Gentlemanly acts can materialise from all creatures of all shapes and sizes. The latest gentleman is this cat who turned global superstar after he saved a young boy from a vicious dog.

An exciting new release out of the Christopher Ward camp. In celebration of their 10th anniversary, the watch brand has gone ‘back to the future’ in creating a beautiful new watch, the C5 Malvern Slimline, inspired by the iconic first ever Christopher Ward watch, the C5 Malvern Automatic.
As far as catastrophically huge, all-encompassing mansions go, Englefield Green in Egham is pretty darn impressive. It’s so big that it practically has its own gravitational force, with its many number of surrounding buildings circling it like moons would a large planet.
Holidaymakers coming to Saint Tropez are spoiled for choice vis-à-vis the selection of accommodation, with St Tropez House offering a large range of luxury villas from villas a stone’s throw from Club 55 to more discrete properties near Escalet beach, for example.
Next month, the car once owned by legendary Rolling Stones rocker Keith Richards, will be going up for sale in auction. The car in question is a 1972 Ferrari Dino 246GT. First debuted at the Turin Motor Show in November 1969 and featured a transverse engine 2.4 litre V6 which had a top speed of 146mph and did 0-1000m in 26.8 seconds.
Here at The Gentleman’s Journal, have always been a fan of Leica. A German brand that embodies true style, care, craftsmanship and a confluence of design and engineering; you know that if you have a Leica camera you are in good hands when it comes to delivering top quality and enjoyable photography. This is why we were very excited to be invited to the launch of the new Leica T.
Airlines are forever coming up with ways to make our travelling experience the best it can be, a gentleman should never have to squeeze his way into a narrow, uncomfortable seat after all. Etihad Airways, however, have taken this quest for the ultimate luxury to a whole other level. Sunday saw the reveal of ‘The Residence of Etihad’, a VIP 125 sq feet multi-room suite aboard the Airbus A380 jets.
Gotham is back but not as you know it. This time, the infamous city will be featured in an upcoming eponymous series set to air on Fox in the Autumn. The series acts as a prequel to the Batman films and focuses on the young Police Commissioner James Gordon (Ben McKenzie) as he attempts to solve the murder of a young Bruce Wayne’s parents Thomas and Martha Wayne.
As always we like to round up the week’s videos that have gone completely viral on the internet. It’s very difficult to predict what will trend and what won’t and sometimes the videos can be too random for anyone to explain. This week we have an unbelievable goal from Cristiano Ronaldo to equalise against Valencia, a lip synch from Emma Stone, a hilarious news clip and the guys who brought us ‘How Animals Eat Their Food’ (a video which has amassed 100 million views) are back with another instalment.
Nobody has the time to slow down these days; we’re all in a rush to get things done. I bet you’re skim-reading this on your way to a meeting as well. We rush our way through lunch, we make a dash when making love (tsk tsk!) and we speed through our workout sessions at the gym,
Originally founded in 1798 by John Sinclair, under the name Ledaig, Tobermory is the only distillery on the majestic Isle of Mull and is one of the oldest commercial distillery’s in Scotland.
E-book publishers have recently faced a jot of (justifiable) criticism for their rather exorbitant prices. After all, if an e-book saves the publisher money on ink, paper, design, manufacture and delivery, then the price should be reflected as much – unfortunately this is not always the case. However, there are still hundreds of titles that bookworms can find for free on e-book stores, here are some of the best free books for the Kindle.
What’s it like being a billionaire? What makes them tick? How did they achieve such great prosperity? Here are ten common traits that most billionaires have – follow these behaviors and maybe you too will achieve great wealth.
Those who think that rosé wine is made by a serendipitous blending of red and white wines are probably those who equate the category with mediocrity and a certain confected style which is devoid of character and complexity. This perception is gradually changing as it comes to be realised that rosé is made by bleeding juice off the skins of red grapes and thereby acquires a personality all of its own, an identity which can show off the merits of varietal or provenance, and should be as distinctive as it is delicious. In essence a good rosé will marry juicy fruit with a subtle but firm structure which ensures versatility. The burgeoning sales of the category bear testament to this resurrection, a phenomenon which shows no signs of abating. Here, Berry Bros. & Rudd recommend their best Summer Rosé wines.
Wherever he is going and for whatever reason, a gentleman must always travel in style. This extend from his clothes and luggage all the way through to his travelling etiquette. Whether you are going for a quick city break or a beach retreat, make sure you get from A to B in ultimate style with our gentleman’s guide to travel.
When it comes to the summer months, if the weather holds, sometimes all you want to do is to escape the country. Here are our top country retreats with all the space, grandeur, luxury and Englishness that you could ask for.
Sometimes, it is just not possible to hold it in. Earlier this week, all niceties went out the window when Scottish brewer BrewDog wrote a hilariously sarcastic and scathing press release. It was in response to the Portman Group who had rejected the company’s Dead Pony Club Ale stating that it the packaging encouraged antisocial behaviour and binge drinking. It was this that caused BrewDog to sidestep the normal polite formalities and released this on their blog instead. Titled #sorrynotsorry, this press release has gone completely viral and, once you read it, it is not hard to see why. Enjoy.
We all know that there are certain sports that turn over a hell of a lot of cash. In the US, it’s the National Football League and National Basketball Association whereas in Europe it is all about football (or soccer). Everyone has an opinion on whether these guys should be earning the big bucks but, whatever your thoughts on the subject, there is no denying that they do. Here are the Top 20 highest paid athletes in the world according the ESPN.
