What Do Angels Wear? Apparently Brooks Brothers

April 22, 2011

2

This post has been a long time coming but I only just caught the movie “Adjustment Bureau” and I was pleasantly surprised by the visual feast before me (and I’m not talking about Emily Blunt though admittedly, she’s more fetching than ever). I am talking about the Case Workers Angels and their keen sartorial instincts. […]

Triwa Nevil in Havana Orange

April 21, 2011

0

A picture speaks a thousand words. This Triwa Nevil in Havana Orange is worth more than a thousand dollars but costs much less- Prices start from $200. From the outgrowth of “toy watch” companies like ICE and ToyWatch, I’ve yet to see any of them tackle mass luxury timepieces with such fine aplomb like Triwa. […]

A Solution for Stylish Bicycle Riding

April 20, 2011

0

It’s been a fundamental problem of mine. I enjoy the zero-carbon footprint feel of riding past gridlocked vehicles in town on my GT mountain bike; the challenge therein is doing it while suited up because my trouser cuffs always get stained with bicycle grease from the gear train no matter how carefully I ride. The […]

Louis Vuitton Minute Repeater In Action

April 18, 2011

0

http://youtu.be/DL6vmRlDbY4 The jury is still out on the matter of fashion houses invading the haute horlogerie space. For many, brands like Ralph Lauren and Louis Vuitton are all about couture, sunglasses and bespoke luxuries. When a fashion brand like Louis Vuitton comes out with a high complication like a minute repeater, it’s potentially game changing. […]

Quality, Style, Respect: Make Your First Luxury Watch a Rolex

April 15, 2011

1

Let me start with a true story: Not too long ago (6 months give or take), a CEO who shall go unnamed was robbed. The muggers stripped him of literally everything, Cartier cufflinks included. They left him his $320,000 watch. The reason? Police surmise they were looking for a Rolex or didn’t recognise the brand […]

The Allure of Yves Saint Laurent Croc Skin Shoes

April 14, 2011

0

I’ve always held a fascination for croc skin. From perceptible to borderline imperceptible textures, it’s the detail and refinement that goes into a croc skin product (be they shoes, wallets, belts or bags) that turns me on (in an emotional sense. I’m not a pervert). That said, even though these Yves Saint Laurent men’s shoes […]

Viktor & Rolf Men’s Patent Leather Loafers You know what’s great about the Italians? They’re purveyors of great looking men’s style. Viktor & Rolf is no exception, turning heads and catching eyeballs with their latest patent leather loafers. Patent leather upper with rope covered bottom and rubber sole, Viktor & Rolf’s gift to men’s fashion might […]

Orange With Envy: Rolex 216670 Orange Hand Explorer II

March 26, 2011

I think you need to reach a certain age before Rolex begins to hold a siren call for you. I recently turned 30 and it wasn’t for long before the Rolex bug bit. Alas, it was a vintage Rolex GMT Explorer II reference 1655 that caught my eye. Unfortunately, Rolex stopped making this eye catching […]

That (Those) Hotel(s) in James Bond’s Casino Royale

March 25, 2011

2

It is Hollywood irony that most of the beautiful locations featured in 2006’s Casino Royale were set in the Czech Republic rather than Montenegro where his mission was actually centered; nevertheless, attracted by the luxury and opulence of these locales, I was determined to hunt them down; especially since I was heading to the Republic […]

Curated: Burberry Black Label Men’s Spring Summer 2011

March 25, 2011

I love Christopher Bailey. Not just because the man has a flair for clean cut designs inspired by strict military style cuts, but also because he has a penchant for creating crazy demand through his truly exclusive offerings; Burberry Black Label is only available in Japan and for men looking for unique style, it’s a […]
