Kern oversees IWC and and Baume & Mercier and has seen great success in revitalising watches from the Schaffhausen and judging from what I’ve seen […]

Coincidentally, someone asked me what “getting railroaded” meant. Let me put it this way, train rails are single tracks. When one gets railroaded, it means you had no other choice or path to take (usually to a negative conclusion). Sometimes getting railroaded isn’t a bad thing; especially when it comes to matters of classic elegance: […]

I’m sure that the Batman theme song circa Adam West is currently playing in your head (should you be an old foggy like myself) and I won’t blame you-retrotastic styling, curvy bodywork complete with wind busting tailfin it does bare some resemblence to the campy Caped Crusader’s vehicle of choice but what you’re looking at […]

I just wrote a short blurb on Euromasters Classic Porsche reproductions for Augustman.com and it really got me thinking about the history and heritage of this automotive icon. Sure, I might get unduly tempted to spend hard earned money on one after all the research but Euromasters really makes it affordable for you to own […]

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, […]

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 […]

I mentioned before that I’m a fan of men’s designer bags that can be both formal and casual depending on how you rocked it. There are two reasons for this: First, as metro as I am, I’m starting to loathe having to clear the closet out of the many bags/briefcases/carryalls that I possess to match […]
