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.

Sean P. Diddy Combs did the damn thing with the Sean John sketches for the President-Elects Inauguration day (January 20th) attire.  Out of all the sketches this is one of my favorite.  I think the Classic Single-Button White Dinner Jacket, White Shirt, Black Bow-tie, Pocket Square and Trousers are killer.  See all of the Inauguration Sketches on the New WWD Men’s Website.

I’ve been into The Ryan Rowe Collection since July of last year (2007) and I’m kicking myself for not posting up the collection sooner.  With great hand-made craftsmanship and 1/2 sizes up to a 14 , you cant go wrong. “Ryan Rowe presents a concept of modern luxury which is about quality, accessibility, simplicity, attention to detail, getting back to nature and being comfortable.”

Tying a Bow Tie…

I’ve been struggling with this for some time now. The constant tying and untying, sweating, arms getting tired and the unnecessary frustration. Whether we like it or not, its something we should all learn how to do at some point in our lives. Thanks to You Tube I finally figured it out. I found some really simple and detailed videos that made it quick and sweat less for me. Hope this helps…

Ando

Price: $265

Since I started toting around this beauty, both Men and Women have been stopping me to ask: Who makes your bag? How much did it cost? And, Where did you purchase it? So… I decided to post and share it with the online community that I am so happy to be a part of. It was purchased the at Vinnie’s Styles on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, NY.  You can also purchase this beauty on the Matt & Nat Website.  The Ando bag is Eco-friendly, made with what I believe is recycled wool and “Coffee Chinese Paper.” It’s also extremely light, durable and easy on the skin (that last part was a joke, laugh).  You can tote it or carry it as a messenger.  I don’t mind if you get one because I’m on to a new Matt & Nat bag.  Check the Ando description below.
