GIVEAWAY – Jack Erwin Ellis Boots

Quality shoes that won’t max out your credit card? That’s what we like to hear. Jack Erwin has been on our radar since they launched and the collections only seem to get better with each season. Designed in New York and hand crafted in Spain, we know first hand that these high quality, simply designed shoes are lady pleasers and comfortable to boot (!).

Since it is the gift-giving season, Jack Erwin wants to spread the love and offer up a gift to our amazing readers. They are offering you gents the Ellis Chelsea Boot in Black, Brown or Arabica. Chelsea boots are actually a Victorian era trendsetter but they had a massive comeback in the 60s. Think the Beatles. We all love a hearty work boot but the Ellis oozes class and coolness. With a retail price of $220, this may just be the nicest gift you could give yourself this season. So get to clicking, and we don’t mean your heels.

Parmigiani Fleurier new Tokyo store

Parmigiani Fleurier has launched its first Asian boutique in Tokyo's Ginza district, establishing a flagship presence on the coveted Chuo-dori avenue while the broader watch industry remains cautious about expansion.
Located at 7-chome Chuo-dori in Tokyo's luxury shopping quarter, the boutique demonstrates the Swiss manufacturer's dedication to the Japanese market through its partnership with Art Gear Capital K.K., a leading watch distributor in Japan.
The store's weathered facade interacts beautifully with surrounding reflections, creating visibility and vibrant presence among Ginza's most celebrated retail destinations. Swiss design studio Atelier OÏ crafted the interior layout to work with the avenue's characteristic tall architecture, maximizing every space for fluid movement and vertical flow.
The boutique features two floors serving different purposes. The ground floor welcomes customers into a warm, minimalist environment with light wooden furniture and plush seating that creates a tranquil atmosphere. The upper floor provides private areas where collectors and enthusiasts can explore new collections and exceptional timepieces with personalized service.
Interior elements harmonize perfectly with Japanese cultural values, offering an immersive experience enhanced by soft lighting reminiscent of dawn, touches of architectural greenery, and guilloché patterns that represent the brand's distinctive aesthetic.
The Ginza opening reflects the shared values of authenticity and excellence between Parmigiani Fleurier and a region renowned for appreciating horological craftsmanship. The timing demonstrates the brand's confidence in long-term growth within the Japanese luxury market.
This expansion strengthens Parmigiani Fleurier's Asian presence, establishing a foundation for deeper relationships with discerning Japanese collectors who treasure Swiss expertise and manufacturing heritage.
The boutique is now open at 7-chome Chuo-dori, Ginza, Tokyo.
