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.

Casio brings back its impossibly small ring watch
Second chance: Casio's miniature ring watch returns to American market
Casio Ring Watch CRW001-1

Casio announced the US restock of its Ring Watch CRW001-1 on July 1st, bringing back the small timepiece that sold out quickly after it came out in America in late 2024. The restock follows successful lottery sales in the UK and Japan, showing that people around the world want this digital watch that goes on a finger.
The Ring Watch CRW001-1 shows Casio's bold way of looking at wearable technology—it shrinks standard digital watch functions into a ring that measures only 25.2mm across and weighs 16 grams. Even though it is small, the timepiece keeps necessary features, including support for two time zones, a stopwatch that measures 1/100th of a second, and hourly flash alerts.
Casio US confirmed the July 1st restock on Instagram, saying the watch would only be available through the brand's online store, not in physical shops. Compared to the lottery systems in other places, American customers will buy the watch in the order they arrive—this might cause a lot of competition among people who collect things and those who like technology.
The small digital screen has a backlight so you can see it in different light. The stainless steel build makes it sturdy, even though it is small. The ring fits size 22 fingers (US 10.5, EU U), and you can adjust it down to size 19 (19mm inner diameter) or size 16 (18mm inner diameter).
The engineering needed to put normal digital watch parts into a ring shape shows how well they made it. The 1/100th second stopwatch is as exact as bigger Casio watches. Travelers who want to check the time without others knowing will like the two-time zone feature.
Casio did not say the exact restock time but told interested customers to sign up for email notifications about when it would be ready. That way may help manage the internet traffic while making sure serious buyers learn about buying chances in time.
The Ring Watch's appeal shows more people are interested in other types of wearable devices, not just ones worn on the wrist. Casio's good result with this unusual approach shows that people want new watch designs that question common ideas about what a watch should look like.
The quick sellout after the US launch, along with international lottery systems, suggests that collectors are very interested and that the watch might sell for more later. Casio has not said anything about more restocks in other places after the July 1st US availability, keeping the watch special.
This restock gives American buyers a second chance to get one of the most noticeable wearable technology releases of the year, bringing together Casio's history with digital watches and its push to make things very small.
