A Lange & Söhne Odysseus

Super-fine watchmakers A Lange & Söhne are known more for their precious metals and ultra-luxe pieces than for sporty fare. But the Odysseus line brings effortless elegance to a more casual style. With a new mechanism developed especially for the line, the athletic timepiece (left) features large-format date and day display on a textured grey dial, encased in a 40.5mm white gold case and finished with a leather or rubber strap. The brand also developed the L155.1 Datomatic manufacture calibre exclusively for the new line, which marks the sixth distinct collection in A Lange & Söhne’s history. Exciting times, indeed.

Brioni is so stylish it invented the men’s runway show in 1952

This ultra-cool menswear couture house was established in Rome in 1945, and has become world famous for its tailored suits, high-fashion seasonal collections and leather couture. In fact, Brioni is so stylish it invented the men’s runway show in 1952, the trunk show and ready-to-wear haute couture – no wonder it attracts heads of state, business leaders and movies stars, like current ambassador Brad Pitt. The brand’s spring/summer 2020 collection is full of subtle pops of colour and fine silhouettes to make you instantly catwalk ready (above). Dressing to impress is definitely back in style.

Bennett Winch SC Holdall

Handmade in England using traditional skills and materials, Bennett Winch produces elegantly minimalist and utterly sumptuous accessories built to last. Sharp and understated, we love the brand’s SC Holdall (short for suit carrier). The perfect fusion of style and function, the weekend bag and suit carrier can be used separately or together. The suit case wraps around the central bag to minimise creases and folds, while the lightweight holdall – made from 18oz twill – ensures a solid structure without any added heft. It also comes with a slimline coathanger and waterproof bag for shoes or other accessories. It’s no surprise that the SC Holdall sold out three times during its soft launch – it’s the ideal travel companion for the discerning gentleman. Talk about bags of style…
