At The Manual, we love a good pair of sneakers, and many of us collect them.

We can’t tell you just how good it feels when we’re walking down the street in a fresh pair of kicks. They can do one of two things, they can either complete the outfit, or they make the outfit. But with the grimy sidewalks and strange situations we find ourselves in (yes we’ve gone to music festivals where we’ve had to waddle through muddy fields), keeping our sneakers looking like they just came out of the box can be a challenge. And when you own Stan Smiths, Air Jordans, Yeezys and Vans, you want your sneakers to look just as fresh as they did when they were purchased.

Sure, a toothbrush and soap did the trick before, but being that technology has come way past that, there surely must be a new method to keep sneakers clean, we’ve been thinking. We were walking around Paris a few weeks ago when we found it! The aptly labeled Sneaker Cleaning Kit by Men’s Society comes with everything you need to keep your kicks looking pristine packaged in one case. There’s two bottles of the magical Sneaker Cleaning Fluid, a suede and canvas cleaning brush, and instructions just so you know exactly how to make it happen. The Sneaker Cleaning Fluid is made with all the ingredients your sneakers need to stay nice: Aqua, jojoba oil, coconut oil, polysorbate and Vitamin E.

The Sneaker Cleaning Kit works on all kinds of shoes, so it doesn’t matter whether they’re made from suede, leather, or canvas. Simply pour some of that Sneaker Cleaning Fluid on your shoes, then use the cleaning brush to wipe all that disgusting, unsightly dirt off your shoes. Add a little love and care, and voila — there you have it, a fresh pair of kicks so you can go out and battle the world, or your office. So look no further, the Sneaker Cleaning Kit.

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.
