August Man SG - Issue 185

In this issue

This issue was conceptualised as a spring board into the new year. We have pre-season collections (p. 14 to 21) from Louis Vuitton, Dior and Alexander McQueen. As we look forward, we look at the road taken and Breguet’s own modern legacy (p. 30), while casting an eye to the future with creations like the Hublot with rainbow-infused carbon case (p. 32) and Epic Timepieces (p. 34) as selected by the legendary Laurent Picciotto. Just in case the year is beginning a little rough, we have a guide to whisky (p. 44) and we are equipping you with the tools to keep life on track with the latest wearables from Montblanc and Apple in our Quantified Life series (p. 50).

Dressed in Onitsuka Tiger, cover star Glenn Yong has choice words for toxic critics. Even our features are tailor-made to equip you with a working knowledge of all things required in a gentleman’s repertoire: Watches for Gentlemen (p. 88), how epic composer Ryuichi Sakamoto breathes new perspectives into Krug (p. 92) and UBS’s approach to art with Mentor August Hatecke (p. 96).

Enjoy the issue.
