This Affordable Italian Watch Checks All the Vintage Chronograph Boxes

A a need for speed

The Hesagraph Variante B is a 12-hour chronograph with a 30-minute counter dial at three o’clock. Every ten minutes is marked with a numeral, and five-minute intervals are marked with a red dot-capped dash.

A twelve-hour counter dial, placed at six o’clock, and a running seconds dial, placed at nine o’clock, have the same layout, only with different numerals.

The outside dial track for the chronograph seconds is broken down by fifths of a second, with an applied marker, red dash and lume dot placed every five seconds.

Both the hour hand and minute hand match previous Hesagraph references, with a straight bar, tapers a bit at the base and a point at the end, each inlaid with lume. The central chronograph hand on the Variante B has been updated to an arrow style with a lume inlay in the point.

This Unique Travel Watch Turns the Typical GMT on Its Head. Literally

Most GMT watches work in the same way. You’ve got your main hour and minute hand for telling the local time on a 12-hour scale, while an additional GMT hand tracks a second time zone on a 24-hour scale.

There are variations, of course. Sometimes there’s a rotating 24-hour bezel, sometimes not. Movements come in either “caller” or “flyer” arrangements, offering independent adjustability of the GMT hand or local hour hand, respectively. Some brands, like Panerai and Patek Philippe, have their GMT hand track the second time zone in a 12-hour rather than 24-hour format.

Then there’s De Bethune. The high-end independent brand thrives on the unexpected and the avant-garde, which is why its take on the travel watch turns the GMT complication on its head. Literally.

In case you couldn’t tell, this isn’t your average GMT.

Home Watch, Meet Travel Watch

De Bethune has just debuted the DB Kind of Two GMT Season 3, a new version of the brand’s previous Kind of Two GMT and its third collaboration with rapper and horological enthusiast Swizz Beatz, hence the “Season 3” moniker.

The watch is effectively two separate watches in one, with the rotating case featuring a unique dial on both sides with each displaying a different time zone. This makes it so the wearer can, if they wish, use one dial for home wear and the other when traveling. Sort of gives a new definition to the term “vacation time.”

This Anti-Magnetic Watch Will Scratch Your Itch for a Beloved Discontinued Rolex

However, the Decaflux is not just a replica. Horage built an impressive watch that can stand on its own merits, like applied Super-LumiNova-filled indices, diamond-cut hands, a signed and knurled screw-down crown and a sapphire crystal exhibition case back.

Considering that Rolex discontinued the Milgauss in 2023, the Decaflux is more fulfilling a vacancy than following a leader. The overall construction and finishing may not be on par with a Rolex, but the desired performance is all there, with a brand that is forging its own path.

Availability and pricing

The Horage Decaflux K3 is now available for preorder from Horage.

During the preorder period, it costs $2835. When it is released on March 24, the price will go up to $3,110, which is still a bargain for the specs on this watch.

This Tiny $25 Gadget Is My New Favorite Charging Accessory

Have you ever tried charging your phone, laptop or headphones and, after a few hours, it still wasn’t charged? The answer is most likely “yes.” You’re then left wondering if there’s something wrong with your device, the charger or the cable. It’s frustrating.

The good news is that you can buy little adapters that show charging stats to help identify the problem. They’re called power meters, and they’re fairly inexpensive.

USB power meters are pretty simple. You plug them into your device and they act as a conduit between it, the charging cable and the power adapter. When charging, the power meter will show you the power — specifically the wattage, but sometimes the voltage and amps as well, depending how fancy it is — going into your device. (You can also plug one directly into a power adapter to see how much power it’s distributing.)

Like most people these days, I have a lot of different gadgets. And thankfully most of them charge via USB-C — even my iPhone — so I can use the same charging cable for all of them. Still, they obviously all have different charging capabilities.

“USB-C is this technology that on one hand is very simple for users — it’s one port to connect everything,” says Bernie Thompson, the founder of Plugable Technologies, which makes an array of chargers, docking stations and related products. “But on the other hand it’s really confusing because you’re never quite sure what level of functionality you’re going to get when connecting things.”

A little power meter can, as Thompson says, help “clarify what’s happening.” I’ve been trying out Plugable’s USB-C power meter for the past several weeks and it’s been enlightening, but mostly quite fun. I use it when charging my iPhone, AirPods and MacBooks, if for no other reason than just to see what’s going on. 

This Ultra-Tough Affordable Sports Watch Boasts a Never-Before-Seen Feature

Historically, major innovations have come from the big names in the watch industry. Think Rolex with its water-resistant Oyster case or Seiko developing the first quartz movement.

But it’s a different world these days. Often, it seems, the most exciting new horological developments are coming from small independent brands that possess the drive, passion and sometimes necessity to innovate as a way to not only survive but stand out in an ever-crowded field.

One of the most impressive brands in this regard is Formex, a small and independent affordable Swiss brand that, unlike most of its competitors, actually has its own Swiss-based manufacturing facilities— Dexel, which produces bracelets and cases for high-end brands like Hublot and Girard-Perregaux, and dial-maker Cadranor.

As a result of Formex’s synergy with its two manufacturing arms (all three companies are owned by the Granito family), Formex’s watches boast several proprietary technologies, such as its patented Case Suspension System. Now, to celebrate its 25th anniversary, the brand has debuted its latest innovation which marks an impressive first in the world of watchmaking.

The Perfect Clasp?

Ceramic has gained popularity as a material in watchmaking in recent years thanks largely to its supreme hardness. The zirconium oxide ceramic typically used in watchmaking offers several times the scratch resistance of stainless steel while also weighing less.

Ceramic bezels and cases are seen most often, with ceramic bracelets and clasps being rarer but by no means unheard of. Given how clasps are typically scratch magnets, ceramic — which is nearly impossible to scratch — is theoretically the best material out of which to make a clasp.

Nomos Minimatik 39 Date

Arguably Nomos’s best modern dress watch, the Minimatik, has seen a trio of references added to its lineup. While the watches are all still powered by the same in-house DUW 3001 Neomatic auto movement, they have seen some significant changes, the most notable of which is their size. Whereas the originals in the series are 35.5mm, this trio is larger at 39.5mm. There are also more subtle changes, like a redesigned case with more sculpted lugs and a gold-lined date window at the 3 o’clock position.

Dickies x Harley-Davidson “Born to Be Alive” Collection

What happens when two iconic American heritage brands team up? When it’s this particular pair, a bunch of moto-inspired workwear, of course. With the goal of transitioning smoothly from the workshop to the road, this collaboration infuses classic Dickies silhouettes — such as the Original 874 Work Pants and the Eisenhower Jacket (above) — with signature Harley details. The collection also includes graphic tees, work shirts, vests, hoodies and hats at wallet-friendly prices.

J.Crew Ludlow Suit in Japanese Cotton Chino

The J.Crew Ludlow suit is still the best value in off-the-rack suiting. Look no further than this Japanese Cotton Chino version for proof. For just over $500, accounting for tax, it competes in fit, feel and finish with competition double the price. It comes in navy and olive and can pull double-duty as a pair of chinos or blazer.

Richard Mille RM 43-01 Ferrari

Richard Mille’s watches are effectively supercars for your wrist and never has that ethos been more true than with the ultra high-end watchmaker’s second collaboration with Ferrari. The RM 43-01 Ferrari is classic Richard Mille, with a signature tonneau case in your choice of Grade 5 titanium or proprietary Carbon TPT revealing a highly complex skeletonized movement. The movement is an in-house engine, Calibre RM43-01, and it boasts a tourbillon, a split-second chronograph, a power reserve indicator and even a torque indicator that measures pressure on the mainspring. There’s a lot going on, but RM still found ways to include several nods to Ferrari’s design language as Easter eggs sprinkled throughout the watch. Pricing comes in above the cost of most Ferraris: $1.3 million in titanium and $1.535 million for Carbon TPT.

Ebbets Field Spring/Summer 2025 Collection

Ebbets Field is well known for its vintage athletic apparel, historic jerseys and wool flannel jerseys, but the brand — whose history dates back to 1988 and was purchased by Lids in 2022 — has done a bit of a rebrand by launching a menswear collection. Its first collection stays true to its old-school baseball roots but branches out into broader categories such as jackets, hoodies, shirts and hats.

GoRuck’s Original Spec-Ops GR1 Backpack Forces Its Way Out of Retirement

This bag is incredibly versatile, looks great and performs to the highest standards. Whether you want to use it as an EDC pack for your daily commute to and from work or take it on a multi-day hike, it will handle both (and everything in between) with grace and aplomb.

GoRuck

And still champion

Along with its unrivaled construction, materials and attachment points, this tactical bag has dozens of other top-notch features that have helped elevate it to legendary status.

For instance, this revival still features the bag’s original bombproof laptop sleeve. Yes, it’s really bombproof and has been tested many times (including by independent reviewers) to prove it.

It also has a removable hard plastic frame sheet for added stability, a trio of interior organizational pockets, hydration pack compatibility, reinforced and padded straps and so much more.

Han Solo’s Iconic DL-44 Blaster Could Fetch $3M At Auction

“Star Wars” fans who have money to burn may want to get their hands on memorabilia from “Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.” Han Solo’s iconic DL-44 blaster could fetch between $2.5 million and $3 million when it goes to auction soon. 

The collector’s item will go under the hammer via Studio Auctions and Goldin Auctions along with other famed movie and TV items. Set decorator Roger Christian, who created the lightsaber, also designed the blaster. He gave it a classic Western cowboy silhouette befitting its gunslinger-turned-space hero owner Han Solo, portrayed by Harrison Ford. 

It’s the only fully intact DL-44 blaster to have survived production of the 1977 “Star Wars” film. Previously in 2022, another of its kind also went to auction and sold for over $1 million. But it wasn’t originally fully intact and was instead made up of spare parts put back together years after filming took place.

This newly surfaced version also got the seal of authentication from experts as original and complete. It will go on auction on May 10 online with a closing live sale on June 28. Goldfin Auctions said full details of the prop, including its provenance, will be shared next week, on March 26.

“Star Wars” is one of the most valuable properties for movie collectors. Production memorabilia and even props are the most expensive. An X-Wing fighter from “A New Hope” also sold for over $3 million in 2024. The DL-44 blaster is part of Han Solo’s legendary look and being it a prized item from the first “Star Wars” flick would surely entice potential buyers.

I Can’t Find a Single Flaw with These Minimalist Gym Shorts That Do So Much More

Vented outseams are common, especially in running shorts, but I’m a fan of the overlapping detail found on the Sevens Sport Short. It is supposed to aide in flexibility but I think it just looks cool.

Most people probably won’t even notice it, but I like that there is a faux fly, which even has a placket, because it makes the appearance a bit more acceptable as casual everyday shorts.

My final verdict is that Wellen’s Sevens Sport Short might be my new favorite general-purpose shorts. Over the course of a few months, I’ve worn them all weekend long while chasing my kids around, ran seven miles in them, styled them with loafers and an oxford shirt for a family dinner and I haven’t noticed a single flaw the entire time.

Availability and pricing

The Wellen Sevens Sport Short is available exclusively from Huckberry for $78.

Wellen maximized the personalization of this design by allowing providing six colors, two inseam lengths and optional lining.

This Is One of the Classiest Dress Watches I’ve Ever Seen

German watchmaker Glashütte Original has one of the most varied catalogs in the luxury watch game.

Want a killer dive watch? Get a SeaQ. In the mood for something haute and avant-garde? Try the Pano collection. Coveting retro vibes? Check out the Original Sixties and Original Seventies.

Finally, if you want a classy dress watch, the brand offers its Senator collection of very traditional-looking dress pieces. There are myriad options within the collection, but my favorite has to be the Senator Excellence Panorama Date Moon Phase, as it combines its two titular complications in a uniquely symmetrical layout. (I like complicated dress watches, okay?)

Today, GO has launched two new references of the Senator Excellence Panorama Date Moon Phase, each with a stunning dial treatment that puts them among the classiest dress watches I’ve ever seen.

Glashütte Original has outdone itself with its latest dress watches.

Frosted Tips Dials

The new dial colors are “Frosted Silver” and “Frosted Copper.” Both feature hand-applied Roman numeral indices made of gold with blue coating, heat-blued hands, and the titular complications at 10:30 and 4:30, which are driven by the in-house Calibre 36-24 automatic movement.

The “frosted” in the watches’ names comes from the unique treatment applied to the dial. Galvanic coloring is combined with a grained texture and matte finish, giving the watch face a frosted look.

This Funky Magnet Lock EDC Blade Comes from a Knifemaking Supergroup

The Piranha’s handle is arguably the most interesting part. It’s available in several different materials, including Micarta, titanium, carbon fiber, and even Ultem. While its makeup is noteworthy, its deployment and locking mechanism make it stand out.

The handle opens like a butterfly knife (or a balisong). But instead of swinging freely, the scales snap back together once the blade is extended, creating a seal with rare earth magnets. It’s an unusual, fidget-friendly oddity of a lock (and deployment) that makes the knife all the more unique.

Suprlativ

A labor of love

As mentioned, Suprlativ is the brainchild of a trio of knifemakers: Enrique Peña, Jared Oeser and Javi Garcia. All three are significant designers in their own right.

But what they’re doing with this brand is something truly special. The brand aims to create unique designs that hinge on modern materials, top-notch mechanisms and precision constructions, all while offering them at relatively affordable prices.

Tracksmith’s Subtly Technical Super Shoe Has No Business Looking This Stylish

There’s simply no way around it: we run in a super-shoe world.

Before the Vaporfly, and the countless shoes that followed, only one person in history had ever completed a marathon in less than two hour and three minutes on a record-eligible course.

Less than a decade later, nearly a dozen more have joined the fray, with both Eliud Kipchoge and the late Kelvin Kiptum accomplishing the feat more than once.

But speed isn’t the only thing affected. Shoes themselves look different now.

Midsoles are thicker, soles arrive half-carved out (usually exposing a carbon-fiber plate) and lightweight uppers are proudly showcased in every shade of neon imaginable. The message from most brands is clear: super shoes aren’t your typical trainers.

Leave it to Tracksmith to say just the opposite.

This Minimalist ’90s-Inspired Chrono Was Made for Watch Fanatics by Watch Fanatics

This new design — a monochromatic take on the chronograph — is inspired by the grit and grime of ’90s action movies. It’s far more minimalist in its styling than the first Regulator collab, which is definitely a good thing.

But the seemingly stripped-down dial has a hidden secret: the whole thing is lumed. The dial surface glows blue, whereas its markers are done-up in green, helping the watch remain clear and readable even in the lowest light conditions.

With an entirely lumed dial, this watch is clear and readable even in the lowest lighting conditions.
Worn & Wound

More than meets the eye

Despite the minimalist colorway and styling, this watch has a lot going on. While that might seem obvious — it is a chronograph — it speaks to the incredible balance struck by Brew and Worn & Wound.

For instance, the hour subdial — a standard feature in regulator watches — is split into dual 12-hour segments instead of a typical, single 0-24 scale for easier reading. Furthermore, it is split into light and dark to help better distinguish between AM and PM at a glance.

Old Forester 117 Bottled in Bond Rye Whiskey

Old Forester, a mainstay of the American whiskey-making business, has finally launched its first-ever bottled-in-bond rye. Boasting a makeup of 65 percent rye, 20 percent malted barley, and 15 percent corn, this spirit features notes of spice, fruit and floral sweetness. It’s also, unfortunately, extremely limited. Some bottles are being sold at the distillery’s shop, but the online bottles have already sold out. However, you can pay for the distillery’s rye whiskey experience — a unique 50-minute tasting — and score two bottles, among other perks.

Thurston Power Wool Skull Cap

Launched by a former Polartec employee, Colorado-based start-up Thurston aims to leverage material innovations to upgrade performance headwear. This comfy shoulder season-ready beanie stands out thanks to its use of Polartec Power Wool, which features plush merino wool on the inside and a high-stretch technical knit on the outside. Natural thermoregulating properties combine with easy-wearing flatlock seams to make it fit smoothly under a cap or helmet, while its compressible nature means you can stash in a pocket and bust out solo anytime temps drop, too.

End’s script logo appears in the dial’s background when the Indiglo button is engaged and is engraved on the bracelet clasp and case back. An all-black version is available as well.

Google Pixel 9AGoogle

Google Pixel 9A

The Google Pixel 9A is a more affordable version of the company’s flagship Pixel 9 smartphone, but the two are actually quite similar. They have a 6.3-inch display with a 120Hz refresh and are powered by the same Tensor G4 processor. The Pixel 9A is thicker and lacks a camera bump, but this has allowed Google to give it a bigger battery, and thus, the Pixel 9A has the best battery life of any Pixel smartphone. The main sacrifices are that the Pixel 9A doesn’t have as good of a rear-camera system — but it does come with an ultra-wide lens (unlike Apple’s budget iPhone 16E) — and its build quality isn’t as premium (for instance, it has a plastic back instead of the Pixel 9’s glass back).

Fujifilm GFX100RFFujifilm

Fujifilm GFX100RF

The Fujifilm GFX100RF is a 102-megapixel medium-format digital camera with a fixed 28mm equivalent F4 lens — it’s essentially the long-rumored “medium format X100.” It has a massive sensor, an excellent lens and features rarely seen on compact cameras, such as a built-in ND filter and dedicated aspect ratio dial. The gorgeous yet pricey compact camera is likely geared toward street and travel photography. It’s available in black or silver finishes.

An Insider-Favorite Brand Just Launched One of the Most Advanced Tool Watches Ever

Oil and Magnets

Typically, oil and magnets are two of a mechanical watch’s greatest enemies. Oil-filled dials are generally not seen on mechanical watches, as there is a danger of oil leaking into the movement and gumming up the works. Magnetism, meanwhile, can affect the delicate metal parts of a movement and disrupt its timekeeping.

But to the Ressence Type 7, both oil and magnets are critical. The oil-filled dial is completely distortion-free, as the oil and the sapphire crystal refract light in a remarkably similar fashion. That’s why the dial looks like a digital screen — the oil makes the hands and subdials appear as if they’re projected directly onto the underside of the crystal.

The Type 7 is arguably Ressence’s most versatile watch yet.
Ressence

The oil is completely separated from the automatic movement by a titanium membrane, meaning there’s no possible way for the oil to enter the movement. So then how does the movement direct the hands of the dial? To quote Stargate SG-1‘s Jack O’Neill: Magnets.

A series of micro magnets on each side of the titanium membrane magnetically connect the movement to the ROCS axle, allowing the movement to turn the hands and discs via magnetic transmission. Ressence developed magnetic conductors to reduce and pinpoint the field of the magnets, while also using a special alloy to protect the watch’s escapement. As a result, the magnets have no adverse effect on the timekeeping.

This Modular EDC Storage Display Is Too Ingenious and Elegant to Ignore

While everyday carry gear — knives, watches, pens and so on — has continued to evolve over the years, storage solutions have stayed woefully behind the trends. If you’re an EDC fan, your storage solutions probably consist of boxes, drawers and maybe even desktop trays (if you have a solution at all).

But it doesn’t have to be this way, as RotoSelect is here to prove. This modular storage display might be the most clever, elegant solution ever for keeping your EDC organized and at the ready.

Top-down look at RotoSelect
A simple twist of the RotoSelect’s dial rotates your gear toward the top window.
RotoSelect

You spin me right round.

Inspired by airplane engines and Braun’s design studio, the RotoSelect is shockingly simple in concept. It’s also magnificently executed from its design to its manufacturing.

It’s a round, recessed desktop device with internal modular storage shelves. Outside, it has a twist-operated wheel that spins the internal storage when rotated.

Above the internal wheel is a display window that doubles as a dust cover, protecting the gear inside. There’s also a separate, smaller rotating window that also acts as the primary access point. Turn the wheel until the gear you want is below the smaller window, and you can reach inside and grab it.

A Classic High-End Feature Just Made Its Way to an Award-Winning Affordable Watch Brand

It wasn’t that long ago when Raymond Weil was basically an afterthought in the watch industry, lost in a sea of several similar Swiss brands with uninspiring names, affordable price points, and a comparatively short history.

But that all changed when the brand’s Millesime, which unexpectedly took home the Challenge Prize at the GPHG Awards — essentially the Oscars for watches — in late 2023.

All of a sudden, Raymond Weil was a hot brand getting a lot of attention, and it has fully capitalized on its newfound hype with a run of impressive new releases in the year and change since its award-winning moment. (Just check out the gorgeous Millesime Chronographs that debuted last year.)

Raymond Weil’s latest release continues the brand’s hot streak, as it brings a high-end complication and styling to a surprisingly affordable price segment.

Complete-ly New

Raymond Weil’s latest watch is the Freelancer Complete Calendar, a dressy new entry into the brand’s wide-ranging Freelancer collection. Generally speaking, the Freelancer models possess more of a versatile, everyday look than the retro Millesime, so it’s nice to see RW give some attention to its non-Millesime watches.

The new complete calendar features the day, date, month and moonphase displays on the dial in a very classic layout that’s straight out of Patek Philippe’s playbook. The day and date occupy separate small windows side by side below the brand logo at 12 o’clock, while the date appears in a subdial at 6 o’clock along with the moonphase.

Böker Plus Hidden Release Trapper

At first glance, this knife looks like a traditional slipjoint folder — even its title, Trapper, suggests as much. However, looks can be deceiving. In reality, this classically appointed knife is actually a thoroughly modern automatic flipper. The launch button is hidden in the knife’s silver bolster, helping keep it discreet. It also has a D2 blade and your choice of bone or G10 handle scales.

Craft Kype Pro Running Shoe

Sweden’s Craft joins the super-shoe race with the Kype Pro, a shoe optimized for distances between the half and full marathon. Like other shoes in its class, it comes with a carbon-fiber plate that combines with Pebax foam for a lightweight package that over-delivers on responsiveness. The outsole is made in collaboration with cycling brand Vittoria, while the midsole features a split-heel design to minimize friction in one’s stride.

Nanoleaf PC Screen Mirror LightstripNanoleaf

Nanoleaf PC Screen Mirror Lightstrip

Nanoleaf’s PC Screen Mirror Lightstrip is a plug-and-play lightstrip for PC gamers. It features 75 color-changing LEDs that stick (via adhesives) to the back of your monitor. And, uniquely, it doesn’t require any additional hardware as the lightstrip plugs directly into your monitor via USB-C. To customize the color and animations of the lights, you use Nanoleaf’s desktop app. You can also set it up so the lights mirror the colors and tones on your screen. The lightstrip is optimized for 32-inch monitors, but if you have a smaller monitor, you can trim off the extra lights without destroying it.

Civivi’s Futuristic EDC Knife’s Spiderweb-Like Handle Has a Covert Perk

The cutouts also add texture to the handle. They pair with the handle’s angular, ergonomic ridges to offer a more secure overall grip — an essential factor when using the knife to make tougher cuts.

This knife also takes that a step further. The flipper, for instance, acts as a finger guard, preventing the user’s digits from slipping up toward the blade’s edge. Plus, the ridges on the blade’s spine add a good spot to place one’s thumb for additional leverage and downforce.

The angularity of the knife’s handle and blade makes it more ergonomic.
Civivi

Affordable, not cheap

While not bargain-bin affordable, the Anaaki is pretty inexpensive. However, it’s not cheap, as its materials and mechanisms prove.

The handle is crafted from aluminum, which is both strong and lightweight. The blade is Nitro-V steel (except for the red one, which comes with Damascus steel). Nitro-V isn’t exactly a super steel but is very respectable in its toughness, edge performance and — most significantly — corrosion resistance.

This Stunning Slipjoint Combines USA Knife Traditions with European Craft

According to Voxnaes, this cutting tool is based on those “used by European winegrowers in both Italy and France,” combined with his love of “American slip joint patterns.”

The Jaques is a reinterpretation of several traditions that have been combined like never before. That unique combination of influences has resulted in a design that’s somehow both familiar and novel, old-school and fresh at the same time.

MKM Jaques knives closed on rocks
All six configurations of the Jaques are gorgeous, so it’s tough to pick a favorite.
MKM

Traditional, meet contemporary

The Jaques’ uniqueness doesn’t stop at its design. Its material makeup also combines old and new.

For example, the blade is a Wharncliffe shape with a manual nail nick deployment — both of which scream “classic.” However, it’s built from MagnaCut — an extremely contemporary super steel that’s one of the most popular at the moment.
