New York City’s so-called NoMad (North of Madison Square Park) neighborhood has been hyped as the next Manhattan hot spot by real estate agents for a few years but now it may actually be living up to the buzz thanks to Todd Snyder.

The acclaimed menswear designer and Iowa native opened his first-ever flagship store at 25 Madison Square North (aka West 26th Street) last week and the 4,500-square-foot destination shop is basically retail catnip for gents who like to dress – and shop and live – well.

Carrying Snyder’s full assortment, including his Made in the USA Black suiting collection, the Made in Canada White suiting collection, and his new Made in Los Angeles Selvedge Denim line, the welcoming and handsome shop with an old-school European feel also sells pieces by Champion, Timex, Mackintosh, Globe Trotter, Tricker’s and Alden. In addition, there are onsite tailors to provide individual customization plus a selection of rotating and limited gifts, art and furniture that’s curated through a partnership with 1stdibs.com.

The space also houses a Persons of Interest barbershop with an old-fashioned tile floor and bespoke barber chairs made in Japan, a café/bar near the entrance by Nick Morgenstern of El Rey Coffee Bar & Luncheonette, and shop-in-shops by Moscot eyewear and Aesop grooming. Thus it’s a place where guys can get suited up, gussied up, and liquored up in a perfect example of “one-stop shopping.”

“It’s a great place to come for a seasonal wardrobe upgrade with a personal stylist, to get fitted for your next suit while enjoying an espresso or a beer, or to hang out with friends while getting a haircut and a shave,” Snyder says of the store.

After visiting it, we couldn’t agree with that “great place” part more.

Note: Personal styling consultations at the shop can be booked by stopping by in person or emailing privateclient@toddsnyder.com.

The IWC Portugieser collection

The collection throws it back to the Portugieser of the 1930s, where the design got its first inspiration from those gorgeous navigational watches on the deck of a ship. Keep that nautical theme in your head because each piece in the collection has celestial details as the star.

This new Cartier watch tells time backwards
Turn back time with the new Santos
Cartier Rewind on wrist

Wristwatches may be distinctly masculine pieces of hardware now, thanks to some very popular people in pop culture and in our own history adopting them. British super spy James Bond, movie stars, and athletes are the people we look up to who wear watches that catch our eye. Soldiers, cops, firefighters, and first responders wear watches they trust to ensure they can save lives. Pilots and divers created an entire industry around watches specifically designed for their vocations. And the very first pilot's watch was none other than a Cartier watch.

Alberto Santos-Dumont was a pioneer in the flight world and was one of the first people on Earth to achieve air travel. He was a competitor of the Wright Brothers, and, depending on the source, he preceded them in flight. In any case, the French celebrity went to Louis Cartier, another pioneer of his craft, and procured a square timekeeper meant for the wrist. The Cartier Santos Dumont was born. Over a century later, Cartier attended Watches and Wonders and presented the newest in the line of Santos watches, one that reverses time.
