Warby Parker’s New Eye-Catching 2017 Collections

Four-eyed friends, rejoice! Warby Parker has released its first collection of 2017 and unlike most spectacle robber barons, these glasses start at just $95 for frames and lenses.

The new Spring collections are bold takes on classic designs and will perfectly frame your 2017-edition face.

The new styles are in keeping with the company’s aesthetic of modern twists on classic frames. The Moore frames, for example, hint at the 1970s with big, wide lenses and a flat brow, but you won’t look like an extra from That 70s Show. The Durand lenses are about as traditional as you can get with their big rounded lens, but with that Warby Twist: two toned-colors.

Sure, you can opt for the traditional tortoiseshell for the traditional frame, but why not go for blue on top or clear on the bottom? Or even tortoiseshell and with red edges? If you’re going to wear the frames all the time, they might as well have some personality.

Or, if metal is more your style, hang on until February when Warby Parker releases their new metal frame collection for both glasses and sunglasses. With clean designs and metal accents, you’re sure to turn heads. Take the nod to the 80s and 90s with the Bennett sunglasses: ink brushed metal and colorful mirrored lenses, and a double brow bar. All other sunglasses will pale in comparison to your hip defense against UV light.

Warby Parker makes it ridiculously easy to try on all the new styles with home try-ons. Pick out five at a time and for no cost, the frames arrive at your home or office. Try them on with different outfits, poll your friends, and send them back in the pre-paid box. Or, if you live in any of these states, head on down to their stores and try everything on!

Graphpaper and PUMA elevate the Speedcat Plus in a monochrome triple-leather
PUMA's Speedcat sneaker gets a minimalist upgrade

In the last couple of seasons, PUMA’s Speedcat silhouette has slowly become the brand’s answer to Adidas’ Samba and Nike’s Cortez revival. As the other brands continue to reinvent and reimagine some of their iconic sneakers, PUMA has taken to designs like the Speedcat for another pass through the spotlight. As the sneaker continues to reach a new audience with playful prints and textures, the brand hasn’t slowed down on releasing new iterations of the classic sneaker. In their latest collaboration on the Speedcat, PUMA has joined forces with Japanese label Graphpaper for a pared-down and subtle take on the sneaker that’s equally as retro as it is elevated. While this partnership takes on the Speedcat Plus, the silhouette’s more statement version, the iconic shape and style of the original Speedcat remains, with remnants of its racing past still visible.

Zenith’s space-forged chronograph goes worldwide
Zenith's Space-Forged Chronograph Expands
CHRONOMASTER SPORT METEORITE

Zenith has expanded global availability for its Chronomaster Sport Meteorite, a timepiece featuring authentic space fragments integrated into the dial.
Previously exclusive to Japan, the 41mm chronograph now reaches international markets through Zenith boutiques and authorized retailers at $17,500. Each watch incorporates a dial crafted from genuine meteorite that traveled through space for millions of years before reaching Earth and Zenith's Le Locle facilities.
The meteorite dials showcase the Widmanstätten pattern, a geometric formation created when molten iron cools gradually in space's vacuum. Hand-finishing reveals these cosmic crystalline structures, ensuring each dial remains unique. Against this extraterrestrial backdrop, Zenith's signature tri-color chronograph counters in silver, light grey, and anthracite create visual contrast with circular azuré finishing.
The stainless steel case preserves the design language of Zenith's 1969 A386 chronograph while incorporating contemporary elements like a black ceramic bezel marked with 10-second graduations. Pump-style pushers and modern proportions blend heritage aesthetics with current styling, while 10 ATM water resistance ensures daily practicality.
The timepiece houses Zenith's El Primero 3600 movement, the latest iteration of the brand's high-frequency chronograph caliber that earned the 2021 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève "Chronograph" award. Operating at 5 Hz with a silicon escape wheel, the movement achieves 1/10th second precision with the chronograph hand completing full rotations every 10 seconds.
The caliber provides 60 hours of power reserve and displays refined decoration through the sapphire caseback, including a blue column wheel, horizontal clutch, and openworked rotor featuring the Zenith star emblem.
The package includes both an integrated steel bracelet and black rubber strap for wearing versatility.
