To go with my mandatory Andre Benjamin reblog policy, I’ve added a mandatory Junghans Max Bill reblog policy. In this case, the chronograph with date. Doesn’t get much more beautiful than this watch.

Artist Simon Menner found these remarkably spy-looking photos in the archives of the Stasi, the East German secret police force. They illustrate how to blend in with your surroundings. (As long as you are surrounded by bad guys from Rocky & Bullwinkle.)

It’s On eBay Stowa Automatic Watch, Circa 1970s I’m a big fan of a distinctive watch for more casual wear.  I often wear an Omega Dynamic, which has a similarly space-age aesthetic. Bidding starts at $199, or Buy It Now for $225

Another in our series of photos of real men dressed well - this time a triptych from Florian, of Germany.  I love the way the relatively neutral tones of the coat and scarf give way, upon close inspection, to a riot of color.  Florian is dressed for the cold, but he isn’t letting winter win.
