To celebrate its 60th anniversary, Accutron partnered with Hudson Whiskey on a new limited-edition timepiece, which was released this month.

Featuring a casing resembling distillery barrels, this Accutron timepiece embodies a partnership between a whiskey brand and a premium watch brand. It is largely influenced by multiple traits of the Hudson whiskey.

Since Accutron drew inspiration from Hudson, the 2024 limited edition of the Spaceview Evolution has an elegant dial with perlage accents. These accents are complemented by green and gold hues—colors that Hudson whiskey identifies with. The dial also has nested circles for a more sophisticated and modern look.

As two brands founded in New York, Accutron and Hudson Whiskey effectively bring out the New York spirit through creativity and resiliency.

When it comes to performance, Accutron preserves the functionalities that are found in other Spaceview Evolution models, such as the electrostatic energy movement functionality. However, the energy movement has been slightly shifted by 30 degrees on the 2024 Spaceview Hudson Whiskey model.

While the collaboration is centered around Accutron’s new milestone, Hudson Whiskey also capitalized on this opportunity by pushing new products into the market.

It unveiled new 750ml whiskey bottles, with a re-designed label to mark Accutron’s 60th anniversary. Every bottle has a special message that reads, “ACCUTRON 60th Anniversary.”

In return, Accutron recorded a podcast with a representative from Hudson Whiskey, Ralph Erenzo, as an act of good faith. The episode focuses on everything that solidified the partnership between the two brands, from Accutron’s evolution and Hudson’s growth to the spirit that built a common ground for partnership.

With only 144 timepieces in the market, the 2024 Accutron Spaceview Hudson Whiskey watch goes for $3,850.

Wrangler adds two more fits to its selvedge capsule

Wrangler selvedge now available in original and slim

Wrangler Cone White Selvedge shirt and jeans

One of the common phrases you may hear in the fashion world is selvedge denim. While that may not mean a lot to you when you first start hearing the term, it is hugely popular with those denim heads who love a good pair of jeans. It essentially means that there are no unfinished edges on the jeans that can fray. All seams, even on the inside, are finished. If you notice a good pair of selvedge jeans, they are almost always worn turned up at the ankle so you can see the finished seams. They are of higher quality and harder to produce, so, therefore, they are definitely something to show off. Last month, Wrangler dropped a new selvedge line with a denim jacket and jean made from the remainder of the denim loomed at the Cone Mills White Oak plant. They have now added two new fits to the Wrangler Selvedge line.
Now in an original and slim fit

The original fit, known in Wrangler speak as the Cowboy Cuts, is a mid-rise design with a regular fit through the thigh and a slim through-the-leg opening. The slim-fit straights are lower on the waist, with a slim fit through the thigh and a straight leg that’ll still fit over your favorite pair of boots. They both feature all the heritage details, including our signature five-pocket styling, ‘W’ embroidery on the pocket, and the dark indigo color perfect for your favorite Western look. Here is some advice from us: Get a pair about an inch longer than your usual jeans to roll them up and show off the selvedge seam.

Puma's newest sustainable sneaker

Recent Puma collaborations have highlighted the creativity of some of their retro design, but their latest partnership is far from anything you have seen from the sneaker brand yet. Together with DIY specialist Nicole McLaughlin, Puma is releasing a vibrant new sneaker that celebrates sustainability and the art of upcycling. As part of their “Sweep the Factory Floor” campaign, Puma utilizes suede patchwork to create a new design where no two pairs are alike. Not only does this new shoe represent a step towards sustainability but it’s a funky and fun option for those who enjoy adding a little color to their looks. Besides the colorful hues, this Puma shoe incorporates some of your favorite aspects of Puma sneakers, making it a win all around.
Puma suede “Sweep the Factory Floor” sneaker

Using the 1960s Puma sneaker as a base of the design, McLaughlin created this unique sneaker using randomized suede swatches to create a patchwork pattern. On the top of the shoe, a buttoned pouch covers the laces, giving the sneaker an all-around patchwork detail. McLaughlin’s name and logo are found inside the shoe and at the heel to indicate the one-of-a-kind collaboration. The sneaker utilizes scrap materials found in the factory, as pointed out by Ferdinand Krug, Puma’s partnership manager of global collaborations. Although an official date and price point were not announced, it is highly assumed this collaboration will be released to the public sooner rather than later. While we wait for the official launch, there's no doubt that this new sustainable Puma sneaker is a rare design that goes beyond the shoe.
