INTRODUCING THE ALL-NEW GLK. STARTING AT $33,900.*

Tested like a performance sport sedan and fortified like a rugged off-road vehicle, the all-new GLK-Class is the newest addition to the award-winning family of Mercedes-Benz SUVs. Compact, sleek, fuel-efficient, and capable of completely outrunning its weightier competition, the GLK proves a luxury performance vehicle can have a wild side. We submit its powerful 268-horsepower V-6 engine and 258 lb-ft of torque as proof.

Add to that its 7-speed automatic transmission with Comfort and Sport shift program, a traction-control system that monitors wheel slip 6,000 times a minute, and AGILITY CONTROL suspension, and you’ll see why the GLK’s in a performance league all its own. The GLK350 4MATIC, available in dealerships now, offers the power and safety of 4MATIC 4-wheel drive; the 2-wheel drive GLK350 will be added mid-April 2009.

Learn more about the all-new 2010 GLK-Class. The cargo space, the premium interior features, the comfort, the engineering — there’s so much more that makes this compact luxury SUV the next great Mercedes-Benz.

The Ernst Benz by John Varvatos timepieces have officially been released.  The Limited-Edition ChronoScope will be numbered and limited to 250 watches per variation. The watch will retail for $6,800 on exotic straps and available exclusively at John Varvatos boutiques nationwide.available exclusively at John Varvatos boutiques nationwide.  A must have if your as much of a JV fan as I am.

The focus of the “Ernst Benz by John Varvatos Limited-Edition ChronoScope” is on vintage-inspired design, and the timepiece will be initially released in two dial design variations—vintage black and vintage anthracite.

“I have collected vintage watches for years because of their intricate design and architecture,” Varvatos said in a media release. “It was a natural next step to create my own special timepiece with Leonid Khankin translating my design philosophy and blending my aesthetics intricately into the watch components.”

The ChronoScope also features “contrast finishing,” as the case is crafted in brushed stainless steel and the bezel, pushers and crown are finished in polished stainless steel. Exotic skin straps, including alligator, crocodile, bison and calf in Ernst Benz’s aviator design, will be custom-made with special colors and finishes exclusive to the collection. In addition, Varvatos has designed a custom leather watchcase to house the timepiece.

“The new Tom Ford collection is a new world of menswear built on a vision of deeply personalized luxury. The collection offers the finest quality products made in Italy be artisan craftsman, in a complete world of high level Men’s ready to wear and made to measure clothing. The head to toe collection includes tailored suiting , hand crafted footwear, stitched bags, monogrammed luggage, shirts, ties, outerwear, small leather goods and accessories.

As you will see in the pictures below the muted colors are taking a back seat as the return of color is imminent. It is as usual a more complimentary fit for the slimmer guy due to the collection’s emphasis on tailoring. It is interesting to note that as well as of course designing the whole collection, Tom Ford actually did the whole photo shoot for it as well.”
