FINALLY! Beach season is right around the corner. While you might be worrying about booking vacations and toning up that six-pack (OK, four-pack?) there’s one thing you don’t have to worry about – your beach towel. Vertty towels have you covered (literally). You’ve never seen anything like these – four inches longer and 30 percent lighter than you’re run of the mill beach towel – these guys are really stunning and completely wacky. They are made from eco-friendly materials – including Ketten (a fancy term for 90 percent cotton and 10 percent polyester), which means they will dry faster – no one likes a soggy beach towel.

It all started when Vertty’s CEO Diogo Cruz wanted to turn a simple object like a towel – into something extraordinary. Cruz and his team of experts produce the line in his home of Portugal – with the purpose of helping his country’s economy.

So what makes these handmade beach towels so brilliant?

Well to start – their shape, patterns, and vibrant colors. There are nine color choices to choose from: classic orange, classic blue, classic green, yellow, midnight blue, coral, enigma, savvy, and jade. The nontraditional cutout and ziz-zag shape is different and cool, while the geometrical pieces give these future summer-staples an added amount of style.

Oh, and did we mention that they also have a waterproof pocket to hold your cell phone? BOOM.

Memorial Day is just around the corner, so make sure to pick up a towel or two at www.tryvertty.com

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.
