Rhone Tiny House-Style Pop-Up Store Hits the Road for U.S. Tour

John Hall
By

East Coast activewear brand Rhone is known for quality shorts, shirts and anything else you’d need to get your sweat on. While their workout gear has only been available online and in select brick & mortar stores since the company’s start in 2014, they’ve opened a limited engagement store in New York City and launched Rhone pop-up tour in a tiny home they’re calling Walden House.

The NYC store is a 247-square-foot shop in Brookfield Place near Battery Park featuring vintage and repurposed elements to match the ethos of the company. Walden House is an even smaller retail space (192 square feet) modeled in the tiny house-style and completely towable by truck. The store features reclaimed wood, organic materials, and other energy-saving features within the footprint that’s meant to invite plenty of natural light.

To create Walden House, Rhone partnered with New Frontier, a design firm that specializes in building mini structures. Together, they’ve created a special shopping experience that should mold nicely to each tour stop. The storefront is similar to some of the buildings that New Frontier has featured on various HGTV programs. They blend together functionality, style, and environmental considerations into 21st century commerce that still has a personal touch.

New Longines Spirit Flyback is a callback to aviation history with a timeless flyback complication
Longines has done it again
Longines Spirit Flyback collection

Longines, a name synonymous with precision and elegance in watchmaking, has a rich heritage deeply intertwined with aviation history. The brand has consistently paid homage to its aviation legacy through its watch collections, and the new Longines Spirit Flyback is no exception. We're diving into the remarkable world of Longines and exploring the exceptional features of three distinct variations of the Spirit Flyback, highlighting their significance in the realm of men's watches.
Longines: A legacy of aviation
Before we embark on the journey of discovering this luxury watch, it's essential to appreciate the brand's historical connection to aviation. For over 100 years, Longines has been a prominent figure in the aviation industry, providing pilots with precise timekeeping instruments. This heritage is not only a testament to Longines's commitment to excellence, but also a source of inspiration for its aviation-themed collections.

The Longines Spirit Flyback collection pays tribute to the brand's aviation heritage by combining classic design elements with modern technology. This collection includes three remarkable timepieces, each with its own unique strap. For those who appreciate a more classic look, a brown leather strap is often associated with pilot's watches and perilous exploration. They can remind us of the pioneering aviators like Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart, who relied on durable and stylish timepieces during their historic flights. Or perhaps, Steven McQueen, famous for his rugged and masculine style, especially in movies like Bullitt. If you appreciate a more contemporary look, the Longines Spirit Flyback with a stainless steel bracelet and blue dial exudes confidence, while the beige NATO strap adds a more casual vibe.
