Gray by Day, Bright by Night

I am a traveler at heart. Every day, I wake up and have coffee, and stare out the window at a world still full of wonders and mysteries I have yet to uncover. Since the day I joined the Army, my heart has always been on the road, in the sky, or aboard a ship. The idea that there is a part of the world I have yet to see is both exhilarating and frustrating. Chasing those undiscovered corners of the world started as a passion and an experiment and became a way of life and an addiction. I say all that to say, I find inspiration on the road. I see the world around me as a canvas for my imagination.

I am also a menswear fanatic. From selling suits to writing about them, a good suit is always in my bag with me. So when a brand I love, Hockerty being a favorite, finds inspiration in a place, I pay attention. I wrote about their summer edit a while ago, with their colors at the forefront of my attention. But I missed something. I missed that all fourteen looks they debuted were inspired by different places in Italy.

Citizen is adding a new limited-edition model to its Tsuyosa Shore line, and it’s got a great look to it if I say so myself.

The Tokyo-based watchmaker’s new drop features a deep black dial, with a gradient effect and a textured surface that catches light differently depending on the angle.

Nomos Glashütte has added two new versions of its smallest watch to the permanent collection: the Tetra 27 white and the Tetra 27 duo.

The German company has been making square watches out of Glashütte since 1992, when the Tetra launched alongside the Tangente, Ludwig, and Orion. (Fun fact: the name Glashütte is a legally protected designation of origin.)
