CT Scuderia founder and designer Enrico Margaritelli is a third-generation Italian watchmaker and life-long motorcycle lover, rider, and racer who grew up surrounded by some of the greatest watches in the world. If you haven’t heard of Margaritelli, you may have seen — or even own ed—some of his designs for Fossil and Shinola during their rise as premium timepiece producers.

With his own brand, CT Scuderia, Margaritelli meshes his keen sense of detail he built over the years with his childhood roots in Italy and the open road —and we’re here to share his creations.

The first timepiece on our list comes from the Street Racer collection, and it is a beauty. Sporting a rose gold stainless steel frame and perforated black silicon strap, this watch is an absolute head-turner. As with all of CT Scuderia’s watches, detail matters. The dial on this puppy boasts a black honeycomb pattern on the sides and a central carbon fiber piece.

This watch is a perfect companion on the race track with its black IP stainless steel body and natural, genuine leather strap. The CS30103 is part of the Testa-Piatta line, which is inspired by the “bobber” motorcycle, a style devoid of all parts that do not contribute to speed.

One of the smoothest silhouettes from CT Scuderia is featured in the Corsa collection, which is derived from the original “Master Time” model of dash-mounted watches. The white dial shines on a black stainless steel frame and perforated strap, allowing for the big, bold markers to stand out no matter how fast your day is going.

Another Corsa creation, this navy blue dial and shining stainless steel frame is one of loudest watches on our roundup — and by loud, we mean the timepiece is noticeable from a quarter-mile away. Sporting a genuine brown leather strap, the CS20124 is a versatile option for everyday use, classy functions, or speedy moments on the road.

The Coda Corta collection is driven by four components: classic, short, slim, and fast. This timepiece flourishes with a smaller casing, vintage leather strap, black IP stainless steel body, and classic buckle. The watch is truly a work of art.

Now for favorite of the bunch. The Scrambler collection showcases a square face that is truly unique in the timepiece market. The watch radiates an off-road feel by blending a black IP stainless steel frame with robust white markers and an extra-long, genuine leather strap.

If you’re a true motor head, CT Scuderia also offers other road-inspired accessories, such as helmets and leather goods.

Sunday Swagger adds some personality to your holidays
Add color and patterns to your Christmas polo
Sunday Swagger Jingle Juice

We talk a lot about style here. It is what we do. We want you to look your best so you can feel your best. We want you to wake up every morning excited about getting dressed and tackling all the world has to throw at you. We also want you to have fun. Life isn't worth living if you can't have fun with who you are and what you wear. Sometimes, our conversations about style can start to feel a little stuffy. We can focus too much on timeless classics that never go out of style. We can focus on those colors that are trending every single season. Sometimes, we forget to remind you to have fun and display your personality. The Sunday Swagger Holiday Collection reminded us this year to loosen up and approach this holiday season with something a little more unique. Something that we can embrace that isn't based on fashion or style. Us.
Ditch the boring and embrace the daring

Sunday Swagger's Holiday Collection is more of what we have come to expect from Mark Carmona. Since he founded his brand in 2019, he has provided men with clothing that combines style, comfort, and durability while allowing them to showcase their personalities. The brand excels at developing unique patterns in bright colors that break the mold of the typical everyday golf polo. This year, they did it again for the holiday season to allow you to be the talk of the party. Who knows, if you wear the Jingle Juice polo, it may remind people to keep your cup filled. You're welcome.

Stellar Equipment redefines the mid-layer for the ski season
Wear this for the perfect mid-layer or on its own
Stellar Equipment hooded jacket on man

Some people think that when the seasons change and the days get shorter, that adventure will need to wait until the spring. Then others don't allow the change of the weather, the falling of the snow, or the shorter hours to stop them from adventure. Still, there are some who thrive in the latter environment -- at home in the cold and dark winters on the mountain. Whichever camp you fall into, there is a need for you to grab the best possible gear for the moment. That is where the Stellar Equipment Free Padded Concept capsule collection comes into play. While they are no secret to preparing you for the mountain excursion, they may have just revolutionized the industry and changed the mid-layer forever.
Good for a mid-layer or a standalone

The Swedish brand Stellar Equipment is one of the top places to go when it comes to wanting to get into the woods or on the mountain. Whether you are free riding or ski-touring through uncharted paths of snow, you will need to protect yourself, and they are a top-of-the-line technical layering system that does the job. You may be familiar with their alpine best-seller, the Steller Shell System. But this new concept takes Japanese craftsmanship and weaves an insulation layer into its stitching, making this the perfect layering option to keep you on the trail. The best part about it isn't that it is good for the new mid-layer but also perfect for your Apres Ski celebrations or your run into town for coffee.

Twenty year skiing legend creates alpine gear fit for special forces
OR and skiing legend come together for the perfect alpine set
Outdoor Research athlete Mark Abma

Outdoor Research has been a trusted source for alpine gear since it burst on the stage in the early eighties. When Ron Gregg, a nuclear physicist, grew frustrated with the lack of dependable gear for the harsh environments, he dedicated his life to improving the industry for others. If anyone can figure out how, it is a nuclear physicist, right? Over four decades later and we are looking at one of the most technologically advanced alpine sets to hit the market. The Outdoor Research x Mark Abma set is not only perfect for any skier, climber, or outdoor enthusiast but it is also developed with United States Special Forces in mind, even giving them their own exclusive colorway.
