War, what is it good for? Definitely not absolutely nothing. Wrist watches for one, they got invented during the first World War.

On one hand, we have the world’s most famous recognizable watch brands—casting its lot with a dude many consider a moral reprobate or, worse, a has-been. Has the famously precise Swiss timepiece maker finally sproinged its own gears? What on earth is Rolex thinking? [via Slate] Slate’s take: Some have speculated that Rolex is “buying low,” stealing […]

It’s not often that you find photo-shoots for menswear so decadently luxurious, to the sartorially inclined it’s akin to watching porn (oh the irony)- when it comes to the fine art of dressing like a gent it’s not easy for separate trendy from timeless.

True monsieurs need not fear the classically cut wool blend double breasted blazer. Yet, for all the classic elegance of a well made DB, a simple law of style holds true- Honour thy fit. Fit makes everything look better. Too tight and you expose your physical flaws and spare tires, too loose and you look […]

Was having a look around the awesome repository of information and images that is the internet when I chanced upon a drop dead gorgeous leather laptop case- the Artisan Leather Computer Lap Desk & Tote. It’s a mouthful of a name, I don’t even know why the crafters of something so beautiful can conceive of […]

How America Puts You on a List Targeted for Termination The process involves “going through the National Security Council, then it eventually goes to the president, but the National Security Council does the investigation, they have lawyers, they review, they look at the situation, you have input from the military- Bang! You are targeted for […]
