What better way to welcome football season than with coasters made from real football leather? These things are durable, stylish, and quite cool — a definite upgrade over whatever coasters you might have had on hand previously. Plus, they’ll work for either pro or college games. Not bad, yeah? Oh, and the rest of the the gear you can snag from Owen & Fred is just as essential.

Huckberry Explorer’s Cap [$39.98]

Who doesn’t love a great menswear style upgrade? Supporting your team can be great, but wearing an athletic logo cap isn’t for everybody. And if you want to stand out subtly but stylishly, this refined ballcap is a nice way to do so. Consider it the grown-up replacement for your beloved college ballcap — unless you just can’t part with that one?

The days of drinking cheap beer at your tailgate are over — or at least, they should  be. The Growler Werks 64oz. uKeg is made from stainless steel and stores up to a half-gallon of beer — that’s a lot of home brew. It’s double-walled, vacuum-insulated and even features the option to change out the tap handles. Not a bad deal for under $150.

MixedMade Weak Knees Gochuchang Sriracha Sauce (Two-pack) [$19.98]

While things like stylish coasters and a great hat are nice to bring to your tailgate, your food selection is really what it’s all about. Add a heck of a kick and a whole lot of flavor to dishes with a neat, delicious version of (nearly) everyone’s favorite hot sauce. The fact that you can pick it up alongside some durable Huckberry chukka sneakers is just an added bonus.

A durable, sharp and stylish casual watch is practically an essential you should have on you at all times. And luckily for us watch lovers, the Huckberry Combat B33 GMT is tough enough to stand up to manning the grill at your tailgate, and refined enough to look a lot better than other watches at the ballgame. No need to worry about spilling on this guy — the gunmetal PVD coating and durable 43mm stainless steel case can take it.

Hublot’s sapphire Big Bang gets an icy new color
Hublot reveals new Big Bang in Glacier Blue
Hublot Big Bang in Glacier Blue

The newest addition to the Hublot MP-11 collection is a formidable presence, measuring a whopping 45mm in diameter and 14.4mm in thickness, so you'll need some major confidence if you want to sport this beast on your wrist. The inaugural Sapphire Big Bang was introduced in 2016 and since then the brand has delighted fans with an array of color iterations, from other sapphire colors to purple and orange. Now, Glacier Blue has been introduced, just in time to keep you cool this summer (in attitude, not temperature, unfortunately.)
Hublot: The Big Bang MP-11 in Glacier Blue

This Big Bang MP-11 features a 14-day power reserve, which is achieved through seven series-coupled barrels arranged in a horizontal configuration, and all of that can be viewed by the wearer. The truly vibrant Glacier Blue (seriously, the blue is so bright you'll feel like you're about to start seeing your breath) is made with a fresh chemical composition but still shares the same properties as sapphire: luminous, and able to withstand scratches.
Technical specifications
This Hublot watch will leave you completely mesmerized for several hours before you even think about the technical specifications, though there are some exceptional details to go over. Inside this MP-11 is the HUB9011 Manufacture manual-winding skeleton power reserve movement. As we mentioned above, there are seven series-coupled barrels, but they've been arranged in a coaxial and vertical configuration so the watch is able to maintain a super slim profile of just 10.9mm. All tied together like a bow on top is the blue transparent structured rubber strap with a titanium deployant buckle clasp.

Patek Philippe on wrist

The watch world is rich with history. With brands like Rolex, Omega, and Tudor coming out of Switzerland, it is easy to forget that they all owe a little part of their success to the father brand of all wristwatches, Patek Philippe. Since they created the first Swiss wristwatch for Countess Koscowicz of Hungary in 1868, they have innovated and led the way to create a massive watch industry that chronophiles love.

This year, at Watches and Wonders, they showed again that they are the best in the business by providing a whole slate of timepieces for us to ogle for the coming year. Here are all the watches Patek Philippe dropped in Geneva that you need to know about.

Omega Speedmaster Chronoscope: New additions for the Paris 2024 Olympics

Last year, clearly already excited for the Olympics like a kid asking about Christmas in March, Omega released the two-tone Seamaster Dive 300m as a commemorative watch. Now, we have a second set of watches to celebrate the upcoming games (at this rate, we're half expecting Omega to drop a new watch to celebrate the opening ceremony, the closing ceremony, and all the sports in between. Essentially, these latest Omega Speedmaster Chronoscope timepieces maintain the essence of their predecessors, however, they feature different materials and colors, which can actually yield a significant difference.
