<blockquote><a href="http://wishatl.com/store/">Wish</a> recently worked with Portland, Oregon-based sunglass company Shwood to craft a limited run of 50 pairs of their Govy silhouette, with a customized finish. Traditionally available in an unfinished wood, Wish took the popular Govy silhouette and decked it out with a nice shellac finish. Only 50 pairs of the Wish x Shwood Govy were produced, with each one being individually numbered, along with the Wish Logo engraved on the inside. Each piece is hand crafted, hand-painted, and assembled in Portland, Oregon, by the good folks at Shwood.</blockquote>Limited to 50 pairs only. 125$ each. More pictures below. <br />

Opting for a seasonal and snowy shoot, this selection of previews highlights the English brand’s use of simple layering. The styling here is smart; the lookbook is able to display standout looks despite its simplistic use of colors and classic cuts. Whilst obviously aiming for the middle ground, the collection has enough simple flair to appeal to a more fashion conscious audience. Releases should be underway and will continue over the next few weeks.<br />

<blockquote>Next Spring will be a big one for the Breitling house of watches. Their in-house “Caliber 01″ movment makes its way into the Navitimer line. “Breitling combines its two long-established passions – chronographs and aeronautics – by offering the legendary Navitimer model in a limited series equipped with its proprietary Caliber 01. Issued in 2,000-piece steel and 200-piece red gold editions, the “Navitimer Caliber 01″ is distinguished by its slightly broader diameter and its transparent caseback providing clear views of its high-performance “motor”. An eagerly anticipated model among devotees of the brand with the winged B, and a genuine collector’s item for all connoisseurs of fine mechanical chronographs and aviation.” (<a href="http://www.timezone.com/" target="_blank">tz</a>)</blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F-4y6yrgbr0/TKP4nuAZZwI/AAAAAAAAADc/0BL_y-m1QPg/s1600/breitling-navitimer-caliber01-limited-watch-selectism-0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="140" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F-4y6yrgbr0/TKP4nuAZZwI/AAAAAAAAADc/0BL_y-m1QPg/s200/breitling-navitimer-caliber01-limited-watch-selectism-0.jpg" width="200" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F-4y6yrgbr0/TKP4nzaIg1I/AAAAAAAAADk/t6hrxCYiSZE/s1600/breitling-navitimer-caliber01-limited-watch-selectism-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="149" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F-4y6yrgbr0/TKP4nzaIg1I/AAAAAAAAADk/t6hrxCYiSZE/s200/breitling-navitimer-caliber01-limited-watch-selectism-2.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

In 1950, <a href="http://www.rimowa.de/" target="_blank">Rimowa</a> presented the first-ever corrugated aluminum case, which quickly became the preferred case of the traveling elite, thanks to its lightweight, superior construction. Recreating those styles from yesteryear, the Cologne-based company now present its new vintage series. Limited to a production run of 1,950 pieces, the series is offered in six different sizes—small suitcases to large travel pieces. Each numbered case is made of aircraft aluminum (duraluminium) and lined in a deep blue moiré interior, staying true to the aesthetics of the original versions. The handles are carved from a single block of aluminum, the result of a complicated, painstaking construction process, and the “retro” style locks display the case’s count within the 1,950 piece series stamped into the aluminum. The vintage series will be available exclusively in Rimowa stores worldwide starting December 2010.</blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F-4y6yrgbr0/TKEfSem2tuI/AAAAAAAAADQ/ky1dLsVhU58/s1600/rimowa-vintage-case-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F-4y6yrgbr0/TKEfSem2tuI/AAAAAAAAADQ/ky1dLsVhU58/s200/rimowa-vintage-case-2.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />

<blockquote>A sweater can't get any cozier and stylish than Stella McCartney's Zip Up Cardigan <a href="http://www.stellamccartney.com/us/en/shopStella/Fashion/P-Essental%20Knit%20Zip%20Up%20Cardigan.aspx" target="_blank">($1635)</a>. It is slightly bulky in the bodice and roomy in the arms. The oversized neck - when zipped up - can either fold beautifully around your shoulders creating a cocoon effect or hang in excess at your chest. McCartney's warm and luxurious sweater has a banded hem and wrists completing its oversized yet sleek silhouette. And the pockets are perfect for snuggling into your sweater during those spine-bending-cold Fall and Winter days. Pair with leggings or jeans and tall flat boots for a casual yet chic outfit.</blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F-4y6yrgbr0/TKEd3BRlz0I/AAAAAAAAADI/Eyo0B9tz-ps/s1600/stellamcartneyzipup.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F-4y6yrgbr0/TKEd3BRlz0I/AAAAAAAAADI/Eyo0B9tz-ps/s320/stellamcartneyzipup.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7465958729485374699-1557760103968983763?l=thedandypost.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Dandy Posthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08053245047577294039noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7465958729485374699.post-11726448888552834842010-09-27T11:09:00.000-07:002010-09-27T11:09:40.720-07:002010-09-27T11:09:40.720-07:00Via Snella Spring 2011 Collection<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F-4y6yrgbr0/TKDdezJA1VI/AAAAAAAAACw/9eZSVu2G80s/s1600/via-snella-spring2011-men-selectism-0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="226" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F-4y6yrgbr0/TKDdezJA1VI/AAAAAAAAACw/9eZSVu2G80s/s320/via-snella-spring2011-men-selectism-0.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />

<blockquote><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Osaka-based brand <a href="http://www.master-piece.co.jp/" style="color: #2244bb;" target="_blank">master-piece</a> have just released the following images from their Fall/Winter collection for 2010. Having specialised in the design and construction of bags since ‘94, it’s no surprise that the Japanese label concentrate on a selection of backpacks and bags. The outdoor nature of the shoot suggests that Master Piece are continuing to create durable bags designed for maximum utility. Whilst perhaps a little difficult to obtain outside the land of the rising sun, look out for a release in the coming weeks.</span></blockquote><br />

The 50 watches are based on the newer Vintage BR 123 pieces, but with special colors. The standard cream colored dial is matched to a gray, almost anthracite colored case (likely steel) in a satin finish. The watch is matched to a thick black leather pilot style strap. <br style="line-height: 0.8em;" /><br style="line-height: 0.8em;" />Just like the standard Bell & Ross Vintage BR 123 watches are, the cases for this limited edition are 41mm wide (which sit big as they have a small bezel). Inside the watch is a Swiss ETA 2893 automatic movement. Overall this limited edition offers a slightly different character for the new collection which is already impressing a lot of people with their straight forward good looks. Price for the standard Vintage BR 123 timepieces is $2,900 - so I imagine that this Tourneau exclusive collection will be about the same. </span></span></blockquote><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Available in steel (2,000 pieces) and red gold (200 pieces), this limited edition Navitimer leverages Breitling’s first in-house movement introduced by the brand just last year, the COSC-certified Caliber 01. The Navitimer Caliber 01 is distinguished by its slightly broader diameter (43mm vs. standard 42mm) and its transparent caseback (a rarely used feature for Breitling) . The red gold piece is particularly attractive to me. The watches will hit the market Spring 2011 for a yet to be dislcosed price.</span></blockquote><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<blockquote><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">If you are not intimately familiar with what has become a cult watch amongst pilots and aviation watch enthusiasts, here is a bit of history on the Breitling Navitimer. It was first introduced in 1952. Its defining feature is the circular slide rule which, prior to the advent of modern electronics, was capable of performing a variety of important flight calculations. The Navitimer is (was?) the official watch of<a href="http://www.aopa.org/" style="color: #0066cc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">AOPA (Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association)</a>. A “Cosmonaute” version of the Navitimer accompanied Scott Carpenter on his orbital flight aboard the Aurora 7 capsule (1962), thus becoming the first spacegoing wrist chronograph. Breitling also claims that “Continuously made since 1952, the Navitimer is the world’s oldest mechanical chronograph still in production.”</span></blockquote><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
