This Pop Up Shop is The Bomb!

We love a good pop up shop. But most of the time they are in New York or L.A. so not easy access for most of America. However, the smart people over at Bombfell have launched a two-week online pop up shop from April 23rd- May 7th you can see here.

Backed by some of the same investors who funded Warby Parker and Bonobos, Bombfell works with stylists to send customers a monthly box of personalized wardrobe picks right to your front door. And to offer a little backstage peak into the brands they work with the pop up shop features a curated selection of pieces from new designers that are sustainable, eco-friendly and or made in the US of A.

We are digging the Rousseau Southwest printed pocket square, the Brooklyn Grooming shave oil and the Izola letter opener that doubles as a ruler, because you never know when you need to measure an envelope.

Check it out and let us know what you think is ‘the bomb’.

The TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 45MM x Oracle Red Bull Racing Edition

Fans of Red Bull Racing have another watch to potentially add to their collection thanks to the team’s latest collaboration with TAG Heuer. TAG Heuer itself has a long history when it comes to racing, with the aptly named “TAG Heuer F1” being one of the brand's best-selling timepieces and company predecessor TAG once owning half of Red Bull’s close rivals, McLaren.

The TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 45MM x Oracle Red Bull Racing Edition differs from many luxury racing watches in its construction. Instead of a finely crafted mechanical masterpiece, it’s a smartwatch. But what it lacks in mechanical brilliance, it makes up for in smart functionality.

Almost a full decade after the release of the Satellite Wave F100, Citizen is releasing two new Satellite Wave X pieces, ready to continue the legacy of the F100. With a few modern touches, these new Citizen Satellite watches offer the same unique design as their predecessor. The Satellite Wave F100 first made waves in 2014, when its main feature allowed it to receive time signals from satellites in orbit. With a rapid time signal capture, the newest Satellite Wave X watches offer more intuitive features and polished design choices that cater to new audiences. The Satellite Wave X isn’t just an updated version of the 2014 timepiece but two new pieces that offer plenty on their own.

Citizen opted for two new pieces that honor the series's legacy while introducing some new modern touches. Both watches offer the same unique triangular shape on the four corners, which mimic satellites in space. Inside, both dials offer the same glittering design accent and inkjet printing, giving users the aura of outer space in the palm of their hands. The flat indices are finished with fine lines similar to the grooves of a vinyl recording. These unique indices are also finished with lume, which allows visibility even in the lowest-light conditions.
