Approaching their 20th anniversary, Swiss brand, Parmigiani Fleurier, are relative newcomers to the watch game, but their prominence within the industry is one that cannot be ignored. Their current line-up of timepieces exudes elegance and sophistication and their formula of combining famed Swiss engineering with opulent design is clearly a winning one. A new collection has just been announced though and as it’s arguably their most diverse yet, we thought we’d take a closer look.

With so many different types of headphones on the market though, brands are constantly pushing the boundaries and reinventing their products to keep up with demand. Furthermore, now that they’re one of the most popular technological accessories, the emphasis on headphone design is huge, so here are our picks for the most stylish headphones for summer.
The sun may only just be making itself known in London this week, but already the fashion world are thinking of the next season. With the release of several autumn winter 2014 campaigns coming our way at the moment, we simply had to share this one from Ermenegildo Zegna.

18 months ago, Henry Davis came out of University with what he describes as a, “pretty horrific degree, that wasn’t really going to get me employed anywhere.” Luckily, he always wanted to set up his own footwear brand, the process was already in motion, so it was merely a matter of trying to find a manufacturer in the UK, before ‘Henry’s’ was officially launched.
The summer getaway that you’ve been craving all year is nearing, and what better way to summer than in style? Here are five of the most stylish hotels Europe has to offer.
If you want to add some masculinity to your look, you need to purchase a motorcycle. There’s nothing quite like the rush of hurling along on two wheels and being exposed to the elements. The speed and aspect of danger makes it a truly unique experience and one that just can’t be replicated when driving a car. If you’re going to invest in a bike though, you’re going to want the best and these three not only look fantastic, they also merge elements of the past, present and future into their design and performance, making them unique interpretations of what they envision bike culture to be all about.
The Kennedy’s colossal ‘Winter White House’ in Palm Beach has gone up on the real estate market, and not without a hefty asking price. The famed Atlantic Beach compound is said to be going for $38.5 million. Encompassing 15,000 square feet, the mansion boasts eleven bedrooms, twelve bathrooms and a breathtaking view of the beach.
Whether you’re after a quick humorous fix or an enlightening, educational learning experience, YouTube has it all. The trouble is, with 100 hours of video uploaded to the 9-year-old site every minute, it can be a painful process sifting through the garbage. This week alone has seen a number of exciting videos trending though, and here are three of the best.
Forget every other advert, Guinness, Bud Light, Pepsi, Coco Cola and so on. This in our view is the best advert ever. “Epic” and “mind-blowing” are just some of the words being used to describe this advert for Volvo Trucks. It is pretty clear to see why this went viral, with Jean-Claude Van Damme doing the
Bobby Strom is the most revered personal trainer in Hollywood. He’s the man that A-list celebrities go to when they want to get in shape and with a client list including the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson, it’s fair to say he knows his stuff. One of his latest projects was Joel Kinnaman, who stars as the lead role in the Blockbuster remake of Robocop. We talked with him about how he trained Joel, what kind of exercises he thinks are most effective as well as any tips he can give for those wanting to train like an action film star.
If you’re sitting on a small fortune and wondering what to do with your hard earned cash, then this alluring investment opportunity should grab your attention. Little Rollright, a historic village in the Cotswolds, has been put on the market, with an asking price of £18million. Included in the package is a 10-bedroom mansion, a Grade II-listed rectory, five surrounding cottages, a lake as well as 509 acres of land. If the excitement of buying your very own village isn’t enough though, you’ll be blessed with a number of celebrity neighbours including Jeremy Clarkson, Blur bassist, Alex James, and none other than the Prime Minister, Mr David Cameron himself.
In a sartorial sense, the winter months are, for many, the most exciting time of the year, given that the possibility of layering up and creating tonal outfits with plenty of depth and character is rife. When the summer sun rears its head from behind the clouds though, we would argue that summer dressing is even more appealing. This is especially true of tailoring, when lightweight fabrics like cotton, linen and seersucker replace the heavyweight wools and tweeds of winter. Bolder colours come out too and for us gents it’s a time of reinvention and individual expression. With so much choice out there though, it can be hard to whittle it down so we’ve done the hard work for you. These are our picks for the best summer suits for every budget.
Clearly there are times when honesty is the best policy, if you’re under oath, sure it might be advised to be honest in this situation. But if you simply have an uncontrollable desire to reel of every bad thing you ever done in your life, well you can save that for your shrink…
This summer, we look at three of the best yachts you can charter. With their exquisite designs that ooze opulence, these yachts are irresistible for cruising around the Mediterranean. And if you don’t get a chance in the summer, they’re always great for a winter away in the Maldives or the Caribbean.
