August Man SG - Issue 186

Bu konuda

Taking into account, the globalists who grace our pages and what they wore and marrying that with our superior ability to pick menswear trends for 2023, AUGUSTMAN found that our financial prudence tilted the scales in favour of stalwart brands with timeless yet distinctive offerings like Dior, Saint Laurent, Fendi, Emporio Armani, Gucci and also Bottega. In the realm of timekeeping, the ethos of “buy less, buy better” continued with gems like the exquisite Cartier Tank Francaise gracing our cover star. Parmigiani’s new vision for the Chinese luna-solar calendar in the Tonda PF Xiali was also an eye opening rendition of time and date-keeping that we have long accepted as complex but executed with such readable elegance. Also, check out our reportage of new novelties from LVMH Watch Week.

On the lifestyle front, we reviewed a couple of laptops that are capable of pulling the double duty of work and play; we explored the metaverse and found the Pico 4 VR headset is a step in the right direction. Finally, hear from titans of industry like Frederic Arnault, the new CEO of TAG Heuer on what tech means in traditional watchmaking and Panerai CEO Alessandro Ficarelli about luxuries beyond what is worn on the wrist.
