In this age of Power Ranger SMS tones and La Roux Bulletproof ringtones, I tend to equate the minute repeater with a welcome audible distraction. A throwback to the “dark” ages, this the oldest of horological complications is not only a modern classic in my opinion but a necessary testament to the relevance of horological […]

I just love the contrasts of colour and textures. In an age where almost every luxurious product is made in China, I can also appreciate Billykirk’s Made in USA goodness. Appropriate for the office, perfect for the weekend; A stylish bag for men, just the way I like em and did I forget to mention? […]

I’d never knock Rolex. It’s a good brand. They make great watches. Mr. Bond wears them. They’re the only watch company in Geneva that makes all components, cases and movements in-house (that’s why they’re so darned expensive). The only grouse I have about this luxury watchmaking behemoth is that tiny fib about turning down the […]

I have had many stylish accessories over the years but never lunch in style: Conceptually, the lunch tote is nothing new: Reusable versions of the brown paper bag have been around for several years, often insulated and made with spill-resistant material for easy cleanup. But the lunch tote is evolving, and a few have emerged […]

Style Timelessness: 3.5/5 (will look dated in 3 years) Trend Worthiness: 5/5 (trendy beyond compare) This leading luxury men’s suit designer Ermenegildo Zegna does it again. I could bore you with their 100 year old heritage or sedate you by waxing lyrical on their pedigree as suit makers for other haute couture labels like Gucci, […]

Born 14 October 1939 as Ralph Liftshitz, this American fashion designer and business extraordinaire single handedly elevated continental fashion design and imbued it with trans-international-pan-European aesthetics. This man is known today as Ralph Lauren. The son of Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants, Ralph’s sartorial inclinations were perhaps first forged in Marsha Stern Talmudical Academy; selling ties to his […]

Top Luxury Men’s Watches from SIHH 2011 1. A. Lange & Sohne: German engineered, distinctive, understated, gorgeous. I would continue to describe this classically elegant yet manly luxury watch in single word superlatives but I shan’t. Needless to say, this timepiece from the German manufacturer is everything one would come to expect from haute horlogerie […]

Taking inspiration from Eastern work wear, Himalayan pioneers combining it with a British Raj colonial aesthetic, Eastie is a Brit heritage label that updates retro iconic looks into contemporary wear. Don’t know if wearing Eastie will turn you into Steve McQueen but the idea of stylish, wearable garments you can bring to the gym is […]

Admittedly, as a fan of Euro-English designers like Paul Smith , I can be a little snobbish. I’ve often kept my distance from American designers like Ralph Lauren; that giant horse riding polo player logo on the polo shirt isn’t really my thing. Then one day last year, everything changed. Before me, lay some of the finest […]

The name of Dior Homme’s Spring Summer 2011 campaign is lessness. Well, lessness is moreness so goes the popular, albeit reprhrased adage. Of the entire collection, Dior Homme’s patent leather shoes hold a siren call for me. Beautifully simple, classically elegant, these men’s designer shoes are everything a man should have for a dress shoe. Unpretentious […]
