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.”
- AJ of Style Nerds

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

There’s only 2 more weeks left for the pre-holiday shopping season and if you haven’t gotten anything for the woman of the house then you need to get on your job very quickly.  If there’s anything else I know besides fashion, it’s Women (trust me on this one, I know Women!).  When it comes to getting your lady a gift there are two important tips to remember:

1. Think about what you think she may want; not what you want her to have.  Sure she likes lingerie, but she can buy that for herself as a gift to you.

and

2. Quantity before Quality. Didn’t get this one?  Women love a diamond necklace and or earrings, but adore being showered with gifts.  Get her a bag full of the simple things she likes along with that big gift you know she wanted.

Check out the items below, this might get the shopping-for-her blood flowing.

I saw an advertisement for this and thought I would go a off the topic of fashion and express myself a little. In my opinion; Sean P. Diddy Combs is the man! I look up to this guy. He pimps the system, lives hard,  dresses exquisitely constantly challenges himself, he’s the life of any party and loves every minute of everything he does. The man is a walking Robb Report.

Ok, I’m done.

With all that being said; Diddy’s new ad campaign for his new Men’s and Women’s fragrances “I Am King/Queen” has been said to have a his small focus on the President Elect for his marketing strategies. Diddy told The Wall Street Journal “When you see Barack Obama, you see a strong, elegant black man and when people see my ad, it’s almost like that’s the trend.“  the name is mainly inspired by the fact that every man is royal in his own way, respecting oneself and carrying oneself in a respectable manner makes any man king. The fragrance will be a Macy’s exclusive, expected to be a December 2008 release.

Note: Barack Obama will not be officially sponsoring the cologne in any way.

“Do it like Diddy do”.
