x zoom. There is no doubt that future models of the binoculars are already being developed to have both a higher resolution and video capabilities, since you can even find those features in mobile phones, but the idea of combining binoculars and a camera is a great one. It means that nature lovers and sports fans will not have to constantly switch back and forth between a camera and bioniculars to capture pictures of their favorite moments. Right now, Sun Photo is only available in Korea, for 370,000 KRW ($388).
