HANDS-ON: The Grand Seiko SBGJ241 GMT, only the second vertical striped dial of this kind

Watch designs can be very homogenous at times, with brands capitalising on iconic silhouettes and forms to elevate their offerings.

Vive Paris And Vive La Couleur: What Berluti Has Done To Make Men’s Feet Fashionable – Reprise
