I’m in no way suggesting or encouraging you to start your own Boardwalk Empire (but if you do please dress the part) and though mankind (literally just the men) has been making moonshine since we discovered we could ferment just about anything into alcohol; I’m glad at least one whiskey company has decided it’s good […]

It’s a persistent little social more, the idea that only boys wear shorts. Truth be told, I avoided shorts myself till recently when French designer Thierry Gillier, former Yves Saint Laurent auteur launched Zadig & Voltaire’s Spring Summer 2011 collection. Should shorts be kept firmly in the realm of casual wear? Yes. The sartorial bar […]

The Watch for Players With Roger Dubuis under the Richemont flag, this Swiss horlogerie maison is coming out of the gates strong under the keen eye of CEO Georges Kern. 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 […]

Dress Stylishly, Tote an iPad. Quite frankly, I think that Mohan’s is really answering a real market need for well dressed corporate and metrosexual types who’d prefer not to carry their brand new iPad 2 in their briefcase or man purse everytime they had to step out for a coffee or smoke.

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 […]

The thing about luxury watches or designer timepieces is that regardless of how esteemed or branded they are, sooner or later, one masterpiece starts looking “unique and special” as all the other masterpieces (oh look round face, oh look cotes de geneve)- I’m not saying it’s bad, I’m just saying that it gets repetitive. Then, […]

I’m married. I know, some of you out there will probably look at that declaration with some sort of squalid pallor. You know? The kind of face you make when you’re looking heartbroken at some of Edison Chen’s pictures (five words: Cecilia buy an epilator please). That said, I’ve never been one to shy away from romantic […]
