Sometimes the best approach when it comes to style is simple and understated. That might not always align with the street style photography that pops up all over the men's fashion media outlets, but it's the case more often than not in the real world because we can't all get paid to stand around smoking cigarettes ... continue reading
TSOVET is continually a step beyond what we thought was possible in the world of watches--especially when you consider their affordable price tags. Their latest creation, the SVT-PX87, has a case and bezel made of a composite material called NyPxCEL. We have no idea what that is, but we can tell you what it does. It ... continue reading
It might be a rare occasion, but if you have ever dropped your pocket knife in a pond while out camping, you know the annoyance involved in retrieving that sucker. The Cork Knife eliminates any fear of cutting rope on the side of a lake or whittling wood over a creek while you're on your next trip. The cork handle ... continue reading
Well Swatch, we tip our cap to you. In our effort to find all the awesome stuff out there, somehow we missed this camo watch of yours. This is odd because we have an unhealthy obsession with the military pattern and have been fans of Swatch since we were kids. So, well played. The Swatch Touch Camouflage watch - which ... continue reading
$17,000 is a lot of money to spend on a watch that doesn't bear one of the more iconic names in the industry. But, and bear with us here, what if the watch didn't need to have a name at all because it was special enough without it? We're just going to cut to the chase. Kobold is a watch company you've probably never ... continue reading
Void Watches have always had an industrial, almost Apple-esque, elegance. Minimalism is the name of the game when it comes to Void, and that’s fine because your watch doesn’t really need Angry Birds, a calculator or apps. It needs to tell you the time and look good doing it. The V03A watch is based on a Japanese ... continue reading
As soon as you slap the words “Limited Edition” on anything it immediately becomes more desirable, more attractive and more expensive. None of those necessarily mean it makes the product look good, but that’s not an issue with the Adidas Originals Trefoil Watch designed to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of ... continue reading
It’s not very often that we come across watches that command attention because of good, clean design. Most of them go overboard with rubber and multiple faces and more hands than you could ever read. But not Clomm watches. The refreshingly simple watches all clock in with a 47mm face surrounded by 316L stainless ... continue reading
Maybe it's an all too enthralling trip to Hodinkee, or just the fact that we're kind of sick of the collection of modern watches sitting around, but we've been jonesing for a good looking vintage watch for a while. Money isn't falling from trees these days, so we had to immediately rule out anything that could be ... continue reading
Casio. Timex. Suunto. Smith & Wesson. Invicta. Seiko. All of them make slim profile, eye catching military watches that look cool without going overboard. Nixon, the same people that brought us one of the first all rubber watches (and then rubber-ized everything else in their collection) and the gigantic 51-30, ... continue reading
Military style is all the rage these days. You can, quite literally, buy a complete outfit out of camo. We're not talking the type of boonie hat meets m16 style that our enlisted men rock (thanks guys and gals!); we're talking about high design versions of everything from wingtips to peacoats. There are other militaristic ... continue reading
Ever since we found out all eight seasons of Voltron were available for streaming on Netflix we've been on an 80s kick. After filling the enormous hole in our hearts left by a lack of Saturday morning cartoons, we moved on to the next thing missing--sweet eighties watches. You can still buy the same iconic Casio watch ... continue reading
Any Kickstarter project that earns $100,000 in the blink of an eye (well, a 2 hour blink, but you get the point) deserves some attention. What's even crazier than the insane loot tossed at Pebble, is Pebble itself. Whether you've got an iPhone or an Android phone, you're about to want a new accompanying accessory for ... continue reading
Pocket watches are something you don't see all that often anymore. Unless you happen to be an R&B singer you're probably not wearing a vest and that's what they were most commonly worn with. Being part of a period HBO or Showtime drama isn't a requisite for a pocket watch that looks like these Memento Wooden Pocket ... continue reading
Sooner or later, everything cool going on in men's fashion trickles down to J. Crew. Timex watches with interchangeable straps? J. Crew. Brown boots with red shoe laces? J. Crew. Slim cut suit at a price point that doesn't require a power broker salary? Also at J. Crew. Anything involving camo is hot right now, so ... continue reading
Things you generally expect to find as part of a watch: stainless steel, gold, nylon and leather. It's not uncommon anymore to find materials like wood and rubber being used in their construction. Then there's wax. Yes, the same stuff that drips down candles and was used to construct life-sized replica of PeeWee Herman ... continue reading
