Vuori Clothing Puts California Cool Into Your Workout Gear

For those of us lucky enough to live near the beach, we tend to get as much time as possible on the sand.

This includes the daily workout. And because staying fashionable while working up a sweat is key when in a highly visible place like the beach, Vuori Clothing’s new spring/summer lineup is here to help you do just that.

The California company was started by two pro skateboarder friends who couldn’t find performance clothing that was right for them. They began to build a following around shorts and other light gear that is “inspired by an integration of yoga, surf, sports, music and life.” They have everything from the “Banks” short, which is primed for the water to the “Tradewind” performance shirt, which is 100% polyester and 100% ready for any workout.

The brand’s entire vibe is relaxed and the rest of its lineup follows suits. They have at least 30 different variations on 5-6 different short styles, meaning there’s something to suit everyone.

We especially like the “Trail” short, which was purposely designed to reduce drag and resistance following the natural motion of running. It has a built in boxer brief liner for extra comfort too.

You can feel good supporting Vuori too as they continually reinvest in their local Encinitas, California community by hosting art shows, fitness classes and much more.

You can see their entire lineup and decide which is right for you here.

Audemars Piguet reveals its latest music collaboration
DJs playing in front of heavy crows

Audemars Piguet has already made a name for itself in the world of horology. The brand, known for its luxury and quality craftsmanship, is considered a standard in the watch industry. And while there’s no doubt it will continue to surprise and innovate its timepieces, nowadays, it's looking to new horizons for its collaborations. Instead of collaborating with an athlete, model, or actor, Audemars Piguet is partnering with Berlin music label KEINEMUSIK to explore the worlds of nature, technology, and music. With this collaboration, both parties are not creating the latest watch but rather a celebration that indulges fans of music and horology. Far from what you would expect from Audemars Piguet, this latest collaboration sees the brand stepping out of its norm and delivering a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration that mixes watches and music. 
Audemars Piguet x KEINEMUSIK

In this collaboration, Audemars Piguet emphasizes the importance of timing, both in watches and in music. The culmination of this partnership was a celebration held in the Swiss Alps, which saw a party where time was nowhere to be found. Headlining the party was KEINMUSIK, a collective and electronic music label created by four talented DJs. For this collaboration, Rampa, &ME, and Adam Port put the music on the forefront and entertained guests until the end. The collective is no stranger to being part of something great, as their recent meteor rise into stardom has taken them to different points of the globe with sold-out performances.

Although A. Lange & Söhne rebrand is only 35 years old, its pieces have the mark of a centuries-old brand. While it's true that A. Lange & Söhne goes back much further than 35 years, the ‘recent’ refresh of the company has brought some of the details of older craftsmanship. In their newest release, Datograph Handwerkskunst, A. Lange & Söhne is a rare timepiece with intricate details, elegant work, and top-of-the-line designs. The release is part of a larger celebration that marks the 25th anniversary of the Datograph, the brand’s first chronograph. Earlier, the brand released Datograph Up/Down and Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon Honeygold “Lumen” as part of this anniversary year. The Datograph Handwekskunst has been announced as a bonus to this new lineup of stunning watches. 
The Datograph Handwerkskunst

Handwekskunst isn’t a new term for A. Lange & Söhne. Used primarily to mark special or limited edition pieces, this Datograph piece is set to be a rare gem for watch collectors. Filled with ornate decorations and markings, the Datograph Handwerkskunst is a truly one-of-a-kind piece. With a black-rhodium main dial and rhodium, light-grey totalizers, this new piece contains delicately placed decorations and ornate tremblage engraving. This combination gives the watch a unique three-dimensional structure that captures subtle light reflections. Elements that complete the textured dial are an arched logo, minute and second graduations, and a tachymeter scale. Two sub-dials complete the watch, placed in the typical Datograph location. Housing this dial is a 41mm yellow-gold case, matching the dial’s hands and markers.

Introducing the new green malachite dial

There are plenty of details to marvel at when it comes to a Frederique Constant Moonphase Date Manufacture, but there’s no doubt that the green dial steals the show. Housed in a 40mm polished, three-part 18k white-gold case, the watch comes fitted with a green malachite dial with streaks of black and light green throughout. With a size of 40mm, this timepiece also contains an anti-reflective convex sapphire crystal.  The green malachite dial contains a moonphase and pointer date sub-dial which sits on the 6 o’clock mark.
