It is often that the guest of honor arrives late to the party.  This year at the SIHH watch show, Vacheron Constantin introduced their updated Overseas line of timepieces.  These newly designed Overseas, with a sleeker look and new movements, debuted in a chronograph and time/date model.  What could be more fitting than for a watch named the Overseas to debut in its latest complication, the world-time.  This classic complication is produced by many watch houses but it is rare to see it in this versatile setting.

Slightly larger than the other new overseas, the world-time measures 43.5mm in diameter.  A case and bracelet of stainless steel, this Vacheron is truly a high end sport watch.  A single screw down crown operates the time as well as the world-time function.  Water resistant to 150m, this is the first world time I have seen that can be labeled the true travelers world time.  On the dial are the names of 37 cities laid out in a surprisingly legible fashion avoiding the potential clutter this complication can bring.  Blue, silver, and brown dials offer different contrast giving each piece a different personality.  To accompany the quick release system for easy strap change, each piece comes with both rubber and crocodile straps.

When you were a child, your parents likely bought you a pajama set featuring your favorite superhero or cartoon characters.

St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, kidnapped and brought to the island as an enslaved person at 16.

Freezing jeans shouldn’t really be a thing — here’s why
Why you should stop putting your jeans in the freezer

Recently, I reached into a friend’s freezer for an ice sphere and came across a pair of neatly folded jeans. This sight took me by surprise not because it was unusual, but because the practice felt so dated. For those that might not have heard of the practice, the idea behind freezing your best jeans is that freezing denim kills bacteria from well-worn jeans without actually having to wash them and affect the fade or overall integrity of the denim.

When did freezing jeans become a thing?
Jeans have been around since 1871. These popular pants were invented by Jacob W. Davis and patented by Davis and Levi Strauss. Though people have anecdotally frozen their denim for years, more as an odor-removing process than anything else, Levi Strauss actually pushed this practice into the mainstream in 2011. In 2014, Levi Strauss' CEO Chip Bergh repeated longstanding advice from the jean company; don't wash your jeans, freeze them instead. Bergh's reminder was more of a conservation effort to get people to freeze their jeans to stretch out the time between washes.
