The Manual Wind: Tag Heuer Carrera Heuer 01 Chronograph

Marketing in the watch world has become as competitive as the events the brands sponsor.  When Jean-Claud Biver took the wheel at Hublot, a marketing push of the then fresh Big Bang ensued.  Creating partnerships with sporting events and teams, brands, and the famous not only spawned a huge demand for this new timepiece, but a new image for Hublot.  Having left Hublot but remaining in the LVMH family, Biver has taken on his latest project; the revival of Tag Heuer.  The first piece under this new regime was just released at the 2015 Basel Watch Fair.  The Tag Heuer Carrera Caliber Heuer 01.

This piece is truly characteristic of the Biver mindset.  A modular case of twelve different parts able to be produced in many colors, materials, and finishes is the recipe for creating what will surely be the newest Tag Heuer flagship timepiece.  Within this newly designed 45mm titanium case lies what will also be the new standard for Tag Heuer, the Caliber Heuer 01.  This new in-house automatic column wheel chronograph raises the bar for Tag Heuer.  All dressed up for its debut, this movement can be 15btag01aseen through the dial of the new piece not only making for a technical looking watch, but showing how Tag now means business.  New case design, new movement, new Biver identity.

The Tag Heuer brand is repositioning.  With the watch brand turn-around king now setting the course, this established brand is ready to enter the tough terrain that the watch world has become.  Biver’s clear goal with Tag Heuer is to create an attractive, reliable, high quality swiss timepiece all the while remaining in a modest price point.  This first example, priced well below ten thousand dollars, is only the first strike.  Next through the rumor mill, a Tag Heuer Tourbillon priced under twenty thousand.  Stay tuned!

The 10 best men’s workout shirts to help you get fit in 2023

There are multiple things to consider when purchasing new workout apparel. You want to make sure you do your due diligence beforehand. When looking for the optimal workout shirt, functionality often takes precedence over style, for most men. After all, a minimalist cotton t-shirt is ideal, but it won't look (or smell) so great after an hour-long workout, especially if your working out, outdoors. That's why, in the past decade, some of our favorite activewear brands like Lululemon, Vuori, and Under Armour have developed breathable fabrics with moisture-wicking and odor-fighting technology that are now practically must-haves for any exercise gear, especially when it comes to making high-quality shirts.

That being said, not all workout tops are created equal. When it comes to finding the right workout fit, make sure it doesn't feel too tight or baggy around your underarms, your shoulders, or across your chest, i.e., the areas you exercise most. We sifted through some of the most popular brands to select the best workout shirts that are as practical as they are fashionable. Here are our top picks for the best men's workout shirts of 2023.
