Hublot: Chukker Bang
Polo is a rough gentleman's sport. Jaeger LeCoultre's Reverso acknowledges this, by allowing the watch wearer to reverse the watch case to prevent crystal damage.
Hublot's solution is a grille that can be affixed to the bezel that covers the sapphire crystal to protect it during the rough and tumble of Polo playing. Observe: Watch image on left without grille. Watch image on right with grille.
In addition to the improved case protection, this watch, featuring the HUB1141, also exhibits a 7 minute 30 second counter at 9 to reflect a single period of Polo play known as a "chukka" (awful name, isn't it?). The chronograph also features a 30-second central seconds hand (as apposed to the more common 60-second varieties).
The limited edition "chukker bang" is available in a numbered series of 500 pieces, or for the more well-heeled, a diamond-set grille version.

Comme des Garcons: Junya Watanabe Sweat Duffle Coat
The Sweat Duffle Coat perfectly represents what we appreciate the most of the brand taking classics into a new direction via material use. The classic duffle coat comes in sweat material, featuring a bi-tonal upper and of course the obligatory toggles.

This is why I love the east coast car seen. Hurricane Irene ripped through here just 8hours before the meet and it was still on. Half the people there didnt even have power at there house's so this was the perfect way to spend the day.
Thanks to Dash and Mischief for a great meet.

WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie’s Fall Bag Preview
The silhouettes are clean but still pay attention to detail. I feel that the collection screams luxury and elegance without sacrificing style and brand recognition. Redefining the concept of timelessness, each piece is designed to be relevant for generations to come. Constructed from quality materials that only get better with age, each product is meticulously crafted from the finest grade leather and 100% organic cotton, so you can explore your world with consciousness, efficiency and style.
What is going on???
The DMV (DC/MD/VA) has just been getting nailed this week. A hail storm, a earthquake and now hurricane Irene. Whats next....

Land Rover Defender: Vilner
Bulgarian-based tuner Vilner (named after a Lithuanian city) recently put some heavy-duty touches to a utilitarian Land Rover Defender with some impressive results. The overall package exudes a much more luxurious outlook with contrast leather seating, in-cab entertainment systems and a sleek black paint job. Putting a Vilner-custom Defender through its paces in the wild seems a little easier said than done
