August Man SG Magazine - Issue 198

In this issue

The Lunar New Year and with it, the arrival of Spring is considered a season of renewal and rejuvenation inspiring poets and philosophers with its beauty and vitality across East Asian cultures. In terms of fashion, the future is pretty darned bright: cute creatures of legend abound in Dior (p. 18) and Onitsuka Tiger (p. 24) collabs. Stone Island is also encouraging you to find your compass (p. 26) — you can’t get to your personal objectives without a direction, can you?

Speaking of creatures, in East Asian cultures, dragons are generally considered benevolent symbols of power, wisdom and longevity. Whereas in Western cultures, they are frequently linked to chaos, greed and often the antagonists that need to be vanquished by heroic figures as part of their hero’s journey.

This February, Augustman is kicking off our hunt for “August Men of Tomorrow” (p. 15) — we are looking for men who are looking to assume their responsibilities as stewards to a wholesome society. We have a slew of draconic-inspired timepieces (p. 62 to 73). We also covered the new (and old) novelties at LVMH Watch Week from Hublot, Zenith and Bulgari (p. 74 onwards). For this issue, “main character energy” comes by way of the Parmigiani Tonda PF, as we address the trend that in watchmaking, the quieter and more subtle the timepieces are, the more voluminous they speak (p. 54).

We covered escapes, local and abroad (p. 98 onwards) as well, in case you want to take your 2024 long weekends to the next level.
