__Timeless__ The company that gave Dieter Rams his start also designed this watch; that connection is obvious in its clean lines and industrial aesthetic. The 40-mm timepiece has a three-hand quartz chronograph movement, water resistance up to 30 meters, and looks good too. It's the epitome of German form and function.

__Set a Course__ PapaFoxTrot's cute little wooden toys are modeled after our biggest industrial machines, like this 15-inch version of the *Asia*, one of the largest double-hulled supertankers ever built. The real ship could whisk 3 million barrels of oil across the ocean at 16.5 knots; this version is stationary, and carries a lot less.

__Accounting Assistant__ Dieter Rams' 1987 calculator may not be able to graph a quadratic equation into a parabola, but it has real longevity. Its simple interface is so classic that it was the inspiration for Apple's first iPhone calculator. So unless you're running a hedge fund, or maybe a meth lab, this is all you need to total receipts at tax time.

__Clean Slate__ This is a desk for thoughtful concentration, not digital distractions. A single drawer will hide the tools you need but don't always want to expose. Blu Dot calls it a pencil drawer, but it works just as well for pens, a phone, or even Adobe Ink. Plus, it can be placed on the left or right side of the desk. [__Blu Dot Stash Desk | $399__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GU6JAK4?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)

__Itchy and Scratchy__ Your fork is too short to reach back itches, and besides that's gross, man, just gross. Hit those hard-to-reach spots in elegant style with this beech-handled back scratcher. Its metal hand extends up to 20 inches, which is good news for you and your cutlery. [__Kikkerland Back Scratcher | $7__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IN7977O?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)

__Balancing Act__ Like a high-wire Jenga, this game relies on finding just the right balance. The 24 rubber-tipped wires hang from a stand like colorful branches on a miniature tree. One wrong move and they'll topple over into a heap of metal. But even that will look pretty cool on your desk. [__Melissa & Doug Suspend | $18__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008L16OZU?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)

__Miniature Multiplex__ Last-minute technical issues be damned. Pull this mini projector out of your briefcase, unfold the stand, and you're keynote-ready. The wireless cinema is small—about 10 inches tall—but powerful. It can fill screens from 9 to 90 inches. [__Bem Wireless Kickstand Portable Projector | $500__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E3R1EYW?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)

__Lean Screen__ Microsoft finally gets it right with the Surface Pro 3. The glorious 12-inch screen comes alive with the click of a pen, which you can then use to write directly on the touchscreen. The widely adjustable backside kickstand keeps it cozy at almost any angle. Even the keyboard boasts two typing positions. [__Microsoft Surface Pro 3 With Type Cover | $930__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KHR4ZL6?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)

__Key Grip__ This fob is a quick way to class up your keychain's array of bottle openers and discount cards. Micro and regular USB connectors slide up and out of a hand-stitched leather enclosure. Finished charging? Give the knot a quick tug and voilà, the plugs vanish back into their home. [__Power Link Knot | $40__](http://www.nativeunion.com/us/power-link-knot.html)

__Put a Feather on It__ When it comes to bird-inspired distractions, this mobile leaves Twitter cold. The feather sits on a wire frame and spins around with a gust of wind or breath. It's pretty, frivolous, and a little bit silly, like all good diversions should be. [__L'Atelier d'Exercise Feather Mobile | $40__](http://shop.cooperhewitt.org/p/3167/Hand-held-Feather-Mobile)

__Desk Jockeys__ This stationery set has everything for a well-stocked desk, with many thoughtful touches. The stapler is molded to hide the hinge, the 10-sided pen holder has a padded base to mute sounds, and the scissors (not shown) are designed for lefties and righties.

__Oculus Lift__ Sure, monocles are on trend, but this gleaming brass-wrapped lens is the definition of classic. It's about 8 inches tall with a magnifying intensity of 2X-3X, which means there's no excuse to not read the fine print now. [__Best Made Brass Magnifying Stand | $80__](http://www.bestmadeco.com/collections/home-goods/products/brass-magnifying-stand)

__Coney Island__ This smart speaker knows what you want to hear before you do. Connected wirelessly to an expansive library of songs, radio stations, and podcasts, it builds a personal profile based on your listening habits. Turn the front dial to play a song. Don't like the tune? Spin it again to cue up another. [__Aether Cone Speaker | $399__](http://www.aether.com/reserve)
