TGIF Shopping: Visionary Boot By Brave Gentleman

Visionary Boot - Brown Every man needs a good pair of boots that will age gracefully through more than one winter. While we appreciate leather, the Visionary Boot (100 percent vegan) by Brave GentleMan can hold up just as well as the best calfskin on the market. We are not suggesting you change your mind about throwing a steak on the grill, but these boots give you a wardrobe option you can feel good about. They are 100 percent vegan, sustainable and fair labor.

Vacheron Constantin marks 270 years with the steel Historiques 222
A stylish steel watch pays tribute to Vacheron
Vacheron Constantin Historiques 222

To celebrate its 270th anniversary and usher in the new year, Vacheron unveiled a steel variant of the Historiques 222, a watch that dates back to 1977.

The original Historiques 222, the brainchild of Jorg Hysek, was rolled out with a pioneering design. Most watches had a sports-like look in the '70s, but the Historiques 222 changed all that, bridging two worlds with a formal and casual design. It featured an integrated bracelet and a case topped by a fluted bezel and stamped with a Maltese cross at 5 o'clock. It also featured an ultra-thin Calibre 1120 and measured 3.05 mm, making it the world’s thinnest full-rotor automatic movement at the time.
