New York City’s so-called NoMad (North of Madison Square Park) neighborhood has been hyped as the next Manhattan hot spot by real estate agents for a few years but now it may actually be living up to the buzz thanks to Todd Snyder.

The acclaimed menswear designer and Iowa native opened his first-ever flagship store at 25 Madison Square North (aka West 26th Street) last week and the 4,500-square-foot destination shop is basically retail catnip for gents who like to dress – and shop and live – well.

Carrying Snyder’s full assortment, including his Made in the USA Black suiting collection, the Made in Canada White suiting collection, and his new Made in Los Angeles Selvedge Denim line, the welcoming and handsome shop with an old-school European feel also sells pieces by Champion, Timex, Mackintosh, Globe Trotter, Tricker’s and Alden. In addition, there are onsite tailors to provide individual customization plus a selection of rotating and limited gifts, art and furniture that’s curated through a partnership with 1stdibs.com.

The space also houses a Persons of Interest barbershop with an old-fashioned tile floor and bespoke barber chairs made in Japan, a café/bar near the entrance by Nick Morgenstern of El Rey Coffee Bar & Luncheonette, and shop-in-shops by Moscot eyewear and Aesop grooming. Thus it’s a place where guys can get suited up, gussied up, and liquored up in a perfect example of “one-stop shopping.”

“It’s a great place to come for a seasonal wardrobe upgrade with a personal stylist, to get fitted for your next suit while enjoying an espresso or a beer, or to hang out with friends while getting a haircut and a shave,” Snyder says of the store.

After visiting it, we couldn’t agree with that “great place” part more.

Note: Personal styling consultations at the shop can be booked by stopping by in person or emailing privateclient@toddsnyder.com.

The Piaget Polo Date 150th Anniversary Edition revamps a classic watch
See what 150 years of craftmanship look like with the Piaget Polo Date limited watches
The Piaget Polo Date duo.

What does a luxury watch company do for its 150th anniversary? The only answer is to release a limited line of watches. And Swiss company Piaget did just that. The Piaget Polo Date collection comes with one for the fellas and one for the ladies, but both pieces exude a quiet luxury on their own. Playing up the nostalgia note but giving collectors a fresh take, Piaget took their 1979 hit the Piaget Polo, gave it a shine, and made it the star for the company's 150th anniversary, debuting the Piaget Polo Date. 
His and hers, Piaget edition

The 150th-anniversary release consists of two watches — one for him and one for her. The Piaget Polo Date watches don't reinvent the vintage version from the 1970s, but the new ones bring a level of sophistication to the model.
The one for him
The updated version for him is 42 mm in size, has a round face, and has a brown rubber strap. The details on the face and the hands are rose gold. There are not many changes from the original, but sometimes, little tweaks go a long way.
The one for her
The watch for her is a bit more detailed. For this one, Piaget took the 36 mm option and gave it a beige rubber strap, allowing it to match the brown watch. But this move with the strap was huge, as it replaced the old metal bracelet and leather strap previously offered. This made it the first time the 36 mm came with a rubber strap and the first time the two watches had the same strap style.

The IWC Portugieser collection

The collection throws it back to the Portugieser of the 1930s, where the design got its first inspiration from those gorgeous navigational watches on the deck of a ship. Keep that nautical theme in your head because each piece in the collection has celestial details as the star.
