A depiction of fire: The new G-shock Flame series

You'll love the new G-shock Flame series

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.

These new G-shock watch models were rolled out in Japan first, but they will also be introduced into other markets.

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

Bulova’s new Shelby Racer Chronograph is inspired by the Daytona Coupe
Car, Watch, Man

We are fully in race-car-watch-season, and Bulova is joining the pack with their newest release. The New York company is back at it with Carroll Shelby Licensing for a new limited-edition chronograph.

This one’s the Shelby Racer, built around the 50th Anniversary Aluminum Edition Daytona Coupe. That’s the aluminum-bodied version of the car that made Shelby the only American manufacturer to win the FIA Sports Car World Championship in 1965. (If you’ve seen Ford v Ferrari, you already know the rivalry — that movie covered Shelby’s Le Mans campaign a year later, but the Daytona Coupe is where the beef with Ferrari actually started.)

The Gentleman’s Guide to Wedding Attire
Wedding toast

As a menswear writer, I take pride in snazzy dressing. You can imagine my chagrin when I showed up to a recent wedding as the worst-dressed groomsman. It had been a perfect storm of sartorial mishaps. I’d slimmed down since the last time I wore black tie, leaving the jacket and cummerbund baggy. My favorite cuff links had vanished on a work trip. To complete the fiasco, my tuxedo shirt bore an archipelago of merlot stains from a Christmas party in late ’25.

Fortunately, I had the chance to salvage my dignity at another wedding a few weeks later. I rallied like Rocky. Rush alterations. New cuff links. A crisp Marcella shirt. Polished black shoes. I went from disheveled schlub to black-tie stud.
