Everyday Carry: Chronograph
In the latest installment of our themed everyday carry series, we’re focusing on the chronograph: A special type of watch that combines both a 12-hour time display and a stopwatch. Each item on this list is inspired by the black and steel aesthetic so favored by chronograph watches, so you can put together a cleverly specific EDC setup to pair with your favorite outfits.
Ray-Ban Bill Sunglasses
The “Bill” sunglasses from Ray-Ban are pure ‘80s nostalgia, updated for the new millennium with more durable materials. First released in 1985, the Bill sunglasses combine oversized lenses with a rounded, angular design that’s bold and immediately noticeable. Wear a pair of these, and you’ll want to grab your Members Only jacket and hop into your DeLorean for a joy ride.
IWC Portugieser Chronograph
It wouldn’t be a chronograph-themed collection without the iconic IWC Portugieser Chronograph watch—a beautiful self-winding piece of finely tuned Swiss machinery that’s as classy as it is contemporary. A black alligator leather watch band brings everything together, capping this watch off with a unique look and feel that’s sure to impress.
BillyKirk No. 155 Card Case
Bulky bifold wallets are out; slim and minimalist card cases are in. And it doesn’t get much better than BillyKirk’s handmade No. 155 Card Case, a lightweight and cleanly built carrier for a half dozen cards and a few bills. It’s made with full grain leather that will develop a wonderfully supple feel and beautiful patina over time.
WESN Allman Knife
True to its name, WESN’s Allman Knife has been designed to fit the needs of every dude. It offers a near-perfect balance of size, weight, and utility, and is available in a wide range of colors and handle materials. Pair that with a Sandvik s35vn blade for long-lasting edge retention, and you get a knife that’s as functional as it is good looking.
