Worn Out Wednesday – Evan Rosenberg

By

Today we speak to Evan Rosenberg, Partner, Atwood Kitchen & Bar Room.

I have lived in New York my whole life, calling Manhattan home for the past 10.  While in college for web design, I landed my first hospitality job with the Hudson & Royalton Hotels (Morgans Hotel Group), handling weekend marketing, promotions and DJ bookings.  It was there that I met my current business partner Dan Rieger, who shares the same passion for the bar and restaurant industry that I do.

From there my hospitality career took off, entering a nightlife startup company that connected customers to bars, restaurants and clubs around NYC. As the director of sales, I signed up 175 Manhattan and New Jersey based venues, which eventually led to my next job as the head of in-house marketing and promotions at Paige Hospitality Group. Fast forward three and a half years, at the age of 28 I contacted Dan and we decided the time had come for us to open our own venue. Atwood Kitchen & Bar Room was born.

My philosophy is that excellence in one area of life promotes excellence in all others. This is why I work so hard at creating a brand around everything I love. I try to incorporate fashion, design, social media, health, networking and fitness into all things Atwood.

As for my personal style, I try and be unique. I know the way that one dresses has an impact on the first impression someone has (better be a good one!) so I try and always ensure that what I wear gives off a great reflection to not only my employees but also the customers I deal with each and every day. 

Jeans: I am not a huge denim guy but I prefer Sevens (the Paxtyn cut) Skinny.

Shirts: White button downs are my go-to as they can be dressed up or down very easily. My favorite is a custom fitted button down, but for the relaxed feel I go with J. Crew or John Varvatos.   

Pants: Club Monaco is the best for functionality. They are a great every day pant that can easily be dressed up with a tucked in button down or sports coat.

Suits: Some of the best things in my closet are my custom suits.  It is not just about the suit but rather the experience I have creating it.  Windsor Custom is great with this.  To me, it is important to feel and touch each fabric and texture before I wear it. You can choose everything – buttons, stitching, lining etc and enjoy a cocktail while doing it.   VKNagrani is also a great company for suiting; they have a great hidden “lodge” over on East 77th street. 

Shoes:

Dress shoes: Paul Smith or John Varvatos wingtips, Duke & Dexter, Massimo Dutti Moccasins

Fitness/Training shoes: Nike & Asics

Comfort: Keds Champion Slip On

Best cheap hang out t-shirts, button downs, sweats: Uniqlo  

Hat: Atwood Trucker Hat

Bracelets: The Charming Bee, Trashness, Divine Heir

Watches: Panerai PAM 164 Luminor Marina (Black Face) with interchangeable watchbands.

 Glasses: Warby Parker

Jackets: John Varvatos, Ralph Lauren Diamond Quilted Vest, Leather Ralph Lauren Biker Jacket

Favorite Cologne: Bond No. 9 Bleeker Street

Your favorite App: Most used – Instagram.  Most helpful – Uber. 

Favorite piece of technology: My Prong phone case.  It allows me to charge my iPhone without a wire or while I am on the go.

Next tech purchase: I plan on purchasing about 8-9 TVs for the Bar Room at Atwood before September and a new iPhone for myself.

Picture it…

You wake up, take a look at your automatic watch, and then realize it has stopped in the middle of the night. In an instant, your mind is likely to unwrap a plethora of potential issues that could be the culprit.  Initially, it’s startling and frustrating, and it takes a small quagmire to figure out the next step of why automatic watches stop at night. Do you locate the nearest and your most trusted watchmaker and possibly pay an exorbitant fee, or do you devise a plan to fix it on your own?

Patrick Dempsey becomes face of Tag Heuer eyewear in expanded ambassador role
From watches to eyewear: Dempsey extends tag heuer partnership into new territory
Patrick dempsey for tag heuer eyewear

Dempsey has been a brand ambassador for over a decade. His dual career as an actor and a professional racing driver, including a podium finish at the 24 Hours of Le Mans-fits the brand’s focus on performance, precision, and lasting style.
Dempsey’s expanded role comes with Tag Heuer’s latest eyewear launch. The collection was made in collaboration with Thélios, LVMH’s eyewear division. The campaign features Dempsey wearing two key models: the Jack Heuer and Mini Vingt-Sept lines.
One campaign image stands out. Dempsey recreates a well-known portrait of Jack Heuer holding a chronograph. This visual connects the brand’s heritage with its future. The timing is fitting, following Dempsey’s role as racing legend Piero Taruffi in the 2024 film “Ferrari.” This nods to Jack Heuer’s partnership with an Italian automaker in 1971.
The 2025 eyewear collection has three lines. The Jack Heuer frames are inspired by 1960s pilots and use Japanese titanium and ChromaFade lenses. The Mini Vingt-Sept line updates the brand’s technical eyewear with steel hinges and bio-nylon temples. The Shield Pro line is focused on performance, offering flexible frames and interchangeable lenses.
Dempsey’s involvement with Tag Heuer has always been hands-on. He’s attended events like the Monaco Grand Prix and boutique openings. In 2019, he received the “Spirit of Le Mans” award for his contributions to endurance racing.
This eyewear collaboration is a natural next step for both Dempsey and Tag Heuer, continuing a shared story of racing, design, and innovation in the luxury world.

H. Moser makes rose gold rival to Rolex’s Rainbow Daytona
60 baguette sapphires and a flying tourbillon: moser's new rainbow streamliner
H Moser Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton Rainbow

H. Moser & Cie. has introduced its most ornate Streamliner so far with the new Tourbillon Skeleton Rainbow edition. This watch directly competes with Rolex’s Rainbow Daytona in the very expensive sports watch category.
Available in rose gold (CHF 175,000) or stainless steel (CHF 125,000), the 40mm watch is a showcase of both watchmaking and jewelry skills. The bezel is set with 60 carefully selected baguette-cut colored sapphires.
The Streamliner’s cushion-shaped case created unique challenges for gem-setters. Each sapphire had to be chosen for its color to create a rainbow gradient around the bezel, and each one also had to be cut to a different size to fit the case design.
At the center of this watch is Moser’s skeletonized HMC 814 automatic movement, visible through the open dial. The large one-minute flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock serves as both a technical feature and a visual focal point.
A look at the back of the watch reveals similar attention to detail. The Moser-branded rose gold rotor is skeletonized, exposing the gears, wheels, bridges, and springs of the movement underneath.
Production numbers will be limited, not by a set amount, but by the time and complexity required to make each one. This highlights the skill involved in crafting every piece.
The Rainbow Streamliner stands apart from Moser’s usual simple design, which is known for its fumé dials and minimalist approach. Still, it maintains the brand’s focus on independent watchmaking, while entering a category associated with brands like Rolex and its Rainbow Daytona watch that has become highly sought after on the resale market.
With its integrated bracelet, movement finishing, and elaborate gem-setting, the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton Rainbow is a contender in the growing group of high-jewelry sports watches. These timepieces combine technical expertise with unmistakable luxury.
