This camera is as much a work of art as it is a modern camera. This is Hasselblad’s first foray into the consumer market. It’s said that Hasselblad engineers have taken their inspiration from supercars, luxurious watches and F1 technology to create Lunar, calling it “a hybrid of Italian design and Swedish pedigree.” The materials
This weeks property is for the more romantic of you. This 18th-century mansion near Peterborough is the former home of the fourth Baron Airedale and one time deputy speaker of the House of Lords.

This summer sees the return of many past trends as it does new ones. One key item which seems to be creeping its way on to the essential items list is the long sleeve polo. This is a classic piece it has often been shunned by its short sleeve counterpart, however it is the long
Nicholas Wainwright is chairman of the leading British Jewellery brand Boodles and is the fifth generation of Wainwrights to run the company. Nicholas joined Boodles in 1968, and is responsible for the company’s creative direction and has overseen the brand’s transformation from principal country jeweller to sparkling market leader with nine shops over the last
London is full of great places to eat, but for those of you gentlemen who’ve indulged in a Brick Lane salt beef sandwich late on a Friday night, you’ll know that it’s not something to be missed. Here’s the great thing: you can make it too, and it’s not as difficult as you might think.
We always say at The Gentleman’s Journal that true style is always understated style. It’s those little discreet touches that make the big difference. One fine example of this is the Chopard L.U.C XPS watch in 18-carat rose gold. This ultra-thin timepiece is simple, yet elegant and timeless in its design. With an all white
Bugatti are known worldwide for producing the fastest road-legal production car in the world, and now to add to this they have the fastest road-legal convertible in the world also, in the form of the Veyron 16.4 World Record Grand Sport Vitesse.

Cole Simmons discovers why after 50 years CLub 55 is better than ever – Le Club 55, strategically nestled along the Pampelonne, is paradise to the tenth power. With its overgrown bamboo and provincial beach bungalow and wooden pier stretching along the warm Mediterranean its easy to see why the simplicity and charm bring even
Want to look effortlessly stylish this summer but don’t have the will power to face the shop floor? No need to because The Chapar, a nifty online personal styling service, has redefined the way men shop for clothing and launched a new personal shopping for you. All you need to do is talk to a stylist, await a trunk full of the latest luxury items tailored to your needs, try them on in the comfort of your own home and return the items you aren’t so taken by.

Following his stella performance in Les Misérables, it looks like 2013 will continue to be a great year for Hugh Jackman as he returns to the big screen, in superhero mode, in the latest blockbuster movie, The Wolverine. To top this off, Jackman will also be appearing in Prisoners, playing what could potentially be his
The fresh English rain scented the air, as the evocative sounds of former Esquire cover man and BBC One’s Luther Idris Elba’s music selections were heard as guests filled Somerset House in London last night at the 2013 Esquire and Stella Artois party to celebrate the launch of the Esquire Your Life supplement, available free
Holiday style isn’t only about what is in your suitcase but just as much about the suitcase itself. If you haven’t already made the move, it’s time to purchase a classic suitcase that will outlive your holidays. Globe – Trotter’s special edition carry-on has covered off every detail you expect a modern heritage brand that dates back to 1897 would have; leather trim, brass rivets and latchets and double handle. Did we mention they are handmade? This is ageless bravura at its best.
With Summer around the corner it’s time to invest in some new footwear. The brown suede loafer is the perfect versatile shoe to get you through the warmer (fingers crossed) months. They can be worn classically with a cream linen suit, chinos and even shorts. We picked our 5 favourite designs this season.
Breitling opens its first flagship boutique in the heart of London’s Mayfair on Bond Street – London’s luxury destination. The location was chosen largely for its appeal to both domestic and international consumers who possess an affinity for luxury brands. Covering over 2,700ft and set across two floors, there will also be a watchmaker in store on a permanent basis to keep manufacturing ticking. The workshop will be visible to the customers in order to chime up the brand’s hand-crafted heritage and there will be a selection of limited edition pieces on display which can only be found in Breitling boutiques.
The count down begins. London collection: men returns and is set to be bigger and better than ever before, with over 60 designers taking part. Burberry, Jimmy Choo and Pringle of Scotland will be taking part for the first time, whilst highlights include a dinner hosted by Jonathan Newhouse, Tommy Hilfiger and Tom Ford also putting on an event. Yet again the spot light will be on London and we can’t wait.
It has been a year of announcements for the iconic British brand, and who can blame them, we would be shouting about it too if we reached 100 years old. Aston continued to celebrate their centenary year with the launch of the Aston Martin CC100 concept car at the Nürburgring. This not so subtle racing
We all have big ideas, but an idea is one thing and turning that into a business is another. Most of the time becoming an entrepreneur will mean sacrificing the security of a yearly salary, and be under no illusion. this is one of the scariest things any person can do in their lifetime. However
