Spend Fall in the Forest

We love following color trends because they’re an easy way to update our wardrobes without investing in pieces that will be out of style next season. The last couple years, camouflage has been all over the runways and in our favorite brands’ collections, so it only makes sense a deep, dark green would come next. Whether you call it olive, army or forest, not only is this particular shade everywhere, it’s practically a neutral, making it super versatile. We’re dressing it down with sneakers and up with wool neckties. It’s the perfect color for fall outerwear and sweaters. Even leather accessories are getting in on the game. Check out our favorite pieces below.

WeSCWeSC Elder Padded Hooded Parka
The end of summer is a bummer, but chillier weather does bring good things, like new outerwear. WeSC’s hooded parka works in all kinds of weather, and the dark olive hue is versatile enough to wear for years. The coated shoulders and back yoke give it a textured look. $250, WeSC

Mark-mcNairyMark McNairy Ankle Boots
Don’t be afraid of adding some color to your footwear this fall. These Mark McNairy boots are just as versatile as the black or brown pair you have lurking in your closet from last season. And they’re the perfect mix of dressed up and casual, featuring a refined wingtip design and rugged hiking laces. $400, TheCorner.com

John-Bartlett

John Bartlett Consensus French Terry Shawl Collar Pullover
This fall is all about being cozy – oversized sweaters, joggers and sneakers have all made their way into our wardrobes, and not just for the gym. This John Bartlett French terry pullover looks as good as it feels and is perfect for that weird transitional weather that makes getting dressed a chore. Wear it now then layer it later when the temps fall. $19.80, Bon-Ton

Flison-hunting-shirt

Filson Hunting Shirt
We love this shirt because it has a rugged, utilitarian look that’s perfect for fall dressing. It’s actually designed for hunters with reinforced shoulder patches and underarm eyelets for ventilation, but every guy will look good wearing it with dark denim and a great pair of boots or sneakers. $98, Filson

Lotuff

Lotuff Two-Pocket Leather Bifold Wallet
Rethink the classic leather wallet and go for something that’s not black or brown. For the minimalist, this vegetable-tanned leather bifold holds only a few cards and cash to reduce bulk. $150, Lotuff

Alexander-Och

Alexander Olch Solid Gaberdine Wool Tie
Handmade in New York, Alexander Olch ties are some of the finest around. This wool necktie looks extra handsome in dark green, especially when paired with a dark suit. Wear it with a bright shirt for a nice contrast. $150, Alexander Olch

New-balanceNew Balance 990 Sneakers
This fall is all about sneakers, so you should definitely buy those few pairs you’ve been eyeing. On our list is the classic 990 from New Balance, first introduced in 1982. Green suede and mesh is accented with navy details for a versatile pair. $179.99, New Balance

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.
