Peter Manning founded his company — Peter Manning/Five Eight New York — on the idea men 5’8″ and shorter have the same opportunity to find comfortably fitting clothes as anyone else. Not only does his company operate on this premise, Peter knows first hand how rare it is to find perfect fitting clothing right off the rack. Because of this, Peter launched his clothing venture in mid-2012 and works to “bring you the best fitting, best made clothes you have ever worn.” Since its launch, he’s helped thousands of customers who experience similar dilemmas while shopping for clothes. So whether it’s your next favorite pair of pants, or an ideal-fitting button down Oxford, Peter Manning/Five Eight New York takes the guess work out of finding the perfect fit for men 5’8″ and under.

Peter’s promise of providing comfortable fitting clothing goes even further with the recent release of his Tribeca Field Jacket; the first outerwear piece produced by the clothing line. Aiming to bring the popular field jacket design to a wider range of men, Peter and company perfectly rethought and rescaled the coat during its production. Touting a shorter length and shorter sleeves, the Tribeca Field Jacket also allows wearers to adjust the wrist and waist sizes for a fully customizable fit. Its cotton flannel plaid lining perfectly accents the jacket’s two available colors — tan or olive — and features a scaled down, corduroy detailed collar. Peter rethought the placement of each of the jacket’s properly proportioned pockets to make them both functional and convenient for the wearer. Streamlined and void of unnecessary detail, the Tribeca Field Jacket showcases everything Peter Manning built his “life long dream” of a company on.

To get a look at the Tribeca Field Jacket for yourself, head on over to the Peter Manning/Five Eight New York website. The brand also offers a month long incentive program rewarding customers each week, take a look at the program here.

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.

Omega Speedmaster Chronoscope: New additions for the Paris 2024 Olympics

Last year, clearly already excited for the Olympics like a kid asking about Christmas in March, Omega released the two-tone Seamaster Dive 300m as a commemorative watch. Now, we have a second set of watches to celebrate the upcoming games (at this rate, we're half expecting Omega to drop a new watch to celebrate the opening ceremony, the closing ceremony, and all the sports in between. Essentially, these latest Omega Speedmaster Chronoscope timepieces maintain the essence of their predecessors, however, they feature different materials and colors, which can actually yield a significant difference.
