Get ’em Quick! Simon Miller at Bergdorf’s

By Cator Sparks Published December 21, 2019

Ok we are going to drop the bomb upfront, these Simon Miller jeans retail for around $500.

Now we will tell you why. First off they are a limited edition sold exclusively at the uber swanky Bergdorf Goodman up there in New Yawk City (we happen to be huge fans of Goodman, their men’s store). Also, only 10 pairs per style were produced.

Replica is a series of vintage inspired jeans, individually hand distressed and produced in limited quantities. The collection utilizes a custom persimmon-treated 13.5 oz Japanese selvedge denim from Nihon Menpu mills (this is theeee place to get denim, people) and is constructed in Los Angeles with authentic sewing details including a deconstructed patch and advanced wash techniques. Lastly, each piece is finished with a waxed canvas label hand indigo dyed by Noon Design Studio in Los Angeles. Noon Design uses only natural dyes made from roots, bark, flowers, wood, biowaste (oh!) and insects (ooooh!).

As you can see from the images above, these jeans have had some serious work done to them. It was all inspired by the owners travels. Jake and Daniel discovered a vintage pair of Lee jeans in a flea market out West and were determined to replicate the jean for the modern dude. The more old vintage pairs they found, the bigger the dream became. Other replicas will be available down the line so if you miss the boat on this run, stay tuned for the next wave of awesomeness.

The Simon Miller Replica jeans are only available in store. Please ring 212-339-3339.

You wake up, take a look at your automatic watch, and then realize it has stopped in the middle of the night.

Patrick Dempsey becomes face of Tag Heuer eyewear in expanded ambassador role

From watches to eyewear: Dempsey extends tag heuer partnership into new territory

Patrick dempsey for tag heuer eyewear

Dempsey has been a brand ambassador for over a decade. His dual career as an actor and a professional racing driver, including a podium finish at the 24 Hours of Le Mans-fits the brand’s focus on performance, precision, and lasting style.
Dempsey’s expanded role comes with Tag Heuer’s latest eyewear launch. The collection was made in collaboration with Thélios, LVMH’s eyewear division. The campaign features Dempsey wearing two key models: the Jack Heuer and Mini Vingt-Sept lines.
One campaign image stands out. Dempsey recreates a well-known portrait of Jack Heuer holding a chronograph. This visual connects the brand’s heritage with its future. The timing is fitting, following Dempsey’s role as racing legend Piero Taruffi in the 2024 film “Ferrari.” This nods to Jack Heuer’s partnership with an Italian automaker in 1971.
The 2025 eyewear collection has three lines. The Jack Heuer frames are inspired by 1960s pilots and use Japanese titanium and ChromaFade lenses. The Mini Vingt-Sept line updates the brand’s technical eyewear with steel hinges and bio-nylon temples. The Shield Pro line is focused on performance, offering flexible frames and interchangeable lenses.
Dempsey’s involvement with Tag Heuer has always been hands-on. He’s attended events like the Monaco Grand Prix and boutique openings. In 2019, he received the “Spirit of Le Mans” award for his contributions to endurance racing.
This eyewear collaboration is a natural next step for both Dempsey and Tag Heuer, continuing a shared story of racing, design, and innovation in the luxury world.

H. Moser makes rose gold rival to Rolex’s Rainbow Daytona

60 baguette sapphires and a flying tourbillon: moser's new rainbow streamliner

H Moser Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton Rainbow

H. Moser & Cie. has introduced its most ornate Streamliner so far with the new Tourbillon Skeleton Rainbow edition. This watch directly competes with Rolex’s Rainbow Daytona in the very expensive sports watch category.
Available in rose gold (CHF 175,000) or stainless steel (CHF 125,000), the 40mm watch is a showcase of both watchmaking and jewelry skills. The bezel is set with 60 carefully selected baguette-cut colored sapphires.
The Streamliner’s cushion-shaped case created unique challenges for gem-setters. Each sapphire had to be chosen for its color to create a rainbow gradient around the bezel, and each one also had to be cut to a different size to fit the case design.
At the center of this watch is Moser’s skeletonized HMC 814 automatic movement, visible through the open dial. The large one-minute flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock serves as both a technical feature and a visual focal point.
A look at the back of the watch reveals similar attention to detail. The Moser-branded rose gold rotor is skeletonized, exposing the gears, wheels, bridges, and springs of the movement underneath.
Production numbers will be limited, not by a set amount, but by the time and complexity required to make each one. This highlights the skill involved in crafting every piece.
The Rainbow Streamliner stands apart from Moser’s usual simple design, which is known for its fumé dials and minimalist approach. Still, it maintains the brand’s focus on independent watchmaking, while entering a category associated with brands like Rolex and its Rainbow Daytona watch that has become highly sought after on the resale market.
With its integrated bracelet, movement finishing, and elaborate gem-setting, the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton Rainbow is a contender in the growing group of high-jewelry sports watches. These timepieces combine technical expertise with unmistakable luxury.
