What is Stitch Fix?

Stitch Fix calls itself “your online personal stylist” for good reason. Sign up and take the style quiz, and Stitch Fix selects items from its huge inventory, that it thinks you’ll like. All items are picked by a team of experts based on what they think might work best for you. Everything is considered including your personal aesthetic, your style, your budget, plus where you plan on attending. It accounts for the office, an active lifestyle, along with a look you might want on a date or night out.

Despite being considered a subscription box, there’s no subscription required. You simply get sent a Stitch Fix box when requested. It includes one full outfit from footwear to pants and shirts. From there, you can try them out and see what you like most. Best of all, you don’t have to worry about driving to a store, dealing with other customers or pesky staff, and you get to try everything on from the comfort of your own home. What more could you want?

Accutron DNA series: A modern twist on a legendary watch brand
A closer look at Accutron DNA's sleek designs and innovative features
Accutron DNA series

If you’re familiar with the Accutron watch brand, you already know about their rich history — not just in innovation, but in style. They introduced the first fully electronic watch in 1960. Throughout the 1960s, their mechanisms were used to keep time in U.S. satellites and on various NASA space missions, paving the way for the modern era of electronic and quartz timekeeping. And the brand has continued to release modern watches inspired by their rich heritage.
Design and aesthetics

Accutron continues that tradition with the Accutron DNA series, having introduced four new colors in July 2024: green, blue, orange, and red. We had the opportunity to experience the red model firsthand. Each version of the DNA line offers distinct accent combinations, adding to their individuality. While the case is stainless steel on all models, the finish and tone differ based on the chosen strap.

Vacheron Constantin Historiques 222

To celebrate its 270th anniversary and usher in the new year, Vacheron unveiled a steel variant of the Historiques 222, a watch that dates back to 1977.

The original Historiques 222, the brainchild of Jorg Hysek, was rolled out with a pioneering design. Most watches had a sports-like look in the '70s, but the Historiques 222 changed all that, bridging two worlds with a formal and casual design. It featured an integrated bracelet and a case topped by a fluted bezel and stamped with a Maltese cross at 5 o'clock. It also featured an ultra-thin Calibre 1120 and measured 3.05 mm, making it the world’s thinnest full-rotor automatic movement at the time.
