25 years after the SBGW003 (Grand Seiko's first manually wound 9S mechanical watch) this tribute revisits its distinctive Arabic numerals, set against a deep navy dial inspired by Japan's indigo-dyeing tradition. The crocodile strap is hand-dyed using the same hon-ai natural indigo technique, a meticulous process reserved for skilled craftsmen, while Zaratsu-polished lugs and boldly raised indexes add a pleasing sense of depth. Limited to just 600 pieces and available next month, it's a suitably suave addition to the wristwear rotation.

With just 180 bottles making it to the United Kingdom, this 15-year-old marks one of the rarest Elijah Craig releases ever to hit our shores. Aged in new charred oak barrels, it opens with dark fruit, figs, and rose petals before roasted nuts, toasted oak, and caramelised sugar take over, finishing long and warm with crème brûlée, ginger, and clove. Available whilst stocks last, it's a coveted dram that's worth moving swiftly on.

Just as we transition into boot season, Crockett & Jones’s Vail strikes the balance between form and function. Drawing on the classic American work boot silhouette (the brand’s Autumn/Winter campaign, The Great Outdoors, was fittingly shot in Yosemite National Park) this apron Derby is crafted from Reverse Butt Suede, tanned for a soft handle and rich depth of colour that wears well in the outdoors. Built on the new Last 394, it’s finished with a padded grain-leather collar and two speed hooks, making for a versatile all-rounder.

Legend has it that a half-eagle, half-lion Griffin once guarded Campbeltown's harbour and whisky, and Glen Scotia's penultimate Icons release pays tribute. Taking inspiration from the town's 14th-century market cross, this 12-year-old unpeated single malt finishes in Vin Santo casks, layering honeyed sweetness, dried apricot, and sultana over toasted almond and warming cinnamon, with the distillery's signature coastal salt anchoring things throughout. Bottled at batch strength, a punchy 53.8 per cent ABV, it's a striking top-shelf inhabitant.

A key player in the brand’s recent A Sense of Place campaign, shot at the stunning 17th-century Villa Il Nonaro near Varese, Italy, these Cashmere Denim Jeans from Luca Faloni capture the ethos of comfortable style and luxury pieces that are crafted to be lived in, rather than worn fleetingly then returned to the hanger. Available in light blue, dark blue and stone grey, these tapered fit jeans blend soft cashmere with Italian denim and elastane for pre-washed fit that’s ideal for everyday wear.

Present day September and October often pose a sartorial dilemma. An initial second layer is occasionally required, but its heft and capabilities need to be thoughtfully considered. Thankfully, SPOKE's latest Forza collection is on hand, and its Stormbreaker jacket, crafted from blended Italian wool for a resilient and crease-resistant finish, fits the bill exquisitely. An undeniably luxe take on the classic windbreaker, this showerproof piece has been designed to stave off the autumnal chill and infrequent showers, whilst maintaining a clean, sharp silhouette throughout the day.

Brussels artist Jules Wittock has drawn labyrinths freehand since childhood, and Ressence's latest collaboration puts two of his miniaturised mazes onto a dial, each with a single entrance, a single exit, and a hidden path that spells a word. Part of the two-watch release (alongside the JWB) the JWE's Emerald Green ALD-coated titanium dial shifts to purple depending on the viewing angle, with the white-filled maze aligning fully only at midnight and midday. Always a brand to push the boundaries of design, this Type 9 offers a quirky puzzle on the wrist, and one only the owner and artist can fully solve.

While it's a little premature to be donning overcoats just yet, temperatures can drop with little to no warning once autumn sets in, so it certainly can't hurt to have your upgrade in the wardrobe ready and waiting to go. Huntsman's 100 per cent wool Balmacaan is the prime candidate for this role, with a raglan sleeve cut for easy layering over blazers and casual jackets, a storm collar, and deep stroller pockets for genuine warmth. Fully canvassed by hand for lasting shape, with hand-finished buttonholes throughout, it has all the hallmarks of timeless Savile Row tailoring, and it's built to go the distance.

Though the nights may be drawing in, there's no reason to be squinting during day. In fact, a well-chosen pair of sunglasses can arguably elevate a cool-weather ensemble more than a summer one. For considered eyewear, we often turn to MOSCOT, whose muted, handcrafted black Italian acetate Liktig Suns have been paired with striking Demin Blue lenses for an eye-catching, yet understated aesthetic. Inspired by a high-school principal who worked a stone's throw from MOSCOT's Lower East Side shop, consider these specs a lesson in the art of subtle accessorising.

This is something about Roman numerals that adds a dash of refinement to a watch, and NOMOS has extended this luxury charm to the date display itself, utilising an innovative date ring and a larger-than-usual window to elevate the Ludwig Neomatik even further. Powered by the flat, in-house DUW 6101 calibre with a 42-hour reserve, the 40.5mm case sits comfortably on a Horween Genuine Shell Cordovan strap with steel-blued hands and fine typography completing this innovative yet classic piece.

East London's cult-favourite baker Lily Jones (whose client list runs from Elton John to King Charles), has teamed up with Moët & Chandon for a bespoke birthday package built around a striking Champagne-inspired cake. Fully customisable in size and flavour, this culinary delight is adorned with fruit and paired with Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial Mini bottles, gold sippers, and a champagne coupe for each guest, for a noticeable step up from the everyday Colin.

Inspired by the mid-century Indian mandarin collar, Blugiallo's Nehru swaps a classic tailored jacket's structure for something noticeably lighter and more relaxed. The four-button stand collar folds down into a rolled 2.5-button notch lapel, giving genuine styling flexibility, while 320g brushed Italian wool twill and an unconstructed shoulder keep things soft against the body. Round Neapolitan patch pockets finish the look, culminating in a versatile piece that sits comfortably with jeans or chinos in semi-formal ensembles.

A testament to timeless design, Tissot's 1978 case shape has aged remarkably well, and the PRX Chronograph proves the formula can accommodate genuinely modern functionality without losing its distinctive retro-integrated charm. Inside, the G10.212 quartz chronograph movement is paired with Super-LumiNova-coated hands and a contrasting white date window, all housed within a 316L stainless steel case rated to 100m. An interchangeable quick-release bracelet adds welcome versatility, further cementing the PRX's status as a firm fan favourite.
