Person, Sitting, Boy — Yves Solomon

We’re at the end of May, which means we’re starting to look dreadfully hot days dead in the face. The humidity is about to rise, and the sun is about to bounce off the pavement to bake us all like chickens. That may be a bit dramatic, but as the temps start to rise, we are often fooled into thinking it is time to put the outerwear away and break out the resort wear. Swim shorts, crocheted button-ups and polos, and sandals…oh, the sandals are back. However, just when we start to get comfortable, the weather gods hit us with a cold front or a batch of clouds to drop rain to ruin our beach dreams. Because this is a reality we are all dealing with, a drop like the Tves Solomon Spring Edit is a godsend for us needing to stay warm and dry in the middle weeks before the summer truly hits. And, it may make us hope for the rain to hit for just a bit longer.

Transition wardrobes need this

The transition wardrobe is built to be a bridge between one extreme and the next. Fall and Spring are tailored for this kind of wardrobe, and the Yves Solomon edit offers a collection of outerwear that not only keeps you warm and dry, but does it stylishly as well.

The best casual watches for men (to upgrade your everyday style)

Work wear blues watch close up

Watches are more than a tool. They are more than an accessory. They are the kind of tool and accessory that make a statement. They are an expression. They are a statement. A man can look incredible: the right top, the right bottom, great shoes, great hat. The wrong watch can ruin a look, or even the whole essence. Here is the rub: the wrong watch can be subjective. For instance, most people will tell you that a Timex broken watch isn’t the right watch for a pinstripe power suit. However, it was my grandfather’s watch, and I wear it anytime I need him and his guidance. The point? That is never the wrong watch. Once you find a casual watch that works for you, it will be your everyday wear and will never be the wrong watch.

That is what I collected here: The best of the casual watches you can pick up today that will become your everyday wear.

Audemars Piguet launches pre-owned program to rival the titan of the second-hand watch market

Audemars Piguet

Rolex has dominated the watch world for nearly a century. The industry is a deep and complicated web of luxury houses and independent hopefuls. While brands like Patek Phillipe and Cartier vie for their place on the podium, Rolex holds a death grip on the chronophile’s aspirational collection checklist. But Audemars Piguet has decided to challenge them somewhere most other brands are deciding to ignore: the pre-owned market. Now, while something like the Royal Oak is an icon among enthusiasts, AP launching their own certified pre-owned marketplace to chase the reported $1 billion Rolex pie will certainly upset the market.

Like I said, it is a deep and complicated web, so I sat down with a horological expert and founder of WatchGuys, (317K on Instagram), Robertino Altieri, to have him walk me through what this means for watches and their passionate collectors.
