In case you missed it: Peroni Style at Pitti Uomo
In case you missed it, which is probably highly unlikely, Pitti Uomo was held last month in the absolutely gorgeous town of Firenze, Italy.

That said, it’s eventually morphed into a bit of a playground for the bolder played …
IWC x Mercedes AMG Formula 1
Fine watches and stupidly fast cars have always enjoyed a strong relationship, whether it be on or off the track.

On the track however, we tend to see the most …

Edox x Extreme Sailing Series 2015
Watches and sailboats; seems like the perfect match doesn’t it? Expensive, high-end timepieces are often associated with luxury and wealth, much like owning a yacht. You’ll often see movie stars and shipping magnates on beautiful 100-foot yachts in white linen shirts, wearing the latest gold and/or diamond studded timepiece. Last weekend’s experience in Sydney could not have been more different, …
