What to Wear: A Day in the Country

By

What better way to spend a Saturday during autumn with a day in the country? Call up your friends, grab your car, and go look for some farm-fresh produce, cheeses and local brews. Maybe rent a cabin,  have a lovely fresh dinner at a farm-to-table restaurant and most importantly, get a whiff of that fresh country air. Hell yeah!

We suggest a flannel shirt to keep you warm and comfortable. Layer a sturdy cardigan over it and bring a jacket — just in case it gets frigid at night. Sport some jeans that can take a beating, and don’t forget to select a pair of boots that are both durable and stylish. There you have it — an ensemble fit for chasing chickens and hiking trails.

Urwerk has just re-defined the conventional design with its latest timepiece. It’s made from bronze and has an interesting scale pattern that adds to the look.

“It reacts to the touch. It is alive. It re-oxidizes as soon as it is scratched, and this oxidation protects it and erases the traces of time. It is fascinating as if reacting like the skin’s natural regenerating process,” said Martin Frei, Urwerk's co-founder.
