1926 Montblanc Heritage is a new original collection of leather pieces, created for inspired travellers seeking stylish yet durable everyday companions. Any briefcase takes a toll from the daily commute’s crowded trains and turnstiles. That’s why Montblanc designed their bags with reinforced corners to withstand such wear and tear. The whole collection is crafted in vegetable tanned leather, treated in the great Tuscan tradition to lend each piece a rich, dark brown aging patina and worn-in charm. Briefcase bags also come with an optional shoulder strap, so you can go hands-free, making them ideal for the busy commute or international travel.

Timeless timescape

Girard-Perregaux introduces a new Constant Escapement LM model featuring a more technical and contemporary design. First launched in 2008, the Constant Escapement revolutionized the very foundations of chronometry for timekeeping precision. Considered the holy grail of mechanical watchmaking, the constant force escapement utilizes a highly elastic silicon spring to regulate movement fatigue and enhance the timepiece’s performance. Featuring an all-black dial, it is available in pink or white gold or in a carbontitanium composite.

Whether you prefer formal or sporty, you can enjoy the best of both worlds with Berluti’s Fast Track Sneakers. The wingtip-brogues let you bend formal dress codes without actually breaking them. The soles are purposely fashioned from tracking sneakers and are perfect for the busy gent, allowing him time to walk from one point to another without compromising his classier style. Made from navy blue leather that’s wax-brushed to enhance the polish and color, they combine sporty sneaker details, like mesh panels and webbing pull tabs, with thick soles reminiscent of creepers. Wear them to the office with tailored trousers or run errands with jogger pants or shorts.
