Thanks to the smart pairing of undeniable functionality and daring aesthetic, Victorinox Swiss Army knives have garnered quite the reputation since the brand got its start over 130 years ago. And that reputation will certain get a boost on March 18 when Victorinox Swiss Army releases its most luxurious interpretation of the Swiss army knife yet: A limited edition Alox silhouette in “champagne gold.”

Swiss-based and born, Victorinox is best known for its pocket knives, but it also produces high-quality household and professional knives, watches, travel gear, and fragrances. Today, however, it’s about the tried and true.

The Victorinox Swiss Army Limited Edition Collection in Champagne Gold

If you’re not up to date with the limited edition Alox collection, you may have heard about its silver edition released last year that sold out faster than you could say “pocket knife.” Nonetheless, Victorinox’s limited edition Alox is back in champagne gold with three sizes, a distinctive rubbed surface for enhanced style and grip, and personalized tools to cater to your needs.

The scales of each gold swiss army knife are punched from aluminium, embossed, and then anodized for its finished appearance. The process uses a sturdy, anodic oxidation that forms a protective layer over the finished outer layer to prevent damage and corrosion, as well as gives the scales its color.

The Pioneer design is the cream of the crop in the Alox family. Not only does this large gadget supply you with a reliable everyday blade, this model also offers a reamer for widening or filling drilled holes, a small yet useful screwdriver, a bottle opener with another screwdriver, a wire stripper, and a key ring.

All of the models in the Victorinox gold swiss army knife collection have been released before, but never in this fashion. The champagne gold gives this already proven pocket knife an exceptionally stunning aesthetic. We recommend you hop on this one now because we’re pretty sure each of these knives will sell out quick.

Breitling’s new Top Time is a wearable tribute to the Aston Martin DB5
The new watches rep the iconic Bond car right down to subdials shaped like its dashboard gauges.
Car, Watch, Man

Breitling just released a trio of heaters: the Top Time B01 Chronograph 41 Tribute to Aston Martin DB5, a three-edition collaboration with the British carmaker. The connection between the Swiss watchmaker and the British car company runs back to 1965, when a Top Time ref. 2002 appeared on Sean Connery's wrist in Thunderball, worn alongside the DB5 — the first Q-modified watch in the Bond series. It's a nice bit of trivia that the DB5 and that Top Time shared the screen in the same film, and both went on to outlive the movie by decades.

The car cues go deeper than the "squircle" gauge-shaped subdials: a wooden inner ring nods to the DB5's steering wheel, and each edition rides on a hand-colored gradient calfskin strap meant to read like automotive upholstery. All three run on Breitling's in-house Manufacture Caliber 01, a COSC-certified automatic chronograph with a 70-hour power reserve, visible through a sapphire caseback and finished with an Aston Martin-engraved rotor. The case measures 41mm. The editions are divvied up by material and rarity. Stainless steel with a silver dial is limited to 1,022 pieces and sticks closest to the original ref. 2002, while steel with a platinum bezel and black lacquered dial drops to 315 pieces.

Look to the sky for these space themed watches
These 5 space themed watches will have you seeing stars
Accessories, Strap, Wristwatch

It was the 1960s. We were in the middle of a Cold War with Russia, and instead of escalating to an actual war with bullets and bombs, we took the conflict to the sky. We created a war of economics, science, and morale in a race to the sky to be the first nation to reach the moon. While the race picked up throughout the decade, it came down to the wire before the USA won the race by landing on the moon (if you believe that sort of thing and don't believe Stanley Kubrick directed the greatest ruse of all time). In any case, no race can be run without a good timekeeper. And watches were a must-have for all involved. Ever since, chronophiles like me have been obsessed with space-themed watches and, in particular, moon mission watches.

That is why I happened to have this list in my head. Five watches that bring the space race and the great beyond to the forefront of thinking to build a collection that is out of this world.

Legendary designer has a project coming up you may not know about
Legendary designer, Tom Ford, is writing and directing a film adapting the Anne Rice novel, Cry to Heaven
Accessories, Formal Wear, Tie

Tom Ford is a name that every fashionisto knows well. He is the top of the top when you talk about famous suit makers. He began his career changing the landscape of multiple brands, including Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, before launching his own self-named brand of his own in 2005. The brand has remained a mainstay in the industry for the last 20 years, including the acquisition of Estée Lauder in 2022 for an estimated $2.8 billion. For the movie buffs in the room, you also likely know about Tom Ford because he became the exclusive tailor and suitmaker for Daniel Craig's James Bond for Quantum of Solace in 2008. He carried that gig all the way through the series and defined men's style for two decades.

Now, for the real cinephiles in the room, you may also know that Tom Ford himself is a movie buff and entered the industry as a writer and a director in 2009 by directing A Single Man with Colin Firth and Julianne Moore. Then again in 2016 with Nocturnal Animals with Amy Adams, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Michael Shannon. Of course, the wardrobe was stellar in both, and we will get a chance to see his talents onscreen again this fall with a new Anne Rice adaptation, Cry to Heaven.
