Dapper WatchWe’re not psychic, but if pressed to make fashion predictions we’d put the Dapper watch by Daniel Wellington at the top of the list as a new accessory favorite.

The sophisticated design features deep blue hands, Roman numerals, and date display. It’s also paired with Italian leather straps and watch casing in silver or rose gold. Even better—it provides a polished look whether you’re in a suit or casual clothes.

Filip Tysander founded Daniel Wellington in 2011 and named his company after a man he met while traveling in the British Isles. Tysander was impressed by the man’s relaxed and unpretentious style, and noticed he loved to wear watches on old, weathered NATO straps. He personified the feel of the company Tysander envisioned and it set him on his current career course.

The man’s name? Daniel Wellington, of course.

As the company continues to grow and gain fans due to the timeless appeal of the watches, Tysander says he pays attention to what customers desire. “In our quest for perfection, our fans’ opinions are absolutely taken to heart when developing new designs,” he said.

The collection is available through the website or at retailers worldwide. The Dapper retails for $299.

Menswear legend Todd Snyder debuts watches with epic American collab
Bringing watchmaking to America

Todd Snyder is the master of the man's makeover. With ties to brands like Ralph Lauren, The Gap, and J. Crew, he had a long history in the industry before he founded his own brand in 2011. Never one to buy into the high fashion looks of the runway, he instead focuses on finding ways to make you and I look and feel better about ourselves simply by selling us the right chinos, the right body wash, and even the right scrambled eggs in the cafe of his flagship store near Madison Square Park in New York. With that history, he has countless collaborations with virtually every brand you can think of, and he has added another to his list with Weiss Watch Company, which looks to disrupt the Swiss watch industry by bringing watchmaking to the USA.

"I always seek to partner with the best of the best. Weiss Watch Company shares the same dedication to quality, craft, and timeless design that we champion in our menswear. Together, we’ve created a watch that not only embodies classic American craftsmanship but also speaks to modern style and utility. It’s a piece that’s made to last—both in durability and in style." says Snyder.

You can now wear hats designed by this iconic Brooklyn artist
Join Mr. Kaves in a New York mission of style

If you were a child of the 80s and 90s in New York City, you don't need any introduction to Mr. Kaves. If you aren't of that background, listen up. From the age of 12, Kaves hung from the sides of streetcars and spray painted some of the best street art the city had ever seen. He became a staple of the city that needed light, color, and inspiration during the turbulent times of those two decades. Taking that same creativity, he started a band, and then brought his art to museums, and now, you can wear some of his creativity yourself. With a new collaboration with American hat brand Bailey 1922, Kaves expands an already impressive storytelling resume.

“Coming up in Brooklyn, we didn’t have much, and the fedora style was seen as a ‘Crown’ on your head, and if you had one, you were street royalty. When I had my first taste of success, I bought a hat and a cigar, and I felt important and like I ‘made’ it," said Kaves. "People know Brooklyn’s a cool place, and it has become a brand. I’m going to teach you a little about how it became cool...the blood, the sweat, the tears. To me, Brooklyn rooftops are a religion, and the concrete is a cathedral.”
