What’s this then?
Hublot’s Big Bang Unico Chrono Bi-Retrograde UEFA EURO 2016. No red cards here.
What does it go with?
Wait – don’t go! Don’t quit your browser and unsubscribe from all further T+T correspondence! Hear us out. First up, we get it: not all of you are in the market for a couture jumpsuit. But don’t shoot the messenger. Consider this a public service announcement to make you aware that overalls have been popping up all over the menswear runways, from Kenzo to Fendi to Alexander Wang. FYI this set is Valentino – and if you were at all tempted to try it, we say do it with a Big Bang on your arm. A ballsy stance, for sure. Your call.
What’s this then?
The mighty Seiko Prospex Marinemaster GPS Solar Dual-Time.
What does it go with?
Designed to stand up to the harsh conditions of the open sea, this watch could have been paired with almost anything from the apparel section at Anaconda – but don’t be put off if you’re not that salty a dog.

Disregard that warning and you’re likely to end up burnt, exhausted and as well dressed as the red Wiggle. But a tiny splash of red at the wrist, peeping out from beneath head-to-toe black Givenchy? Now that’s hot.
