Treat Yourself: Louis Erard Excellence Petite Seconde
The Louis Erard brand known the world over for fun and creative takes on beautiful watches. We appreciate their eye for detail and ability to deliver high horology features and designs at approachable prices. The Louis Erard Excellence Petite Seconde is a poster child for such values, featuring standout dial designs and finishes. Each reference brings a character of its own and is executed to exacting standards. These are the kinds of watches that look better the close you look.
Value-Packed Pick: G-Shock Corduras Collection
Retro-inspired watches are fun, but to appreciate what Casio is cooking up in the modern age, look no further than the G-Shock Utility Black Series with Cordura fabric. G-Shock succeeded the original Casiotron by nearly a decade but has always been on the cutting edge of materials science and technology. Enter the Utility Black Series and, for the first time, a partnership with Cordura Eco Fabric. This collection – which comprises the 2100, 700, and 5600-series references – makes a strong value packed pick thanks to its rugged strap material and easy-change strap system. Cordura is often found on hardcore gear and has made its way into myriad military and outdoor applications, so marrying it with G-Shock is a no-brainer.
Upgrade Your Kit: The James Brand Mehlville
Upgrading Your Kit is about building a foundation of quality gear that quietly works in the background with the kind of reliability you would expect. What The James Brand has managed to achieve with one solid block of aluminum is incredible. The Mehlville, which can be had in a variety of colors, is an exercise in excellence in simplicity. Its dual compartments – one larger than the other – ensures a secure attachment regardless of your use case. A spring-loaded gate keeps things secure, and we also appreciate the clever integration of a bottle opener on the side. Pick up one today and crack open a few cold ones to enjoy.
When You Have Too Many Watches: BB Rechargeable Duster
The Nitecore BB2 Rechargeable Duster is the kind of godsend we never knew we needed. Instrumental for cleaning camera lenses and equipment, laptops, keyboards, you name it, the BB2 uses a motor that winds to 30,000 RPM but also includes three distinct modes for different cleaning applications: Turbo, Optical, and Silent. The duster is compact and perfect for travel, and its rechargeable battery makes it an easy grab-and-go option. It’s one of those rare things that makes you think “why didn’t I get one sooner?”
