Nothing important happened this week, did it?
Tiiiiiime, why you punish me…
Big watches were all the rage but smaller (<40mm) timepieces are becoming more common in a quiet luxury world. This new Circadian Monster from Shinola in 36mm and mother of pear dial will be available later this week (11/7) and we doubt it stays in stock very long.
And for those who just can’t divert from a bigger watch, you should absolutely checkout the entire Shinola Monster collection, especially the Mooncraft Monster Chrono 43mm, below:
New Porsche just dropped
After you get yourself a nice watch, the Porsche is next right?
Gentleman’s Journal details the 2 new models of the 2025/ 911 GT3.
(Is anyone else noticing a trend of dark green cars this year? The new Lexus GX is one of our favorites).
Stitch Golf releases new hybrid golf shoe
You probably know Stitch golf from seeing their bags pop up everywhere lately and/or seen their clothes on annoying reigning US Open champ Bryson DeChambeau. What began as a company specializing in innovative luggage and golf apparel has now expanded into footwear with their new SL Pace.
Instead of opting for a more traditional silhouette like the Footjoy Premier Series or Gfore Gallivanter, the SL Pace is more athletic looking, (eerily) similar to the Gfore MG4+ or the Puma Ignite.
The Pace comes in 3 colorways - white/navy (our favorite), white/orange, and grey.
The best thing about these shoes? They can easily pass for a non-golf shoe. Don’t be surprised if you see them more at your country club bar than you do on the course.
The streetwear rush into golf continues, this time with Off-White

Paris Hilinski for Off-White
Off-White, the company founded by the late Virgil Abloh, is fast-following brands like Malbon by combining their streetwear history into big stage apparel for golf’s biggest stars.
While Off-White is certainly not the company it was in 2015-2020 (think peak-Kanye), it does carry some weight still and will certainly bring more eyeballs to golf that didn’t have an excuse before.
What we’re listening to…
UK producer Boston Bun is back with his new album, Mixed Feelings. It’s a faster-paced style of house music, not quite drum and bass, but always with smooth vocal samples. Give it a chance if you’re looking for something new.
Not even sure what to say except:
