Not quite sure how I got here (well, a train and an Uber) technically but semantics)…but without a doubt one of the coolest things to have as a milestone for a collecting nerd. I was invited by @wei_koh_revolution a little bit ago to become the @revolution.watch Automotive Editor for the US. Last night, surrounded by friends at the @bulgari Party on 5th ave at their flagship store celebrating @fabriziobuonamassastigliani and the 10th anniversary of the Octo Finissimo that he designed, I got to see my first column that I wrote, in print (not to mention my interview with @zlo_watches and @troybarmore following my article). To say it’s been incredible to work with the Revolution Watch team is an understatement and I’m looking forward to a lot more nerding out as well as telling fun, slightly less than typical stories about the cars and watches that have become such a fun part of my life. Looking forward to the future, a lot of fun, a lot of laughs and a lot of large eye rolls at my corny jokes and sarcasm! If you want to check out the article I wrote on my @Lamborghini Sterrato…it’s in Revolution Watch’s 73 issue currently available for sale today! #revolutionwatch #bulgari #design #watchfam #watchcollector #watchaddict #watchlover #lamborghini #carsofinstagram #nyc #livelife #writer #writersofinstagram #watchoftheday

POV: The @sinn_spezialuhren 155S Revolution II Bright Star TEGIMENT® has landed, and we’re carefully unboxing this stunning rendition of the classic Bundeswehr chronograph. Our latest collaboration with Sinn is an ultra-modern take on Bundeswehr Chronographs from the 60’s. With its striking appearance, the Bright Star is the first in the history of the model to use 904L steel, treated with Sinn’s proprietary TEGIMENT® Technology, and finished with a fully blacked-out treatment. With the incredible hardness of the steel underneath, Sinn’s Black Hard Coating has applied on every component — case, bezel, crown, pushers and caseback — resulting in excellent adhesion, creating a virtually bulletproof watch. Priced at USD 3,600 and made in a limited edition of 300 pieces, the watch is now available through the link in bio and at RevolutionWatch.com. For any enquires, please contact [email protected].

Have you seen the new @sinn_spezialuhren 155 S Revolution II Bright Star TEGIMENT®? Our ultra-modern take on Bundeswehr chronographs from the 60’s is the first in the history of the model to receive a fully blacked-out treatment, a sapphire crystal and the highest grade of steel alloy ever used in a Bundeswehr case, fully treated with Sinn’s proprietary TEGIMENT® Technology. TEGIMENT® Technology is a proprietary surface hardening treatment specifically developed by Sinn for its stainless steel watch cases and bracelets, increasing its scratch resistance five fold over regular steel. With the incredible hardness of the steel underneath, Sinn’s Black Hard Coating has applied on every component — case, bezel, crown, pushers and caseback — resulting in excellent adhesion, creating a virtually bulletproof watch. Priced at USD 3,600 and made in a limited edition of 300 pieces, it is immediately available at RevolutionWatch.com and via the link in bio. Contact [email protected] for any enquiries.

LIVE NOW: The @sinn_spezialuhren 155S Revolution II Bright Star TEGIMENT® is now available to purchase via the link in bio. Our ultra-modern take on Bundeswehr chronograph brings the classic pilot’s watch black in black and better than ever. Here’s why: ▪️It uses 904L steel, the highest grade ever used in a Bundeswehr case with much higher impact and corrosion resistance. ▪️It features a fully TEGIMENT® treated steel case, bezel, crown, pushers and caseback. Sinn’s proprietary heat treatment elevates the surface hardness of stainless steel fivefold. ▪️Every part of this watch receives Sinn’s Black Hard Coating. Because of the incredible hardness of the steel underneath, this coating has excellent adhesion, creating a virtually bulletproof watch. ▪️It uses an all-new case construction with a screw-down caseback for greater robustness. The previous model featured a sliding case, retained by four screws on the caseback. This meant that all-new tooling was created just for this watch. ▪️The crystal is now sapphire instead of acrylic. The sapphire crystal is exactly the same shape and radius as the vintage plastic crystal. ▪️The watch uses the first “Captive Safety Bezel” in a Bundeswehr. Previous models had aluminum bezels that could be popped off with a knife. This watch features a steel bezel that is fixed in place with three screws integrated into the case. ▪️It is the first modern Sinn Bundeswehr to feature the correct sword-shaped hands from the original watch. The Bright Star is priced at USD 3,600 and made in a limited edition of 300 pieces. Contact [email protected] for any enquiries.

OK as an interlude from all the watch content the recent look I’ve seen coming down the runway of deconstructed oversized suits reminds me of how everlasting the vision of Giorgio Armani is. And how nobody perpetuated this style better. This is from a story I wrote on him in The Rake Magazine… Even before the film American Gigolo had projected a single frame onto a single cinema screen, the world had already become seduced by the revolutionary vision of designer Giorgio Armani. Through engineering the ineffable arousal, the visceral tension, between masculinity and sensuality encoded into the movie’s poster and various publicity stills starring then-newcomer Richard Gere, Armani had already penetrated the consumer consciousness with a power that was nothing less than all-consuming: one that would define the way men dressed for the next four decades. He simultaneously revolutionised the methodology of image dissemination, transforming the silver screen and its denizens into his catwalk and his models. The poster projected the image of the modern-day dandy, a man who stood in sharp contrast to the prevailing deracination of formality from street wear in 1975. Gere wore, of all things, a tie and sport coat. But it was the way he wore them: with rakish dégagé, combined with the sensual élan of the clothes themselves that unleashed a renewed relevance and an all-new sexuality for formal clothes and classic style. In the poster, Gere strides like a predatory cat, demonstrating the fluid equanimity of his Armani clothing. He is defined in motion by their deconstructed softness, transubstantiated in the commingling of flesh and fabric into a work of Italian modernism as groundbreaking as futurist Umberto Boccioni’s Unique Forms of Continuity in Space. #mensfashion #menswear # menstyle #armani
