Customize to Your Heart’s Desire with Shore Projects

A proper watch works wonders for anyone’s personal style. Be it a classy leather-strapped watch perfect for the office or a silicone banded timepiece that literally screams summertime, there are thousands of varieties which fit thousands of lifestyles. While some brands excel at providing high-quality versions of one or the other of these examples, no brand comprehensively tackles all feasible style options as well as the London-based Shore Projects. From its unique (and extensive) strap collection, its wide array of available watch faces, or the fact it allows users to mix and match to their desire, Shore Projects is a bonafide hit.

Inspired by the British seaside, Shore Projects isn’t merely a purveyor of luxury timepieces or a seller of casual watches, but rather, it’s a company that offers a timeless collection of watches literally anyone would fancy wearing. As mentioned above, customers have access to not just the stock watch options presented via the company’s website, but are given the opportunity to build a dream watch to their exact specifications. Perhaps you like the white face and gold trim of the Portland watch, but prefer a mesh or silicone strap instead of the standard one pictured. Fret not, the customization afforded by Shore Projects is unparalleled.

Though this model has existed for Shore Projects since its inception, the fact the company continues to add to its remarkable collection is as impressive as anything it does. By understanding what its customers desire — and more plainly, exactly what they want in a watch — the company consistently upgrades its offered selection to cater to even the most eclectic of consumers.

In addition to its quilted polyester strap and silicone, leather, mesh, and polka dot alternatives, Shore Projects has now added a dapper wool strap to its lineup, allowing for even further customization. Before long, the company also plans on adding what it calls a dual strap — a combination of nylon and leather that gives the watch a rather adventurous look.

So whether you work in a corner office or consider yourself a professional beach bum (or both), Shore Projects is your ticket to timeless style. Featuring a product model that embraces customization and a near endless amount of swappable options, Shore Projects is the kind of watch brand you won’t help but keep returning to time and time again.

Nomos adds color to Metro line for Ace Jewelers’ 50th
Two new Nomos watches with striking dial colors
Ace x Nomos Glashuette

Dating back to the early ‘90s, German watch brand Nomos Glashutte has dominated the industry with stylish timepieces. It is now collaborating with Ace Jewelers to mark a special milestone in the boutique's journey—its 50th anniversary. The latest additions, the Metro Neomatik and Metro Neomatik 39, are based on the Metro line and are cleverly designed to breathe some life into the collection. Think of it as a splash of color that makes everything look more interesting.

To make the collection more lively, the brand opted for contemporary color shades—orange and yellow. Each model features a subdial above 6 o’clock that’s highlighted by a different shade, which complements the dial. While the orange version has a yellow subdial, the yellow variant comes with an orange sundial, two warm colors that blend perfectly. The Metro line consists of three watch models with white and blue dials—the new orange dials add a touch of spice to the collection.

Sergio Tacchini taps into its tennis roots for SS25
Channeling the tennis beginnings and the polo origin
Sergio Tacchini Tennis

Athletes who make a mark on their sport almost always go on to create something off the court as well. After they leave a lasting legacy within their respective athletic venture, they look to have the same effect on culture. The most popular example is Michael Jordan and his Air Jordan shoe line. While he is the greatest basketball player of all time (no disrespect to Kobe or LeBron), his shoes have changed the world in so many ways that it's hard to quantify. But before MJ, you had Sergio Tacchini. While he was a legendary tennis star, he made a lasting impact on culture when he launched his self-titled brand. It started on the court and was worn by dozens of tennis legends from the 1970s to the 1990s, but it was also adopted by the British subculture "The Casuals" and hip-hop artists like LL Cool J and Nas. Since then, it went through some hard times before being acquired in 2019 and relaunched. The Sergio Tacchini SS25 drop heads back to its tennis roots, reminding everyone where it came from.
