Cool NYC Guys Are Wearing SHRT

We’ve got a secret to share: the best-dressed men about town in New York City didn’t just wake up looking perfectly Instagrammable. They’re wearing SHRT, the new capsule collection of customized shirts designed in collaboration with Bespoken.

Best known for its brand of unstudied, Anglo-American polish, the New York-based brand already has one of the best looking go-to collections for spring and a recent partnership with J. Lindeberg. Now it’s added SHRT, a custom shirt program created in partnership with Warby Parker co-founder Neil Blumenthal, Fat Radish owner Phil Winser, and entrepreneur-cum-DJ Brendan Fallis. Each tastemaker worked with the founders of Bespoken, Liam and Sam Fayed, to create three impeccably styled shirts all made in the UK.

“We love the concept and what it stands for,” said Liam. “All of these guys are innovators in their own right and it’s interesting to bring different elements into our design process. We’re excited to see how our customers react to the launch and the product, and if it’s something they want to see more of, we’d definitely want to continue giving that back.”

As expected, the best features of SHRT are in the details. Fayed, for example, offered Blumenthal a subtle short point collar update to Bespoken’s classic button-down collar, as well as a concealed microfiber cloth for cleaning glasses on the go, while for Winser’s slimmer, button-down silhouette with jersey sleeves he added a hidden passport and boarding pass chest pocket. Fallis’s streamlined shirt, meanwhile, sports a signature Bespoken point collar but mixes a light poplin body with an Oxford cloth sleeve for a quietly trangressive edge.

“Working together with people who care about details and quality as much as I do was a really fulfilling project,” said Fallis, while Winser praised the functionality of his design. “Working with a tailor that comes from such incredible heritage and craftsmanship keeping within tradition but adapting to the modern day man allowed me to create a shirt that was perfectly tailored to the service industry. I wish I could do a whole collection with them.” Here’s to the future of sharper, everyday work shirts indeed. SHRT shirts are $195-225 and available at Bespoken’s website and on Spring, the mobile app.

The H. Moser & Cie. Pioneer Spiced Aqua Triptych collection instantly draws eyes onto it with its signature sunburst fumé dials in a mesmerizing tropical aqua hue. This gradient finish progresses from deep teal at the edges to a luminous central glow, creating an arresting display of light that changes with each wrist movement. Adhering to Moser's minimalist approach to craftsmanship, the dials are free of branding and indices, putting the focus solely on the exquisite work of the artisans. The end result is bold and elegant — a visual representation of Moser's prowess in balancing the avant-garde design with the timeless.

The three 42.8mm stainless steel cases in this collection maintains Moser's perfect proportions, delivering contemporary wearability without sacrificing the aesthetic the brand is celebrated for.

Parmigiani Fleurier unveils summer-inspired Tonda PF Sport Chronograph
Swiss manufacturer creates rose gold chronograph inspired by Mediterranean summer lifestyle
Parmigiani Fleurier Summer-Inspired Tonda PF Sport Chronograph

Parmigiani Fleurier has unveiled the Tonda PF Sport Chronograph Rose Gold Sandstone, a timepiece that merges technical mastery with the understated elegance of Mediterranean summer living. The watch invites wearers to experience time not merely as measurement, but as moments of serene escape.
At the heart of the timepiece beats the high-frequency PF070 calibre, a COSC-certified integrated chronograph movement operating at 36,000 vibrations per hour. Engineered for flawless short-time measurement, the movement offers a 65-hour power reserve driven by a skeletonized 22-carat rose gold oscillating weight, ensuring both precision and visual appeal.
The 18-carat rose gold case features alternating satin-brushed and polished finishes that play delicately with light. The silver guilloché dial, punctuated by sand-toned sub-dials, evokes the warmth of sunlit southern shores. The "Sandstone" designation reflects both color and emotion, capturing the contemplative calm of long summer afternoons along the Mare Nostrum, from Sicily to the Mediterranean islands.
A defining feature is the distinctive Tufo-colored rubber strap, inspired by the pale volcanic stone found throughout Mediterranean landscapes. The strap is textured to evoke the appearance and feel of Cordura, a technical fabric prized for its durability and refined structure. With its corduroy-like tactility and saddle-style stitching, the strap blends resilience with artisanal finesse.
"The Tonda PF Sport Chronograph in rose gold sandstone reflects our pursuit of essential beauty in watchmaking," said Guido Terreni, CEO of Parmigiani Fleurier. "It merges mechanical excellence, through a high-frequency chronograph calibre, with the informal elegance of a summer lifestyle."
The watch's dial showcases Parmigiani Fleurier's expertise in guilloché craftsmanship, featuring the distinctive Triangular Nail pattern that enhances light reflection. Hand-applied 18-carat rose gold appliques with black luminescent coating ensure optimal legibility, while the overall design maintains the relaxed sophistication that defines the Tonda PF Sport collection.
