Lands’ End, The Manual To Host 12 Hours of #Together

Lands’ End has released its holiday collection and it’s a good one, though we’re not at all surprised. For the past year the outdoor lifestyle brand has been on a winning streak, offering sharper-looking wardrobe staples, fits and fabrics, all at an affordable price. Only now there’s even more reason to shop—think updated varsity jackets and sweatshirts, flannel bedding, luxe cable knits and tartans for the ladies, fun totes, and sinful desserts for the relatives (check above for a sneak peek of the collection). Trust us, if there’s one brand that knows how to do holiday right and make online shopping a snap, it’s this one.

In the spirit of sharing good stuff this holiday season, we’re teaming up with Lands’ End on Twitter this Cyber Monday (December 1) to co-host 12 Hours of #Together, its annual holiday event celebrating being together, where participants can answer trivia questions and retweet offers for a chance to win over 100 great giveaways over a 12-hour period. We’ll be tweeting our favorite gifts, tips and more by the company from 5-6 pm, so be sure to follow @TheManualGuide and @LandsEndPR to stay in the loop.

In doing so, you’ll also be set for #MonogramMonday. Each Monday at 8 am (CST) from December 1-22, Lands’ End will post a photo or video of a three-lettered monogram to each of its accounts on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. If your personal initials match the monogram, simply log on to www.landsend.com/monogrammonday and enter your details for a chance to win a $1,000 Lands’ End gift card prize given out each week. Best of luck and chat soon!

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.

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.
