Stantt Is Making Your New Favorite Shirt

By Cator Sparks October 21, 2013

We admit it, we are on the fence about Kickstarter companies. We don’t want our readers to have to wait six months to get the product they are craving, and what if the company never reaches it’s goal? We also realize there are some pretty sweet ideas popping up on Kickstarter and we are always up for helping the new kid. That said, when we learned about Stantt shirting we held out a bit to see how they progressed. Well, when they were fully funded in four hours, we knew they were on to something.

The concept is simple: All men don’t fit into a small, medium or large. And yes, higher end brands have collar and sleeve length options but they still don’t always work or come in exactly your length. At the new e-commerce site, Stantt (derived from Constant Improvement) , they ask you to measure your arms, chest and waist, send in the measurements and BOOM, you got a shirt that fits you just right.

Friends Kirk and Matt began working on this concept two years ago and have zero background in fashion, “We think this works in our favor,” they told us. They have 50 different sizing options so if the first shirt they send doesn’t fit they most likely know what is not working and will send you the shirt of your dreams. That happened to this editor and I have to admit, the shirt fits better than most in my closet.

Fabrics are 100% cotton and come from Japan, Korea and China and are all hand sewn in New Jersey. All the buttons are made in upstate New York. The boys are very focused on having as much made in America as possible. The best part is the price, $78 on Kickstarter and around $98 when they launch. That’s what we pay for a shirt off the rack at most mall stores and our sleeves still resemble arms of Orangutans.

Stantt is taking orders through November and will be shipping in early 2014.

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 unveils new watches for Paris 2024 Olympics

Omega Speedmaster Chronoscope Paris 2024

With just 100 days until the Paris 2024 Olympics, Omega is capitalizing on its status as the official timekeeper of the event with another new release. The Omega Speedmaster Chronoscope has remained unchanged since its initial release in 2021, in which it featured a large case and a vintage dial. However, with a big summer ahead, the Omega Speedmaster Chronoscope collection has expanded with two new iterations.
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.
