“We wanted to do something that still felt very us but in an accessible and not too serious way – refined, approachable and all-American,” Ernest Sabine, founder of Ernest Alexander, told us at the GQxGap launch event in New York City.

You can expect to find menswear with a mix of rock-and-roll meets Saville Row from NYC based Bespoken and laid back surf-inspired gear from California label Aviator Nation.  Ernest Alexander will showcase his rugged yet refined handcrafted goods, while Baldwin delivers modern denim wear from the heart of Kansas City.

Standout pieces include the Bespoken suede baseball jacket and the Aviator Nation reversible puffer vest.  Plus, you won’t want to miss out on any of the Ernest Alexander bags.

Super Seville is back: Bulova’s Michael Benavente on the new, but classic design
Bulova Men's Super Seville watch worn on wrist

The first watches appeared in 16th-century Europe, having evolved from spring-driven clocks, which were popular in the 15th century. These early designs were more portable than their predecessors, but they weren't close to the wrist-worn devices we love and use today. Since then, the average watch has gone through many iterations, including the "quartz crisis" in the 1980s when quartz watches became incredibly popular. But beautiful, timeless designs were around long before then. Bulova's first watch debuted in the 1920s to commemorate the first trans-Atlantic flight, made in 1927 by Charles Lindbergh. That original watch was called the Lone Eagle.
