Omega recently announced the release of their new Spectre Seamaster 300m – which follows up on the Seamaster Aqua Terra that was announced earlier in the year – both of which will adorn Daniel Craig’s wrist in the upcoming James Bond film, SPECTRE. Interestingly, both the Aqua Terra and the Spectre Seamaster have a decidedly retro […]

We’ve all dreamed of being Bond. Admit it, you’ve done the gunbarrel in the mirror and uttered the immortal line in your best Sean Connery accent. Sadly, for many of us, the thrill of the adventure, the exotic locations, the fast cars and beautiful women are all tantalizingly out of reach, forever consigned to fantasy. […]

British watch manufacturer Bremont might not be the best known brand to those who move outside of the somewhat cliquey horological circles, but it has been steadily making a name for itself over the last twelve years or so by making solid, durable pilot watches for adventurers, military aviators, as well for as the occasional […]

Kingsman: The Secret Service has managed to pull off a film merchandising first by teaming with online luxury menswear retailer Mr. Porter to create the Kingsman Collection, comprising of suiting, clothing, and accessories, as used in the actual film. I was fortunate enough to get a chance to visit the Kingsman Collection pop up store […]

After having its name changed from simply The Secret Service, and the release date of the film moved from October of 2014, Kingsman: The Secret Service finally premiered at London’s Leicester Square on Wednesday. Due to these changes, there has been an almost palpable sense of anticipation for the film. However, keeping the […]

As a huge fan of British spy films and television, it’s delightful to see a film released that so embraces the genre. Kingsman: The Secret Service is a spy film packed with irreverent homage to the spy films of the past, but – like the Savile Row suiting in the films – has taken the […]

There can be little doubt that Savile Row is considered to be the heart of bespoke tailoring. After all, the tailors of Savile Row have a long history of producing the finest hand-made garments, made from the highest quality cloths and fabrics. They have dressed royalty, heads of state, cultural icons, as well as officers […]

During the tense days and nights of Second World War, Prime Minister Winston Churchill led the British war effort from the Cabinet War Rooms, a secure and secret bunker beneath the government offices, just off Horse Guard’s Road in London. An underground maze of rooms and offices, the Cabinet War Rooms were a source of […]

Luxury retail has taken a turn in recent years, with online sites offering far more than just a convenient way to shop. Consumers now expect far more than just glorified mail order, and these days they are getting it, with lightning-fast delivery, quality packaging, a no-nonsense returns policy, and dedicated, helpful customer service. Traipse to […]

Over the last few years, Mulberry has established itself as a quirky, yet quintessentially English luxury brand. It has managed to be seen as flirty, feminine and fun, whilst at the same time, practical, elegant and chic; appealing to both those with a developed taste, as well as the younger, edgier trendsetters. This delicate balancing […]

When it comes to the production design on the James Bond films, we’ve been truly spoilt. No other film series can truly claim the lavish and inventive sets associated with the Bond films. We’ve seen hollowed-out volcanoes transformed into rocket bases. We’ve seen supertankers transform into a submarine pen. We’ve seen the towers of gold bars […]

So, it’s London Fashion Week once again and one of my favourite shows is always Mulberry. Their shows are always cute, quirky and fun and somehow manage to be more down to Earth and less pretentious than many of the other shows. The A/W2011 show, held at Claridges’ stunning ballroom, was no exception. Backstage was […]
