Super Sweet Sweatshirts by Good Measure

You know that stage of the night when you’re in the bar, the empty beer bottles are stacked up and you and your comrades get to talking about business. And there, slumped over the bar as they call last orders you hatch the million dollar idea that you’re sure is the niche everyone has been waiting for. Well that’s how the concept behind supreme separates label Good Measure was born. Except it was in an English pub. And the plan actually came into fruition.

Identified simply and a little mysteriously, as just John, Carl and Fred, the trio of beer-swilling sweatshirt freaks set out to produce the ultimate sweatshirt. They wanted to create a beautiful basic that ought to appear in every style conscious man’s wardrobe. To do that, the three blue-sky thinkers wanted to oversee each process of the production, from knitting their own fabric to the fastidiously crafted swing tags.

They also felt passionately that where possible, all production should be based in the UK, as a tribute to Lancashire, their stomping ground and an area formerly known as the centre of the cotton industry. After years of door knocking and planning, the first Good Measure sweatshirt, the M-21 crew neck, is now available to buy and has been very recently joined by ‘Good’ limited edition t-Shirt, which stands as the brand’s second ode to vintage US sportswear.

Every design detail of each piece has been so scrupulously pored over, that even the most OCD dresser would be forced to tip his hat. Hand dyed, sumptuous 350g loop back jersey, ribbed v neck insert, cover stitched seams, bar tacked seams for optimum strength…not bad for a late night lager chat.

This new Cartier watch tells time backwards
Turn back time with the new Santos
Cartier Rewind on wrist

Wristwatches may be distinctly masculine pieces of hardware now, thanks to some very popular people in pop culture and in our own history adopting them. British super spy James Bond, movie stars, and athletes are the people we look up to who wear watches that catch our eye. Soldiers, cops, firefighters, and first responders wear watches they trust to ensure they can save lives. Pilots and divers created an entire industry around watches specifically designed for their vocations. And the very first pilot's watch was none other than a Cartier watch.

Alberto Santos-Dumont was a pioneer in the flight world and was one of the first people on Earth to achieve air travel. He was a competitor of the Wright Brothers, and, depending on the source, he preceded them in flight. In any case, the French celebrity went to Louis Cartier, another pioneer of his craft, and procured a square timekeeper meant for the wrist. The Cartier Santos Dumont was born. Over a century later, Cartier attended Watches and Wonders and presented the newest in the line of Santos watches, one that reverses time.

Seiko SNXS has officially returned

Seiko made history in 1963 when they introduced the Sportsmatic 5, Japan's first automatic day-date. The Seiko 5 quickly shot up in popularity as it was crafted with a stainless steel case and bracelet, had water and shock resistance, and featured tons of practical functions while still being affordable. It debuted during the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, meaning it was put on the map globally (pun intended), and by 1966, Seiko 5 exports surpassed the collective output of automatic watches from Switzerland.
