Timex and Todd Snyder’s Hit Streak Continues With a Marlin on Stainless Steel Mesh

Timex and Todd Snyder’s Hit Streak Continues With a Marlin on Stainless Steel Mesh

Published by Jenni Sidey

Wanting to score a head-turning watch on a budget is normally a fool’s errand, or at the very least a contradiction. Watches remain one of the few corners of menswear where exclusivity still carries real weight. Every once in a while, Timex reminds everyone that good taste doesn’t have to cost four figures. The brand has made a habit of handing the keys to Todd Snyder, who loves to dig through the archives to resurface the hits. Nearly every collaboration lands somewhere between “instant classic” and “dang that sold out quick.” And folks, the Marlin Mesh continues that streak. Todd Snyder x Timex Marlin Mesh Watch Let’s start with the face. The Marlin’s 38mm case is about as versatile as watching sizing gets. It’s not-too-hot-not-too-cold and won’t overwhelm a wrist or disappear into one either. A vintage-style dome acrylic crystal gives the dial warmth, while the polished stainless steel case keeps it all looking crisp and not overly nostalgic. But if you came for the vintage-inspired Marlin face and case, you’ll stay for the stainless-steel …

The New Black Panther Wore a Very Fitting Cartier

The New Black Panther Wore a Very Fitting Cartier

Published by Jenni Sidey

This past weekend, actor David Jonsson had to pick out which watch he’d wear for what would almost certainly be one of the most important moments of his life. Jonsson was in town for the annual San Diego Comic-Con, where on Saturday evening at Marvel’s marquee Hall H panel he was announced as their newest marquee hero: the next Black Panther. For a moment like that, there’s only one watch an actor who’s already established himself as a friend of the Cartier house could go with: a classic Cartier Panthère. Jonsson’s reveal was a showcase for banger, Black Panther-related watches. Director Ryan Coogler actually wore Audemars Piguet’s watch made in collaboration with Marvel that features a miniature and painstakingly made sculpture of Wakanda’s hero. Considering that on-the-nose choice, Jonsson’s Cartier was downright subtle. After all, to non-watchheads this was just another pretty Cartier. It’s only once you discover the name of the watch that you can piece together the significance and satisfying homonyms at play. After actor Chadwick Boseman’s tragic passing in 2020, one of …

The Only Thing Better Than a Sharp Suit Is a Sharp Suit on Sale

The Only Thing Better Than a Sharp Suit Is a Sharp Suit on Sale

Published by Jenni Sidey

There are plenty of reasons to get a suit: weddings, dinners, for the love of the game, but chief among them is getting one on sale. It just so happens that there are only a few times a year when a window opens and you can reasonably expect to find a (good) suit on sale. We are, however, in one of those windows, making this the perfect time to round up some of our favorite suits currently on sale. We’re not talking funky seasonal fare, either. These are classics, all built for warmer months (although some are primed to take on a bit of chill in the air) and all thoroughly on sale. Pinstripes, herringbones, classic navy, and even a tux can be had at a fraction of the original price. And when there’s this much meat left on the wedding season bone, no excuse for a new suit is needed. But while all these are built to last—and styled to do the same— these deals are most certainly not. We’d advise taking a swing …

The Best Sneakers From the WNBA All-Star Game 2026

The Best Sneakers From the WNBA All-Star Game 2026

Published by Jenni Sidey

Saturday’s WNBA All-Star Game in Chicago was about as solidly entertaining as you could hope for from a midseason exhibition. Jonquel Jones earned MVP honors after nearly notching a triple-double, Caitlin Clark poured in five threes, and Team Spoon defeated Team Coop 129-122. It was an especially great game from a kicks perspective, however. With more excellent signature models in the W than ever these days, the court was littered with never-before-seen player exclusives, hot new collaborations, and brash, expressive colorways. Here are five of the best sneakers we spotted at the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game. Caitlin Clark’s Nike Caitlin 1 “All-Star” Thus far, we’ve only seen Caitlin Clark’s debut Swoosh signatures—which officially hit stores in October—in single-toned makeups. But for the ASG, the Indiana Fever megastar premiered the low-slung silhouette in a punchy sunrise gradient that fades from an orangey yellow to fuschia to royal blue along the soles. “I think these will be a favorite,” the 24-year-old said on Instagram. Seems like a strong bet. Caitlin Clark in the Nike Caitlin 1 “All-Star” …

Four High-End Watches Serious Collectors Are Snapping Up for Summer

Four High-End Watches Serious Collectors Are Snapping Up for Summer

Published by Jenni Sidey

Welcome to Watch Guy Watches, GQ’s monthly curation of high-end timepieces for the true watch nerds among us. This July, Richard Mille partners with an Italian bike company, Hublot brings on the sapphire vibes, and both Vacheron and IWC offer new, shrunken versions of their flagship luxury sports watches. Despite being up to our wrists in collaboration watches between Breitling and Aston Martin, Omega and Swatch, and a Hamilton made for Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, the truly original still manage to burst through the clutter. Richard Mille’s new RM 64-01 Tourbillon Colnago clears this bar easily. This is not the type of watch I typically fawn over. Million-dollar “hyperwatches” are more interesting as abstract science experiments/art projects than as actual timekeepers. Colnago is an Italian bicycle manufacturer, and I don’t think I’ve ridden a bike in years. The watch’s appeal comes down to its sunny visuals: the blue-white colorway recalls a perfect day at sea with puffs of clouds in the distance. Of course, this being Richard Mille, the movement is radically reworked to be …

‘The Odyssey’ Can’t Be Screened in 70mm IMAX Without Huge, Ancient Projectors. Here’s What It Takes to Keep Them Running

‘The Odyssey’ Can’t Be Screened in 70mm IMAX Without Huge, Ancient Projectors. Here’s What It Takes to Keep Them Running

Published by Jenni Sidey

It’s becoming easier, lately, to keep those procedures active, thanks to Nolan films like Oppenheimer and The Odyssey—currently sold out at IMAX Melbourne all the way to Sept. 6—but also a string of recent IMAX 70mm releases capitalizing on audience interest. Dune Part Two, Sinners, One Battle After Another, and Project Hail Mary have all played to packed crowds itching for IMAX 70mm even when the movie itself was shot digitally (the less said about Joker: Follie à Deux the better). Dune Part Three, which features footage shot on IMAX film cameras, will no doubt continue the trend late this year. And the audiences aren’t just boomers nostalgic for the days of film, either. “Some people have never seen film projected,” Ford says, noting that many young movie fans grew up after film projection had died out in the early-‘10s. “I suppose it’s curiosity to see what it’s like.” Ford even fields complaints from some of those patrons, particularly about the flicker produced by the shutter. But the complaints are few and far between. “There’s …

‘House of the Dragon’ Just Took One of Its Best Characters Off the Board

‘House of the Dragon’ Just Took One of Its Best Characters Off the Board

Published by Jenni Sidey

Major spoilers for House of the Dragon season three, episode 6 below. You’ve been warned. Ser Criston Cole’s watch has ended. Within the first ten minutes or so of this week’s House of the Dragon, the most polarizing knight in Westeros has joined countless others as the latest casualty in a familial squabble turned civil war. Doom has followed Cole (Fabien Frankel) for the better part of a season and a half. Ever since the horrific battle of Rook’s Rest in season two, Cole’s understood that he’s but an ant under the foot of a giant. Warfare with sword and shield was one thing, but Cole’s encounter with a walking, flying, fire-breathing beast capable of reducing people and buildings to ash in the blink of an eye opened his eyes up to the void, and he’s lingered there ever since, staring right into it. That’s a deep, dark, and overall pretty nihilistic arc for a character, let alone someone like Cole. Both understandably and perhaps a bit unfairly, Cole’s come under fire from fans of …

Marvel Studios Announces Ryan Gosling as Ghost Rider, David Jonsson as Black Panther and More At San Diego Comic-Con 2026 Hall H Panel

Published by Jenni Sidey

A Ryan Gosling Ghost Rider movie and the first Black Panther 3 cast announcements were among Marvel Studios’ big new-project reveals at San Diego Comic Con’s famed Hall H. Although there wasn’t much news on the X-Men front, this weekend’s presentation by Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige did contain a few slivers of insight as to where the MCU is headed in the aftermath of Avengers: Doomsday (whose latest trailer dropped this week in the swirling wake of The Odyssey, to somewhat muted reception online) and 2027’s Avengers: Secret Wars. In case you weren’t refreshing your social media feeds, we’ve got the breakdown on all three biggest bits of news out of the panel. A Fresh Ghost Rider Project Revs Up Jesse Grant/Getty Images After many rumors and much speculation, Feige announced that the character of Ghost Rider will return to the MCU, this time played by Ryan Gosling. The film, helmed by Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy, will release in 2028. A writer has yet to be announced. This marks a reunion …

John Mayer Just Wore a Strong Contender for Watch of the Year

John Mayer Just Wore a Strong Contender for Watch of the Year

Published by Jenni Sidey

There is maybe no watch collector more influential than John Mayer. His Talking Watches got a whole generation hooked on timepieces and everyone he meets ends up with the bug. “I think it’s the same story for most male singer-songwriters,” Ed Sheeran told GQ when asked how he got his start in collecting. “They basically get to know John Mayer.” So it’s always important to keep up with what’s on the musician’s wrist, especially when it’s as unexpected—at least to casual observers—as it was this week. Because despite oodles of rare vintage Rolexes, piles of world-class AP.s, and a rotation without a single dud in it, Mayer chose a modern tool watch to wear while being named The Hollywood Reporter’s Philanthropist of the Year. The piece is strongly in contention for Watch of the Year: Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time. Released during Watches and Wonders in Geneva this past April, it’s part of a collection of four pieces, each of which features a different dial color representing a compass’s cardinal direction: brown for south, white …
