London Fashion Week Mens Dunhill

Dunhill, the epitome of British menswear, continued the brand’s tradition of classic tailoring.  Refinement is the word I would use to describe a collection that stayed within all the boundaries. New Creative Director Mark Weston has inherited a brand a strong identity but there was a need to make it more modern.  He did not add any new twists but instead veered to the safe side.  I cannot blame him.   Luxury is about small details that people in the know would recognize.

Casualwear, jackets and other outerwear were on display, some with cashmere and luxury fabrics. The leather goods were traditionally masculine, and modern.   There was a patterned bag that was less about being flashy but trying to have a bit of a contemporary edge.

It is going to be interesting to see where Dunhill goes in the future.

Berlinale-Sixties Iconic

Glashütte Original introduced a new timepiece collection at The 67th Berlinale, Sixities Iconic Square Collection.  For the man looking for a cool statement piece, with a splash of color for distinction, this is the watch for him.

There are five models with stunning colored dials; blue, gold, gray, green, and red.  Reaching back to its roots, 1964, Glashütte Original designed this collection, inspired by history the brand.

Sixties Iconic Square Ocean

My favorite style, the Blue Dial/face, has an Automatic Movement, off center small second stop with the perfected Glashütte three-quarter plate, skeletonized motor, sapphire glass, and alligator strap, all in a stainless casing with blue and black lacquer degrade effect.

After trying on the different models in the Glashütte Original Golden Bear Lounge at the Berlinale,  I liked the Ocean color the most because it is different enough to be noticed but still a classic style.  I can wear it for day and night.

The watches are available worldwide in fine stores and Glashütte Original Boutiques.

Glashutte Original is an official sponsor of the 67th Berlinale.
