An elegant homage to the refined lines of mid-century design,the latest iteration has been reimagined for the contemporary connoisseur cements the notion that true luxury is not defined by an exorbitant price tag, but by impeccable Swiss craftsmanship, a well-executed design philosophy, and a mission geared towards modern reliability. The Classic Dream is engineered to capture a feeling of enduring style that transcends fleeting trends.

The Classic Dream perfectly pulls off the mid-century aesthetic

The watch’s design language evokes a vintage charm that features plexiglass that offers superior scratch resistance. Complemented by a case with elegantly sculpted lugs and a choice of stunning sunburst dials in colors like deep navy, champagne, or ebony black, what takes this model to another level is the overall silhouette that stands out and makes it a versatile companion transitioning seamlessly from the office to a black tie affair.

Modern horological engineering is centered in this timepiece

Beneath the classic exterior of this luxury watch lies the modern Powermatic 80 automatic movement. This robust caliber, a hallmark of Tissot’s heritage, boasts an impressive 80-hour power reserve – engineering that allows the wearer to expect full capability and functionality for days on end, a level of convenience that belies its accessible price point. This fusion of a vintage-inspired soul with contemporary mechanical prowess is the core of the Classic Dream’s appeal, offering an aesthetic of timeless grace that is impossible to ignore.

A bold statement on accessible Swiss luxury

The Tissot Classic Dream Powermatic 80 is a timepiece for the discerning individual who appreciates horological history but lives in the modern world — a watch that delivers the prestige of a Swiss automatic movement without pretense. For those in search of a sartorially elegant watch that delivers exceptional value, the Classic Dream is a definitive and intelligent choice.

Overland Sheepskin is taking us back to the 70s and 80s with this year’s vintage look
Overland Sheepskin Co

A few years ago, I got the chance to jet off to Santa Fe and explore the mountains in a Jeep. Off-roading in some of the most beautiful country I have ever been lucky enough to view. When I was there, I hopped in a car and left the town center to head to Taos, a small outpost seemingly in the middle of nowhere. What I found was a flagship store looking the same as it did half a century ago. Attached to it was a restaurant and a few rooms to stay in. Why the interest? Because Overland Sheepskin Co. became more than a company selling coats to the people showing up in the mountains to ski, or explore. It became a center of a community. That community grew until the outerwear was known for its quality and was dubbed the King of the Mountain Towns.

Nowadays, when I think of them, I see a mountain sheriff keeping the peace. I see Robert Redford in the wilderness. I see a culture of excellence. This weekend, Overland dropped a new collection of their vintage pieces harkening back to the beginning days of their craftsmanship. The 70s and 80s return in this twelve-piece collection.

A DECADE of &SONS chronicled in a new collection
&SONS

A decade ago, Phil James had a problem. He couldn’t find anything he wanted to wear on the clothing racks. There were big names everywhere in 2016. Names that had been generational legends for years. But, no matter how hard he looked, he just couldn’t find the clothing he truly wanted to wear. So, he decided to do what any rational person would do when they have nothing to wear: He started his own business. &SONS was born, and after ten years of providing some of the best British workwear, DECADE is a collection that celebrates what he and his team have done on their journey.

I have always been drawn to the marketing side of the brand. It makes sense; James has experience in his career that predates &SONS, as a marketing photographer. So, no wonder all the images looked amazing. Noe, the new collection looks back on that experience and the rising name he has built.
