Obviously The Gentleman’s Journal team are never bored at work. Not even at 5pm on a Friday. But, we know that we’re lucky in that way and that for the rest of the working world there are of course moments throughout the day when concentration dips and boredom kicks in. Luckily, there are a million

Oh Jimmy Choo! Men around the country will know this name as the desirable footwear of choice for many a style-savvy woman around the world. Those, along with the only others they know the names of, like Manolo Blah – blah – blah and those ones with the red soles, you know Christian Loub-aloub-a-somethings. Yeah…we
For any keen bikers, storage of said equipment is always an issue. This is even more of a dilemma when you live in a city where space is severely limited. Now, we didn’t think it was possible to make a bike storage stylish, but it seems that the ‘Shelfie’ Bike Mount has done just that.
Piaget are known for their super-thin watches, but this Altiplano 38 mm 900P is on another level, even for the ‘master of the ultra thin’. It is both a movement and a case, the world’s thinnest watch. Piaget have merged the hand-wound caliber with the case elements and designed it as a single entity, all of
Nothing upset me more as a child than the fact that no one had worked out how to make Peter Pan and his fairytale life a genuine reality. Several decades later, I am still saddened by this fact. Seriously though, they’ve sent man to the moon, created Google contact lenses and yet still, still….no one
Haute-cuisine, Mayfair and top-class sommeliers might not be the first things that spring to mind when we mention American food in London. But wait! Wolfgang Puck, California’s most notable chef, has produced a masterclass in implementing the best of the US with French technique in a sophisticated London style. Et voilà! Positioned alongside Hyde Park
The hilariously witty people that fill the Twitter-sphere have made the social networking site what it is today. Without, we would be bored and aimless.

This Summer is the best time to visit Bali, and we can’t get enough of this incredible destination. This stunning hotel is really what hotel dreams are made of. It is located on the southern tip of the Bukit Peninsula, which was once the hunting grounds of the Balinese royal family. The Bulgari Resort is located
A decade ago, this feature would have been completely redundant. The phone you had didn’t define you as a person so much as the amount of money you had and how much money you could be bothered spending on the damn thing. Today in 2014, however, our mobile phones are so much more a part
Given that most politicians can barely pronounce their own names without cocking up, it’s easy to forget that politics is all about rhetoric. We’ve gone back through the last couple of millennia to find the sharpest political epithets in history. What do you think? 1. ‘Politics is not an exact science’ – Otto Von Bismarck,
When it comes to box office success, Marvel films win every time. They combine superhero appeal, CGI graphics, compelling story lines and nail-bitting action like no other franchise, and people really can’t get enough.
