go70chron5aIconic watches are often targets.  The best of the best, of anything, will forever be replicated.  The original anything is always up on that pedestal, but what happens when the imitation ends up  be just as desired?  That might be the case with another offering out of Glashutte, Germany.  With its design not that far off of the iconic Genta designed Patek Philippe Nautilus, Glashutte Original gets elegantly sporty with its latest; the Senator Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date.

go70chron1aSet in stainless steel, this T.V. screen cushion shaped case houses the newly designed Glashutte caliber 37-02.  One of my favorite chronograph movements on the market right now, this movement leaves nothing to be desired.  Fully in-house, this chronograph boasts a central stop seconds hand, 30 minute and 12 hour counters, a small seconds with power reserve indicator (70 hour power reserve), flyback function, and not to leave out the two wheel fifteen jewel big date complication that Glashutte is known for.

By offering this wide variety of combinations, Glashutte has made a piece that in some arenas will fit every watch buyers go70chron8needs. Whether it be sport and elegance with the grey dial on a bracelet, or a dress non-round chronograph with the silver dial and black crocodile strap, this piece has the variants necessary for all.

Some say to copy is the grandest form of flattery.  I say, you might resemble another, but if you own it, it is truly yours.  Glashutte has certainly owned it with the Senator Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date.  See more of the timepiece here.

Ariat wants to make you look like Rip with “Yellowstone” collection
Western Icon Teams with Western Television Phenomenon
Ariat x Yellowstone Man and Woman in Field

John Dutton (Kevin Costner) and his team of people on the Dutton Ranch changed the world when they hit the screens. Not only were people fascinated by characters like Rip (Cole Hauser), Beth (Kelly Reilly), Kayce (Luke Grimes), and Jamie (Wes Bentley), but they may have been even more smitten with the wardrobe. Not many TV series can boast that they launched a full-blown fashion trend, but Yellowstone has done just that. Now, Western icon brand Ariat has teamed up with the series to develop a collection that will make you look like you belong on the back of a horse and, hopefully, not at the train station.

“Because Ariat is engrained in the Western communities that Yellowstone is based on, our clothing and boots have organically shown up on the show throughout the years," says Megan Iwersen, Ariat’s Chief Product Officer. "Now, with the Ariat x Yellowstone collaboration, Ariat is even more visible in the Yellowstone universe and is more accessible to those fans captivated by the American West. Johnetta helped us develop Western looks that both honor our heritage and deliver a modern aesthetic for anyone wanting to incorporate a bit of Western flair into their wardrobe.”
Not just inspired by "Yellowstone"

Suit jackets hanging up next to each other

Suits are some of a man's oldest surviving wardrobe pieces. They have been the bread and butter of masculine elegance in one way or another for centuries, with the modern iteration filling our closets for the last 100 years. Since men started wearing evening ties under single and double-breasted jackets and defining the decades of the previous century, we have had to find ways to keep them up to par between wears.

Nowadays, things are different. How often do we need to take your suit in for a cleaning? Can we do it at home? How do we care of them in between? For tips on cleaning a suit, we’ve reached out to Gary Flynn, CEO at M. Dumas & Sons in Charleston, South Carolina, and Joe Mueller at Wildwood & Company in Portland, Oregon.

The new Roger Dubuis watch: A timepiece that draws inspiration from knights
An artistic watch with knights on the dial
Roger Dubuis watch

While some watches are popular for their movements, the Roger Dubuis watch has made ripples in the industry with its stylish dial. Instead of featuring hour markers on the watch, this new timepiece from Roger Dubuis has small miniatures which are considered to be more artistic than hour markers.

The good thing about this watch is this—each miniature version differs from the next. One look at the dial is enough to give you some insight into the effort that’s been put into the watch. Apparently, every knight has a unique element, so the brand spent a lot of time on minor details.
