The Watch: A Twentieth-Century Style History

Although the first wristwatches appeared hundreds of years earlier, it wasn't until the 20th century — and WWI in particular — that watches truly took off. The Watch: A Twentieth-Century Style History is a deep dive into the changes that took place over the years, from their early rise to the advent of the quartz movement and the renaissance of mechanical movements towards the end of the century. Alongside the text are hundreds of full-color photos, vintage advertisements, and other promotional materials that help show fine detail and give context to the various releases. Penned by the former deputy worldwide head of Sotheby's watch division, it is a fascinating read for any horological aficionado.

Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street Parfum

This smooth and seductive ultra-male oriental fougère captivates both men and women alike. Inspired by the vibrant revival of Lafayette Street — a historic thoroughfare weaving through iconic New York neighborhoods like Soho, Little Italy, and Chinatown—the fragrance embodies the energy of its surroundings. It opens with fresh bergamot, coriander, and floral notes, transitions to a heart of velvety ambroxan and rich vanilla, and finishes with lingering dry wood, tonka bean, cedarwood, and warm grey amber. Encased in a sleek, leather-textured bottle, Lafayette Street is a celebration of modern masculinity and a tribute to Bond No. 9's roots.
