"Those who make their dress a principal part of themselves, will, in general, become of no more value than their dress." William Hazlitt Hah, he was a funny chap. I am currently reading "On the pleasure of hating" and I confess that he brilliantly describes the emotion everyone can relate to. On th...

I believe that answer to that lies in the question itself. Due to the rather small community of well dressed gentlemen (let's put the subjective view of what is well and what is not aside), recognising a well dressed gentleman is also reserved for a rather small group of men. Hence investing in good...

Dear all,

thank you for your suggestions, they are dearly appreciated!

Kind regards,

Fellow LLers, as I will be in London this August attending summer university I am asking whether you know or can recommend any study rooms or libraries in particular? As I will have a student ID from the LSE, non-public libraries shall be no problem to access. I am asking because the library at the ...

I have just recently stumbled upon this short video from Le Royal Monceau - Paris. Nothing too specific, but lovely nevertheless!

Things aren't what they were in the casino world. Flash has overtaken taste. But there are a few places that still do things well. In London, Aspinall's in Curzon St. is probably the most elegant casino in the world today. Beautifully decorated, well run. The Clermont Club in Berkeley Square was th...

I do agree, this watch is highly wearable and special! Wear it in good health!

Dear All, I am looking for elegant casinos around the globe. I have been to Las Vegas (for starters), but that definitely hasn't been a pleasurable experience. Coming from a family that doesn't really indulge in risking money, I most likely lack a lot of experience in that field. Nevertheless I am a...

This is a joke. If you cannot find a style that fits you I hardly believe that you should get into this. Maybe first start by looking into yourself. Would be interested if you explain your ideas in more detail. Only a quick glance at the website tells me that this is nothing but a cash cow, as they...

Thank you. It was taken in Liechtenstein.

I felt it was time that some pictures find its way into this thread. So please, go ahead, and share your timepieces. This is a Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Geographic in Steel. At 39mm it has a fairly modern size, yet not bigger than the trend nowadays. It is very beautifully crafted and feels go...

Well, as I live in Vienna, I wish to add some more aspects. Climate is very central European. You get cold, snowy and dry winters, rainy springs, not too hot summers and a very romantic and windy autumn. What I very much appreciate about Wien and miss in other cities is the well known "Kaffehauskult...

Yes, I agree to some extent. Hence I referenced to vintage timepieces. But your point is duely taken.

There is this saying:"A gentleman wears his heart on his sleeve." So yes, we agree here!

Very fancy website, good work!
