Ken Scott x Gucci Letter Printed Zipper Jacket
The key to perfecting the sporty style look is to go retro. As shown by Gucci teaming up with American designer Ken Scott in the Ken Scott x Gucci capsule collection. The famous GG logo is hidden in the KS abbreviation prit to upgrade the sports jacket.
The always popular Prada Linea Rossa line has been a highlight of Muccia Prada for years. With a retro-futurism feel to it, it keeps the technological sense of the line between nostalgia and avant-garde.

Watches
G-Shock’s Full Metal 5000 and G-Lidle series sports watches
For many watch collectors who will shed fortunes for a Patek or Rolex, G-Shock gets a spot in their collections for new updates to two designs in particular: the original square-face DW-5000C and the octagonal DW-5600C. Once outliers, they’re now icons and the template from which the three here derive their unmistakable DNA.

Cartier Tank Asymetrique
This intriguingly shaped watch marked a dramatic break from Cartier’s usual milieu. With a dial tilted 30 degree to the right, the Asymetrique also did away with the Roman numerals, using instead Arabic numerals and interspersing even digits with baton indexes. The new Tank Asymetrique sports elongated numerals and sword-shaped blue steel hands on a silver champagne dial.
