John F. Kennedy is still widely seen as the most stylish president the United States has ever had.

He made tailored suits, slim ties, loafers and aviator sunglasses look natural rather than overly formal. Whether he was stepping off Air Force One or spending a weekend sailing in Hyannis Port, everything seemed simple, relaxed and confident. More than 60 years later, his wardrobe is still used as a reference for timeless men’s style.

He also had a famous appreciation for Cuban ci**rs. The night before signing the 1962 trade embargo against Cuba, Kennedy reportedly asked his press secretary, Pierre Salinger, to source 1,200 of his favourite Petit Upmann ci**rs. Once they had been delivered to his desk the next morning, Kennedy signed the embargo, making it illegal to import Cuban goods into the United States. Whether you’re into ci**rs or not, it’s one of those stories that perfectly captures his personality and has become a lasting piece of presidential folklore.

A look through Oakley Founder James Jannard’s brutalist mansion

Most people know James Jannard for building Oakley into one of the biggest eyewear brands in the world. After selling the company, he spent years creating something far more personal: a brutalist home carved into a Beverly Hills hillside.

Built from concrete, steel, and glass, the 18,000 square foot house feels more like a private fortress than a traditional mansion. Retractable walls open to sweeping views across Los Angeles, while details like riveted metal panels and industrial finishes reflect Jannard’s love of bold design.

The property has now changed hands in one of Beverly Hills’ biggest recent sales, proving that homes with a strong point of view still attract serious buyers.

IWC released the Ingenieur Automatic 35 Pool this week, a new dial colour for the 35mm Ingenieur that the brand is calling aquatic, and the name does most of the explaining.

The dial is a light blue-green, somewhere between turquoise and the shade of a well-lit swimming pool on a clear day, and it is the most visually striking thing IWC has done with the Ingenieur since they brought the Gérald Genta design back in 2023.

The Patek Philippe Nautilus has become one of the most famous luxury watches in the world.

Designed by Gérald Genta and released in 1976, its shape was inspired by a ship’s porthole, giving it a look that was very different for the time.

The steel case, simple dial and integrated bracelet made it feel sporty while still carrying the quality Patek Philippe was known for.

Nearly 50 years later, the Nautilus remains one of the most wanted watches ever made, worn by collectors, athletes and some of the world’s best known figures.
