After unveiling the C1 Bel Canto collection, Christopher Ward watches spread like wildfire in 2022. Thanks to their sophisticated design and allure, such timepieces generated a lot of hype.

Well, the brand has just added new watches to the collection, which come with a sonnerie au passage and a laser-ingrained pattern. This unique touch makes the watch even more appealing.

The watch produces a unique sound after every hour to notify you.

Featuring a 41 mm casing, this new timepiece by Christopher Ward is the true embodiment of a high-quality watch due to its unique metallic luster. The high-quality materials and looks are complemented by a guillochè pattern that brings out that modern, French-like allure.

Built to offer various styling options, the new C1 Bel Canto piece has a green, blue, silver, and gold dial — so you can choose the color you love best.

And thanks to the guillochè pattern, light bounces off the dial in a stylish manner, accentuating different shades featured on the dial. It is also fitted with Roman numerals to create a balance between modern and retro aesthetics.

While the finish gives this timepiece a sophisticated look, the open-work mechanism is the cherry on top of the cake. Everything, from the open-work bridges to the wheels, is showcased in an artistic manner to pay tribute to the brilliant engineering.

According to the brand, this new mechanical chiming watch will be delivered to enthusiasts after two months.

The strap option goes for $4,225, while the bracelet version is priced at $4,540.

Your underwear is probably gross now: Embrace the refresh
How long should you wear your underwear? An expert gives us insight.
Clothing, Undershirt, Adult

I am on an underwear kick right now. I can't help it. I have been reevaluating my underwear drawer since I had my conversation with David Ehrenberg, the CEO of Pair of Thieves, earlier this week. I mean, how often do men think about their underwear? The truth is, while we don't think about it often (hopefully you are a little bit after reading my last article with David), I have discovered we actually DO think about it in some ways. We just need to change how we think about it. Ladies, go ahead, ask your guy what underwear he is wearing right now. There will be two answers. 1 - "No clue, what did you buy me?" 2 - "My favorites." We're weird about it. We all have at least one pair we wear all the time. It is our favorite pair. Then we have the others, the ones that are just the day-to-day. And finally, we have the ones we never want to wear, but it's a laundry emergency, so we must. In all likelihood, this pair has been with us since Mom bought them for us. That's right, yeeeeeeeears ago.

Fellas, it's gross. I often think about a movie quote from Smokin' Aces, by the always-great Jeremy Piven. "There is not a laundry detergent or dry cleaning product known to man that will get that out. Suffice it to say, some sh*t, don't wash out." There is a moment in time when your underwear is done for, beyond saving. But, when do you know when to give up on old faithful? David and I hashed it out.

Clothing, Formal Wear, Suit

Tucked back off a small street, Rue de Monceau, in Paris, just a short 8-minute walk from Parc Monceau to the Northeast of the Eiffel Tower, sits a museum many Americans miss on their trips to the City of Love. Musée Nissim de Camondo is home to a wide collection of French art from the 1700s. It is draped in tapestries and adorned with artifacts displaying the beauty of French artistic creativity. This week, it also happened to be home to Dior's Summer Men's Show. These destination shows by the iconic French fashion house, have been home to some of the most pivotal moments in fashion progression. From the "New Look" event a year after the company was formed in 1947, to the "Russian Catwalk" in Moscow in 1959, to this season. What did the attendees of this event experience (other than sweltering heat)? Unexpected changes to classic lines and fabrics that ask the wearer to look to the future.
