West Wilson — Captain Morgan

In just the past couple of years, sports and fashion have fused into a natural collaboration, resulting in exciting new merchandise that is far from your typical jersey or sweatshirt. Now, fashion is tackling a new aspect of sports: tailgating parties. A faithful companion of many tailgates, Captain Morgan, is joining forces with Pirate Worldwide for a vintage-inspired merch collection that brings community and style together. Made for the Captain’s crew, this collection, which contains a tee and a hat, embodies the fun and loyalty of a crew that can easily translate into the camaraderie of the sports world. Officially unveiled during a game-day takeover and styled by Summer House star and Kansas City Chiefs superfan West Wilson, this Captain Morgan x Pirate Worldwide collection is ready for all of your adventures.

Captain Morgan and Pirate Worldwide take over tailgates

Dressing modern-day crews, the Captain Morgan x Pirate Worldwide collection lets tailgaters express their confidence, style, and edge with new vintage-inspired pieces. As West Wilson exclusively told The Manual, “Style has always been about confidence for me, and this Captain Morgan x Pirate Worldwide capsule is the perfect example of how fashion can elevate that feeling. The hat and tee blend Captain Morgan’s playful vibe with Pirate’s one-of-a-kind style.” For this collection, the duo’s tee-and-hat release incorporates a vintage image of the Captain with co-branded details on both pieces.

“These pieces have a laid-back, vintage feel that’s effortlessly cool and stands out in a crowd,” says Wilson. “Whether you’re rocking it with your crew at a tailgate or just out for the day.” Easy to style for game days and beyond, these pieces symbolize much more than just sportswear. Behind these pieces is the concept of bringing people together for a great adventure. Both pieces are available via PirateWorldwide.com and retail for $65 and $60, respectively. Although Captain Morgan has become known for its quality rums, this new collaboration brings it into the world of sports and fashion, a partnership that seems almost natural.

Christopher Nolan and Hamilton made a bronze watch fit for The Odyssey

Hamilton and Christopher Nolan team up again, with a bronze field watch for timed for the debut of The Odyssey.

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Here's a first for a company that's spent decades sticking its watches into movies: this one was built for a film it can never actually appear in. That's the twist on the Khaki Field Auto The Odyssey Limited Edition, Hamilton's latest team-up with Christopher Nolan tied to his upcoming epic The Odyssey (in theaters July 17).

Since the film is set in the Bronze Age, it's pretty unlikely that anybody was wearing a wristwatch. For us in the modern age, though, the new watch's 42mm case is bronze (it'll develop its own patina over time). The black dial looks like Odysseus's helmet; there are a pair of sword-shaped hands in bronze, and the 12 o'clock index is modeled on a rivet from the scabbard. You get the idea. Meanwhile, the titanium case back is engraved with the helmet and Nolan's signature.

VERO Watches drops a watch reminding you forest fire prevention is all you

VERO Smokey Bear Blue Skies sends 10% of proceeds to prevent forest fires

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

VERO Watches is built to find the man who embraces his lineage. I am not talking about his nationality. I am not talking about his race or his heritage. I am talking about the lineage that brought us from the caves and the frontier to the more civilized and modernized world we recognize today. These are watches for explorers. These are watches for the man who ditches the cubicle and the office. The boardroom is a prison for our adventurous spirit, and VERO figured that out and is creating watches to help the man disappear from that existence to reclaim his place in the wilderness. Now that the dramatic part is over, I can tell you about the new drop featuring one of our favorite characters from our childhood, Smokey the Bear. The new VERO Smokey Bear Blue Skies is set up to remind all of us of one single truth.

Preventing forest fires is your responsibility

Watches That Celebrate America

What makes an American watch today? We explore the brands keeping the country's horological tradition alive.

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

My first horological crushes were glamorous European supermodels with names like Cartier, Audemars Piguet, and Patek Philippe. As my tastes matured, the Far East captured my fancy when I discovered the restrained elegance of Naoya Hida, Grand Seiko, and Hajime Asaoka. But every rambling heart eventually finds its way home. Now, a seasoned chronophile, I'm head over heels for all-American beauties.

I sat down with American horology hero Cameron Weiss to learn about the history of Yankee watchmaking. After cutting his teeth at Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin, Cameron founded Weiss Watch Company, a trailblazer in the revival of American mechanical watchmaking. Cameron also hosts two of the internet’s most entertaining watch podcasts: Watch & Listen and The Watchmaker’s Workshop.
