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 […]

I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with Swarovski. It’s undeniably female, yet from what I saw last about their men’s accessories, Natalie Collins, a lead designer for the brand really has a bead on things. Whether it’s nurturing up and coming young designers or serving up bling for rappers and women of leisure everywhere, it […]

Steve Buscemi to me is like one of those Christopher Walken types. I hate to make the comparison but men like him and Walken usually play varied roles and they invariably share one commonality- they make it their own. In fact, their signature styles are what makes them great fodder for comedic impersonators and […]

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 […]
