The company — a one-stop shop for horology news, reviews and of course, products — launched a run of handsome watch straps from its new High Craft-Vintage series last month, specifically in a rich Navy Chromexcel and a rugged Peanut Suede. These straps are tough, durable, hand-finished and possibly the perfect addition to your favorite everyday watch. The new introductions complement the site’s overall approach — since 2011, they’ve published more than 100 videos and 1,000-plus articles — yes, you read that right — covering what they call “value-driven watches,” with a focus on “unique and thoughtful design,” plus top-notch construction to match. Sounds good, right?

And the eye-catching new straps play nicely off other additions to the brand’s product line, such as new colors in Worn & Wound’s easy-to-use Single-Pass line of watch straps. Need a new black leather watch strap? The Single-Pass line is the way to go — for under $90 full-price, or under $80 on-sale.  It’s a heck of a way to add a new, durable and stylish casual watch to your collection — all while simply changing the strap.

Lest you worry about finding a belt to match that sharp new watch strap, Worn & Wound has been thinking ahead in that department, too. Its classic leather belts are made with Wickett & Craig leather (some of the best of the best) and assembled in America. It’s the ideal way to pair up your watch strap and belt without missing a beat — now, you only need rugged leather boots to finish off a next-level #OOTD.

What’s the best way to transport your new favorite watch strap, though? Again, Worn & Wound does the advance thinking for you. The Waxed Olive Watch Roll — introduced back in November — starts with a durable waxed army-duck canvas and is finished off with Horween Olive Chamois trimming. It’s no ordinary way to carry around your watches, that’s for sure. The great part about all of this gear? It’s finished with extreme attention to detail and the sort of handsome, classic aesthetic that should complement your everyday carry — that goes for the durable watch straps and carries through to fine leather belts.

What are you waiting for? Upgrade your watch game now.

Gap focuses on musical talent for ‘Give Your Gift’ holiday campaign
Come together with music and style
Gap musicians

When was the last time you sat around with friends to listen to the newest EP dropped by your favorite artist? It used to be an excuse to get together in your friend's basement (usually, whoever had the parent who provided the most snacks) and open the new CD. It was about the music, but it was also about the company. Experiencing music together has always been a way for us to unite and navigate life together. Whether you realize it or not, it also shaped our style as well. The way the artist dressed and the way that our friends dressed all shaped how we saw ourselves and presented that image to the world. Gap is kicking off our holiday season with that in mind as the Gap "Give Your Gift" campaign focuses on the meeting point of music and style in our youth.

“We want to be where our customers are, delivering engaging style-led content and quality products both in-store and online,” said Fabiola Torres, chief marketing officer of Gap. “Partnering with the right talent drives cultural connections and builds community with new audiences. This year's campaign champions creators’ authentic voices and styles, celebrating their creativity and originality.”

Celebrating 150 years of Bulova: An iconic watch brand and American treasure
The 150 year milestone is an incredible achievement for this all-American brand.
Original Bulova Watches sign from the early 1900s tinted

Today, we have the pleasure of experiencing two interviews with influential contacts from Bulova, one of the longest-standing watch companies in the country, which is now celebrating its 150th anniversary. For the first interview, Dan Gaul sits down with Jeffrey Cohen, CEO of Citizen Watch America's portfolio of brands, which includes Citizen, Bulova, Caravelle, Wittnauer, Frederique Constant, Alpina, Arnold & Son, and Ateliers deMonaco. Gaul also sits down with Carl Rosen, Museum Curator, and former COO, to talk about Bulova's New York City headquarters and archives. There's a lot of ground to cover, so let's go.
Interviewing a Bulova legend
Bear in mind there's no video content for the initial interview with Jeffrey Cohen; instead, we'll be looking at direct quotes. Why is he such a big deal? With over 37 years of management experience and over 43 years in the industry, he understands the ins and outs. "I saw immediately the beauty and passion of the watch world, and I knew that this would be my life," Cohen says. Thanks to Jeffrey Cohen's strong leadership qualities, major investments in infrastructure and technology, and his focus on developing talent, Citizen Watch America is one of the leading groups in the industry, bar none.

Naturally excited, Gaul opens by briefly explaining how he approached his interview prepping and what stood out most to him: "Hearing about all the firsts that Bulova has done, and also the way that it has given back over those 150 years to the community, to the country, to the industry is a fascinating story."

Ulysse Nardin modifies the Freak One watch model
Here's the new 2024 Ulysse Nardin Freak One Navy Blue—a refined version of the original one
UN Freak One Navy Blue

Launched into the market in 2001, the Ulysse Nardin Freak was the first timepiece to come with an escapement that’s manufactured from silicon elements. Apart from the unique escapement, it was also the first timepiece to use its movement to denote the time.

Just like the first model to be launched into the market, the 2024 UN Freak One Navy Blue is constructed from sophisticated materials and comes with more refined features—from the automatic winding system to the bezel. As the name hints, the dial has a blue hue that blends smoothly with black elements featured on the watch’s movement.
