Magrette Taniwha Engraved Gold Inlaid Watch
Because sometimes a piece is so well-crafted it’s borderline obscene to wear it, lest it be damaged, we can’t, in good conscience, advise anyone to actually wear the Magrette Taniwha. With hand engraved scenes that take hours to create, all inlaid in gold, the watch feels more like a piece of art than any mere timepiece. Also features a soft black leather strap with it’s own engraving, as well as a sapphire caseback window. Available at Margrette.

April 77 Records – Chainsaw Ranch Jacket
As if patterned from a fuzzed out old Polaroid, the Chainsaw Ranch Jacket from April 77 Records filters vibrant buffalo check plaid into a grainy, grey-ed out piece at once fresh yet familiar. Detailed with a raw denim under collar and wooly-lamb-like body lining, the Ranch Jacket rambles into your life to the beat of a free musical download when purchased online from BespokeBoutique.com.
Bedwin & The Heartbreakers – FUDGE Magazine Editorial
Bedwin’s spread in FUDGE magazine just shows how much difference styling can make. As previously featured here on Swipelife, Bedwin’s fally/winter collection was a fairly straightforward reworking of American classics, with a pop of color. However, in this spread, entitled Traveling of a Stranger, the collection is reimagined as a vaguely western road-trip, complete with cropped trousers and leather hats. Clearly conceived for a different audience, the collection, frankly, suffers. It’s a challenge to see the appeal in loose maroon trousers with a buffalo checked shirt and a black on black varsity jacket. All the same, still an interesting take on the collection.

Conference of Birds – Fall/Winter 2009 Lookbook
With Autumn’s chill starting to set in, Conference of Birds A/W 09 lookbook becomes increasingly more relevant and needed. With thick scarves and chunky sweaters, as well as cozy wool overcoats and leather dusters, the latest collection steps into a more rugged realm of British sensibilities, a noted departure from the previous year’s tailored, somewhat youthful take on cold-weather clothing.

Richard Mille RM 028 Diver
The Richard Mille RM 028 Diver continues on the successful heels of Richard Mille’s RM 025 Tourbillon Chronograph, with similar function and quality in a less auspicious case. A true diver’s watch, it’s water resistant to 300 meters and offers 55 hours of power. Perhaps most impressively, the watch can be adjusted for the owner’s lifestyle–with the setting of the rib able to be modified to speed up or slow down depending on the wearer’s activity level.
Universal Works – Spring/Summer 2010 Collection
With quite a few pieces reminiscent of J. Crew’s recent offerings, Universal Works Spring/Summer collection features white oxfords, khakis and chambray–not to mention a welcomed resurgence of madras. Coming founder A more daring aesthetic may be expected from founder David Keyte (formerly of Paul Smith, Maharishi, and Albam), but that would overlook the accessibility of this collection, where nearly every piece is interchangeable. Available at Oi Polloi.
