Like Brendan Fraser’s career, the Polaroid camera, and even Crystal Pepsi, sometimes a renaissance of a once-beloved product can cause a lot of excitement in the market. I have a suspicion the same will be said of DOXA’s new SUB 250T GMT, which will be debuting at Watches and Wonders this year.

With its deconstructed dial, this collection has mixed technical precision and artistic license to create a set of watches that show that going a little avant-garde can have a huge pay-off. Right in time for Watches and Wonders, the Swiss house has released the final addition to their Geometry line, the Geometry Black.

Bonaire, the lesser-known gem of the ABC Islands off the coast of Venezuela, stands apart from its more familiar neighbors, Aruba and Curaçao, thanks to its less crowded feel and easygoing vibe. Known for its thriving coral reefs and protected marine environment, Bonaire is the ultimate destination for divers and snorkelers. Bonaire offers more than 85 dive sites along its 24-mile length and narrow width of just three to seven miles.

Let’s set the scene: It’s a cool, maybe even blustery day. You need something durable and dependable, yet casual, from your outerwear rotation. So maybe one day, maybe in a rush, you grab a puffer jacket heading out the door instead of a peacoat. Maybe the next day, you felt just fine wearing a fleece jacket instead of a denim trucker. Or you traded in your Red Wing Heritage boots for some USA-made hiking boots alongside your blue jeans and a henley.

Let’s face it: consumerism is shifting. With a big ol’ question mark for our economic future, many men are looking at shopping in a new way.

2025 is shaping up to be an oddball year for entertainment. With the industry still recovering from the lengthy 2023 strikes, and Los Angeles reeling after horrific January fires, studios are gonna be doubling down on sure things this year. That means plenty of sequels, reboots, remakes, adaptations, spinoffs, and revivals.

I was never a fan of the quirky police procedural. Whether it was New England small-town crime solving in Murder She Wrote or bodies being reassembled in Bones, the murder-a-week formula always seemed too paint-by-numbers for me. Crime happens near our protagonist, hijinks ensue, and then the crime gets solved.

It’s hard to deny the cultural phenomenon that The White Lotus has become. With its mix of well-crafted plots, all-star casting, and an undertone of dark humor—all against the backdrop of an exotic location—it’s a formula that creator, writer, and director Mike White has perfected over three seasons in four years.
