G-shock flame series — G-shock flame series G-shock / G-shock

G-shock recently announced that it is launching a new collection of timepieces featuring a flame-like dial.

And the good thing about this collection is that it comes with a strap with a smoke-like hue to complement the dial. Think of the dial as the ‘cause’ and the strap as the ‘effect’ of what’s burning.

Since different types of flames burn in different colors, the G-shock flame series is also available in multiple colors. While the GA-2100FL-1A and GA-100FL-1A have a blue dial to depict the nature of high-burning flames, the GA-2100FL-8A and GA-100FL-8A have an orange dial.

The GA-100FL-1A has three purple-like subdials that effectively accent other shades on the dial, giving the whole timepiece a flame-like look.

Even though the GA-100FL-1A and GA-2100FL-1A are equipped with a blue dial, they have different hues.

The upper section of GA-2100FL-1A’s dial has a purplish shade to highlight different sections of a blue flame. Unlike the GA-100FL-1A, this timepiece has two subdials only.

When it comes to low-temperature flames, the GA-2100FL-8A and GA-100FL-8A depict how such flames look with a two-toned dial. The bottom section of the dial is deep red, while the top section is characterized by a light orange hue.

G-shock has yet to provide clear release dates. However, the models might be available for shipping by the end of the year.

A love letter to Seigo Neckwear: Decades of a New York staple

Accessories, Formal Wear, Tie

There was a time when a necktie was a mandatory uniform — a daily tax levied on office workers, lawyers, and corporate ladder-climbers. For most men, tying a Windsor knot every morning felt like submitting to a small, silky oppression. But for a select few, wearing a tie was never an obligation. It was an art, a ritual, a quiet statement of personal style.

Thirty years ago, as the golden era of classic menswear began to fade, I found myself looking for a replacement for Sulka. Founded in 1895 in New York by Amos Sulka and Leon Wormser, A. Sulka & Company was once the ultimate arbiter of luxury haberdashery — legendary for its opulent silk robes, bespoke dress shirts, and, above all, its rich, heavyweight silk ties. Its clientele read like a who’s who of the twentieth century: royalty, Hollywood titans like Clark Gable and Cary Grant, statesmen like Winston Churchill. A Sulka tie was an uncompromising commitment to craft, pattern, and color. When Sulka eventually vanished from the retail landscape, it left a real void — not just a gap in the market, but a gap for men who saw neckwear as wearable art rather than corporate armor.
