Versace introduces a bold burgundy dial for its V-Contempo GMT Gent timepiece

V-CONTEMPO GMT GENT WATCH
Versace

Versace unveils a timepiece that masterfully combines Italian opulence with practical globetrotting functionality in the captivating new Burgundy V-Contempo GMT Gent. This latest model of the revered V-Contempo collection immediately commands attention with its rich, wine-red dial, a color evoking refined passion and timeless elegance. The sophisticated color palette is complemented by a robust 43mm case which provides a commanding yet impeccably balanced presence on the wrist. The signature Medusa motif, exquisitely rendered at the 12 o’clock position, serves as a powerful marker of the brand’s rich heritage, while the integrated bracelet showcases a command of ergonomic design and elevated comfort. This is a timepiece serving as a dynamic statement of confident, jetsetting style.

The V-Contempo GMT Gent is engineered for the discerning jetsetter 

Beneath an elegant exterior lies a sophisticated heart constructed for modern sophistication. The true horological prowess of this timepiece is revealed through its GMT complication, allowing the wearer to track a second time zone with precision. An arrow-tipped hand, gorgeously contrasted against a burgundy backdrop, points to a 24-hour scale inscribed on a polished inner bezel ring. This practical feature is powered by premium automatic movement, ensuring reliable accuracy whether traveling across countries or leading a boardroom. The sapphire crystal, complete with an anti-reflective coating, offers an unobstructed view of the sunray-brushed dial and its applied, polished indexes, which capture the light to produce a brilliant sparkle.

Versace continues to recalibrate the intersection of avant-garde fashion and haute horology

Also available in the classic gold and black iteration, Versace reaffirms its commitment to creating accessories that speak to a man of worldliness and taste, for whom style and function are inextricably linked. The watch stands as a testament to the brand’s ability to infuse its trademark design language with genuine mechanical utility, producing an instrument that is as capable as it is captivating. For watch aficionados in search of a bold expression of Italian luxury with a truly global perspective, this new GMT presents a compelling and distinguished option.

Stand out with new summer colors from Hockerty
Blazer, Clothing, Coat

The summer is in full swing. That means you are likely dealing with the rising temperatures to the point that you are sitting back and missing the blizzards of January. I remember standing on the corner of a street in New York and watching the snowflakes fall, thinking, "I can't wait for summer and baseball." Now, I am looking back and thinking about those temperatures, and I am wishing I had enjoyed them more. As I bake like a chicken on the streets of New York, I think about how to dress for the office while dying of heat stroke. The answer? Hockerty's new Summer Edit brings light and breathable fabrics while also adding in the kinds of colors that will take your wardrobe from stylish to functional without leaving the style behind.

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Luminox usually builds watches that look ready for a covert night operation — but its newest one looks ready for a 1950s expedition instead.

The Pfäffikon, Switzerland–based brand just dropped the Adventure Watch, a field watch styled after the timepieces of the early exploration days but built to Luminox's modern military-grade standards.

What sailors in the Race to Mackinac, America’s oldest freshwater race, wear on their wrists
The race from Chicago to Mackinac Island is a days-long battle against the Great Lakes. In that kind of contest, you need a watch as tough as the job.
Boat, Sailboat, Transportation

The Race to Mackinac has been run since 1898, when five boats set out from Chicago. Today it covers 333 statute miles up Lake Michigan, crosses into Lake Huron at the Straits of Mackinac, and finishes off Mackinac Island — and it is not an easy voyage. It is also not a gentle one. Sustained gales flattened big chunks of the fleet in 1911, 1937, and 1970, and after a deadly storm in 2011, the Mac's reputation for danger stopped being theoretical. The fastest boats finish absurdly quickly now, with an all-time record of 18 hours and 50 minutes set back in 1998, but most crews are out there for two or three nights. The sailors alternate, sleeping in shifts of four hours each, until they (hopefully) make land.

It might seem tough to imagine doing that once — now, try doing it two dozen more. For those who make the journey at least 25 times, the prize is entry into the Island Goats Sailing Society, founded in 1959 and now several hundred strong. Rack up 25 Chicago Macs and 25 from Port Huron, and you become a Double Goat. The nickname, as the story goes, comes from the aroma a crew carries after days at sea with no shower. All things considered, this is a tough, electric, occasionally dangerous race. The Chicago Yacht Club hosts the race annually in mid-July, and that's exactly where I went to look at watches.
