How To Get Chris Hemsworth's Style
How To Get Chris Hemsworth's Style

Chris Hemsworth has won over many a female fan since his 2007 screen debut as Kim Hyde in Home & Away.And breaking into the Hollywood actor pack, the boy from the bay proved just as victorious, landing a hulking role as Marvel’s Thor. But Hemsworth’s personal style got a re-wiring too; shifting from a floppy-haired beach bum to an official man about town.From Summer Bay to LA, the Aussie actor’s fashion has indeed changed. But with Brad Pitt looks and a Steve McQueen attitude, Chris Hemsworth style was – well, inevitable all along.

Breaking It Down – Chris Hemsworth Style

Until recently, Hemsworth was classically styled, all the way. I’m talking dark denim, a white tee and casual leather jacket – handsome and simple. But in recent outings, a new Hemsworth has emerged – one with a penchant for jewellery, earthy and organic tones and slouchier silhouettes.A fan of monochrome and tonal tailoring, the star still retains an old-school edge. You’ll never see him skinny jeans, for instance, and longline wouldn’t even enter his mind. But he does like to play around with things, inserting a light cotton tee under a suit jacket, leaving it nonchalantly untucked. Rule-breaking? Yes, but it works. Plus, does anyone tell Thor what to do?

Tee-ed Up Tailoring

Adding a bit of Summer Bay into his suiting, Hemsworth shows just how doable tees are with tailoring. For times when a button shirt (and tie) is all too much, a fine gauge, cotton tee in a fitted yet relaxed style adds some coolness to stuffier suit.The key lies in keeping the jacket sleek and well-fitted. And, as the actor shows, the trousers (over clean cut lace-ups) should retain their leanness. But with boots, rock out the black denim in a less tailored fit, for extra ruggedness. Then all you need is black, covert shades.

Monochrome Magic

Despite a penchant for tees, Hemsworth can boss-it when he wants to. Opting for a monochrome three-piece, the suit jacket, trousers and waistcoat tie in nicely in the same hue; be it maroon one day, and black the next.But the magic is in the subtleties. Going with the plushness of a velvet jacket, Hemsworth appreciates the textural attitude of the velour fabric, offsetting the softness with silk lapels that sprawl across the chest like wings.Other times, the velvet is more demure; as a waistcoat. The accessory safe-keeps a stick-thin tie, switch from matte black to paisley – forming the focal point of this red carpet outfit. Shiny shoes seal the deal.

Modern Americana

As Hemsworth’s fashion matured from the Sydney surfer, his style went nostalgic – back to vintage America. The decade of the original stylers (think Steve McQueen and James Dean), the Fifties served up some of the most classic looks for men – still relevant today.The centre-piece is the plain white tee, in short V-neck for a bit of openness. Then, denim is everything; sticking to raw, dark jeans for an American workwear vibe – paired with hard yakka boots or sockless tennis shoes for an modern edge.Elsewhere, Hemsworth channels the era’s bad boy with a slim fit moto leather jacket and straight-leg black denim over biker boots. Wayfarer sunnies complete the cruiser vibe. Oh, and don’t roll the jeans.

Organic Chic

The LA lifestyle – organic and expensive – has rubbed off on Hemsworth. Ramping up the natural, Hemsworth looks to earthy fabrics, like linen, seen in his untucked, unbuttoned shirt in a garden-y lilac shade. The leather necklace – with a gemstone pendant – brings more natural elements (animal hide and rocks) into his off-duty look.Other times, a typical black tee and jeans ensemble looses its rock-ish, as Hemsworth adopts more jewellery and trinkets – this time a piece of wood of a chain – matched with his bead-y bracelets slightly obscured by a heaving metallic watch.Both casual looks walk about in the actor’s new fave boots – grey suede. It’s all natural, of course.

Key Chris Hemsworth Fashion Items

Suit: Velvet dinner jacket (Gieves & Hawkes) and three-piece maroon suit with velvet dinner jacket (Dolce & Gabbana).Shirts: Tee (James Perse), linen button-up (A.P.C or Issey Miyake), and formal shirt (T.M. Lewin).Bottoms: Raw, dark jeans (J.Crew) and black straight-leg jeans (Fabric Brand & Co).Shoes: Leather lace-ups (Church’s or Grenson) and boots (Oliver Spencer).Accessories: Woven leather bracelet (Tod’s), neck chains (Mister) and watch (TAG Heuer). Shades (Ray ban and RetroSuperFuture)

‘Whelming’ Is The Egotistical New Hook Up Trend That Will Make You Want To Hurl
‘Whelming’ Is The Egotistical New Hook Up Trend That Will Make You Want To Hurl

Ever been on the receiving end of someone telling you they’re sorry they didn’t reply sooner but they have so many matches they can’t possibly keep up? Yes? You’ve been whelmed.

Relationships Australia says some 4.5 million Australians use dating apps, so the chances of accumulating multiple matches are high. Although, ‘whelmers’ will tell you it’s because they’re on a whole different level of good-looking-ness.

Whelmed is the latest addition to the dating-cabulary, and is a term first coined by SELF editor Patia Braithwaite. She came up with the term after she’d been contacted by three different matches, with a similar underlying message: “Whelming is what happens when my matches spontaneously lament about how overwhelmed they are by their other matches instead of, you know, flirting with me”, she explains.


She adds that she noticed it more on Bumble, an app that requires the woman to message their match first within 24-hours, or the match expires.

Patia wasn’t alone in being ‘whelmed’ however, as she put the feelers out to her friends, many of which said they’d fallen victim to the latest dating trend you’re probably guilty of. One such friend, Quinyetta, revealed one of her matches, whom she hoped to meet up with when she visited his city in the coming weeks went quiet, when asked why he responded with “I’m going on dates with a lot of women and…it’s really difficult to make sure that I’m talking to everybody that wants to talk to me. You wouldn’t understand.”

Patia admits she can’t be sure exactly why her matches responded in such a way. Her initial thoughts were along the lines of typical, misogynistic, egotistic male. But she adds that it could in some ways be the complete opposite and “that online daters really are stressed about all their potential choices.”

It’s highly possible, with apps such as Bumble that require the woman to message first, guys may actually find they get spoken to more when the onus is on the other party. It’s quite common for a guy to message a girl first on Tinder, for example, only to be left waiting for a response.

Patia doesn’t necessarily want or expect guys to stop saying they’re inundated with potential sheet-shufflers, she just thinks they should be aware of who they’re saying it to. “Being told that I’m one of many (trust me, I already know) doesn’t do much to engender warmth toward the person with whom I’ve just matched.”

“If anything, it makes me painfully aware of how deeply impersonal online dating can be.”

The World’s Most Punctual Airlines For 2020 Revealed 

You slam your suitcase, battle traffic, rush to check-in and… wait 45 minutes to be processed. Finally, you make your way to Departures where you spend two hours buying things you don’t need. Then, just as you reach peak boredom, the announcement comes – your flight has been delayed.Well isn’t that fantastic?While there’s nothing you can do to guarantee a timely flight, you can research which airlines (and routes) have a tendency for tardiness and avoid them like you do a budget airline’s shrimp cocktails. Enter: this year’s aviation punctuality reports, two of which have recently been released.The first of which was published by data analyst OAG, in the form of a soccer-like table – the Punctuality League 2020 – which features a winner for this year’s most punctual airline almost as unexpected as when Leicester won the Premier League in 2015.Here are OAG’s most punctual airlines for 2020 (based on data gathered throughout 2019).

Indonesian airline Garuda comes in at number one, with a 95% percentage of on-time flights – something most people who have ever travelled around Indonesia, or experienced the concept of ‘Bali time’ might raise an eyebrow at.As one commenter in Points Finder’s Instagram post of the table points out, “not so hard to be punctual when you don’t operate so many flights like the big guys.”Copa Airlines, Skymark Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, LATAM Airlines Group and Aeroflot came in next (in positions 2 through to 6, respectively), while All Nippon Airways, Jetstar Asia, Singapore Airlines and Thai Air Asia came in at positions 7 to 10 respectively.This came after Cirium, another aviation analyst, released its own findings a day earlier, naming its top three on-time global mainline airlines as Aeroflot (number 1, with 86.68% of flights on time), All Nippon Airways (number 2, with 86.26% flights on time) and Delta Air Lines (number 3, with 85.69% of flights on time).Cirium also named LATAM airlines the most on-time global network airline, with an on-time percentage of 86.67% and the most on-time low-cost carrier as StarFlyer, with an on-time percentage of 91.37%.The two analysts also released lists of the most on-time airports, for anyone weighing up which hub to go through.

  • Top Large Airport: Osaka Itami (88.03%)

How To Wear High-Top Sneakers For Almost Every Occasion
How To Wear High-Top Sneakers For Almost Every Occasion

High-top sneakers, once the footwear of choice for athletes, have come a long way since their invention in the 1890s. Beloved by everyone from jocks to counter-culture anarchists, the high-top is the epitome of classic cool. Whether you’re a black-clad Indie rocker or you’ve got a pair of Chuck Taylors as your go-to weekend shoe – this sneaker is renowned for its versatility.

It’s also thanks to their iconic status that the high-top can be worn with virtually any ensemble. Here, we’re breaking down the best way to style them, regardless of what the occasion might be.

How To Wear High-Tops With Jeans

High-tops with jeans is perhaps one of the most classic casual ensembles in the book. Cool without being pretentious, it’s a foolproof option for coffee or a weekend wander. Choose a classic high-top style like a black or white Chuck Taylor and pair them with similarly timeless denim. In this case, you can’t go past a pair of blue wash Levi 501s. Top it all off with a plain, crew-neck tee-shirt in white or black.

If you’re after something slightly more inventive than a plain tee, jeans with a denim shirt make for a classic pairing – particularly when offset by white or boldly coloured high-tops. Think about wearing contrasting jeans and shirt (black and indigo) and styling them with a contrasting shoe.

Given the oftentimes slim design of high-top sneakers, it’s best to offset them with slightly looser fitting denim. Opt for slim or boot-cut styles that ensure your outfit doesn’t appear top-heavy and style by cuffing at the ankle. Overly skinny jeans evoke a bygone era of early 00s boy bands – don’t go there.

How To Wear High-Tops With Chinos

Chinos are often lumped in as part of the smart casual dress code, but they hold their own as streetwear too. When paired with high-tops, it makes for a cool, slightly norm-core look and ups the ante on your standard jeans and tee combo.

In terms of styling, aim for the smarter end of urban, opting for beige or navy chinos paired with a polo shirt or a striped Oxford. Leave the shirt untucked and cuff the chinos to show off your high-tops. This is the perfect outfit for brunch or indeed any other low-key weekend activities.

When it comes to fit, the same rules that apply for jeans apply here. Think about opting for a slim or classic fit versus a super-skinny style. It will look better and also help you convey that classic-yet-street aesthetic.

How To Wear High-Tops With Shorts

You’d be forgiven for thinking I’m mad for even mentioning high-tops and shorts in the same sentence. And, while not the easiest look to execute, when styled well this combination can look sensational.

The key thing is to play with proportion. Because high-tops generally fit close to the foot, they look best when contrasted with baggy shorts and voluminous shirts and tees. Harking back to a 90s skater aesthetic, this kind of ensemble can be freshened up by choosing neutral colours and high-quality fabrics.

Look at stockists such as Venroy and Bassike for versatile, easy to pair options that will work seamlessly with classic high-tops from the likes of Converse and Springcourt.

How To Wear High-Tops Formally

Despite common belief, high-tops are not only for casual ensembles. Since the early 00s, designers have been producing high-end options that work just as well with a pair of jeans as they do with the tuxedo. The trick lies in finding the right pair for your occasion.

For very formal events (i.e. black tie), a high-top sneaker can be the perfect way to experiment with high-low dressing. Go for a well-tailored tuxedo and cropped trousers (there’s nothing worse than trousers bunching around your ankles because they’re caught on the lip of your shoes). Pair this with premium high-tops in darker shades from the likes of Christian Louboutin or Giuseppe Zanotti. Play with textures and finishing details like studs or even sparkles for some added panache.

For more relaxed occasions (think cocktail parties), you can afford to go even bolder with your high-top style. Pairing black jeans with a blazer and tee-shirt looks great with a pair of statement, patterned high-tops from somewhere like Dior Homme.

How To Wear High-Tops With Activewear

It’s easy to forget that high-tops were originally designed as a basketball shoe. Today, they make for the perfect accompaniment for a more contemporary take on sportswear – particularly when worn as part of an athleisure ensemble.

Ideal for relaxed weekend strolls (but certainly not for any heavy-duty exercise), high-tops look sensational paired with a slim pair of tracksuit pants, black tee, and quilted gilet. Opt for either a chunky retro pair of kicks (think Nike Airforce Ones) or a more classic canvas style to complete the look.

High-tops and work out shorts also make for a strong, if slightly bolder look. Keep your ensemble monochrome, matching the shorts with a grey tee and a pair of black canvas high-tops for maximum impact.

Justin Bieber’s Pants May Be Your Most Important Acquisition This Summer
Justin Bieber’s Pants May Be Your Most Important Acquisition This Summer

“Real men wear pink.” It’s a phrase we’ve heard throughout the years, referring to the fact that only guys truly brave enough will wear the colour that has stereotypically been linked to girls. With gender roles being crushed left right and centre these days – take Timothée Chamalet’s all-pink suit – men should be able to wear pink whenever and however they like.Justin Bieber is one such celebrity who regularly says ‘up yours’ to traditional fashion and style rules, often being spotted in head-turning outfits or creating a stir with his footwear choices. This time, he’s opted to wear pink, and not just a small accessory to give a hint of colour, but full pink trousers, and we think you should consider getting yourself a pair too.Stepping out at the premiere of new YouTube Originals show Justin Bieber: Seasons, the Canadian singer was papped on the red carpet rocking a pair of pink pants from Southern Californian fashion label Noon Goons. Bieber’s pink pair isn’t available through the company’s website right now, but you can pick up an equally baggy pair for US$229. Biebs teams his pink pantaloons with a white sweater and a pair of off-white Vans sneakers – he’s clearly read our ‘How To Wear Pink’ style guide, as he’s left the pink pants as the outfit’s standout piece, and kept the rest of it to a minimum. It’s certainly a more casual look compared to his wife Hayley Bieber’s sparkly black dress.Seasons, Justin’s YouTube docu-series, follows the pop star as he makes his return to music since the release of his fourth studio album Purpose right up to the release of his upcoming fifth album, Changes.

New App Promises To Help Australia’s Most Insufferable Singles Find Love
New App Promises To Help Australia’s Most Insufferable Singles Find Love

Is there anything worse than swiping the guy or gal of your dreams, flirting your way to a date and then discovering they are more insufferable than a bitcoin millionaire?When it comes to app-based dating, Tinder is (usually) the go-to choice due to its ability to allow us to swipe through a whole horde of suitors with ease. Of course, once matches are made the tricky part of actually talking to one another can pose some obstacles, and with Tinder shifting to more of a relationship culture than a “DTF?” culture, finding someone more interested in casual dating has in some ways been made harder.But for Australians in Sydney and Melbourne, the search for the love of your life will be made that little bit easier with the launch of new dating app, The League. Already available in the majority of US cities, along with London, Paris and a few in Canada, The League is now launching in Sydney and Melbourne, with the aim of coupling up people who “share the same drive” or finding you a partner who “looks good in black-and-white photos, is courteous enough to use proper punctuation, and flexible enough to fit into your way-too-restrictive schedule.”In other words: bankers, lawyers and ‘motivational’ influencers.

That’s right, The League is an app targeted at contestants of The Apprentice and every other pompous banker or real-estate agent you’ve ever bumped into at Sydney’s Ryan’s Bar, or at Bondi Wholefoods. For this type of person, speaking to a potential partner without name-dropping, boasting or slicking back their hair is nigh-on impossible, so The League promises to remove the bad first impressions bae-to-be can get, by putting you behind a virtual barrier.https://www.instagram.com/p/B7ELQZDg4bb/When you create your profile, you can upload photos of yourself, add education and job info and sync your social media accounts. It’s clear The League is aimed primarily at the professionals because you’re given the option to sync your LinkedIn information.“What’s LinkedIn?” we hear Tinder users asking.Once you’ve added that last picture of yourself sporting a golden tan and sipping on a daiquiri in Honolulu, you’re put on a waitlist for your profile to be verified and uploaded to The League’s servers. Of course, being a wealthy city worker, you can pay to have your profile processed in a much quicker time.

In fact, paying for ‘member’ status unlocks a wealth of added features which, in theory, increases your chances of a match. So long as you’re happy to pay $97.99, $58 or $47/month for 1, 3 or 6-month membership, respectively.Membership also gives you priority entry to The League Live, a feature in which you participate in three 2-minute video dates – a prime time to use the introductory speech you’ve been saving for The Apprentice. Fortunately, The League does provide an optional ice-breaker question, to help steer you onto the right path and avoid questions such as “So how many times have you been to St. Barths?”

Don’t automatically assume your profile will be accepted, though, as The League can easily reject it if you haven’t filled out enough information about yourself or if your photos include too many animals and not enough actual friends. It’s highly selective, but then if you are the chosen one, you can be safe in the knowledge you’ll only be able to meet other pretentious douchebags discerning individuals as well.

How Technology Will Change Your Next Tattoo, According To The Experts
How Technology Will Change Your Next Tattoo, According To The Experts

The art of tattooing can be traced back to 3017 BC, although the actual term tattoo didn’t find its way into everyday vocabulary until the 18th century. Since then, tattooing practices have changed, from puncturing the skin using a mallet and a piercing implement, to the electric guns found in parlours around the world today.

The popularity of tattoos increases year after year. A 2016 US poll found that 29 percent of American people had a tattoo, an eight percent rise on the year before, while around 14.5 percent of Australians have some form of ink on their body. Take a walk down your local high street and you’re highly likely to spot body art in every direction, from mandalas, flowers and tribal designs to full sleeves depicting a wide range of images.

With tattoos becoming more popular than ever, customers are wanting new and unique ways to stand out from the congested pack. The artists, therefore, need to change not only their equipment but the associated tools they use too. We’ve spoken to a few Sydney-based artists to find out how they’ve noticed technologies change in their careers, how they assist them and what they believe the future holds for tattoos.

John Balestri works at Ink Arcade in Cronulla and his been tattooing for the past 10 years. In that time he’s seen various technologies come and go, with only the ones that aid both himself and other artists remain. When you enter a parlour today, there’s a very good chance your artist will have ideas sketched out on an iPad, but iPads haven’t been around forever.

John begins by telling us how things used to be way back when: “When I first started tattooing 10 years ago it was all lightboxes, tracing paper, scanning, and printing”

“Then, we started using Photoshop to pull our ideas together. Now, we are using iPads with the Apple Pencil and a bunch of apps to aid us. Apps that are popular amongst tattoo artists are Procreate and Adobe Draw.”

Maxime Etienne, an artist relatively new to the tattoo scene, having only been inking people for around three years, but now with his own studio in Bondi, echoes John’s statements. He tells us, “using an iPad makes it much easier to make changes to a client’s design. Before the iPad, we would have the sketch our ideas on paper, and if the client didn’t like it, we’d have to start from scratch.”

Both artists use apps such as Procreate – which has become the go-to choice for many artists – to sketch out their ideas. John adds, “Procreate gives us a tool to alter a design, resize and even virtually place the tattoo idea on the client before we start.”

“This helps us as the artist to plan what we are doing. It also helps the client to see their ideas come to life using augmented reality…but also gives them peace of mind.”

Augmented reality is one such technology that has enormous potential to change the tattoo industry. As John says, it allows artists to show the client how their design will look on their body before a drop of ink has touched it – handy, when a tattoo is likely going to be on your body for life.

It’s not just the apps that allow the designs to come to life that has affected the way artists work, but the ones that allow them to show off their creations to the world. Max says, “I wouldn’t be where I am without Instagram.”

A post shared by Maxime Etienne (@maxe_brother) on

The French-born artist has forged a career thanks to the ever-popular photo-sharing app, using it as a platform to illustrate the kind of designs he creates. He says that “before Instagram, you would usually walk into your local shop, go through their flash designs and go with it.”

“Instagram allows people to search for an artist that tattoos in a style they truly want, rather than whatever their local studio provides.”

It’s not just potential clients that Max uses Instagram to reach out to, but he uses it as a way to meet other artists from around the world, as well as find inspiration from them that he can put into his work. When we went to catch up him, Max had Auckland-based artist Tritoan Ly in his studio – the two have become close friends thanks to Instagram.

For Max, it’s also the tools he uses to get the ink onto the body that he has seen change in his career. He tells us there are two types of tattoo gun, coil or rotary. Coil guns give out the fear-inducing sound you’ve no doubt all heard, rotary machines are much quieter, Max uses the latter.

“With the gun I use, I can easily swap out cartridges to give me different types of needle. Before, if you wanted different sizes, you’d have to have separate machines.” He adds that tattooing doesn’t have to be consigned to a dedicated studio anymore, either. “I can attach a battery pack to my gun, and take a portable Bluetooth stencil machine out onto the street and tattoo people on the go.”

Technology then clearly has the power to change the entire process of tattooing. From the design stage all the way through to the inevitable social media post, its uses are even more in-depth than even this writer assumed. With regards to the future? John summarises,

“As a tattooist we get commissioned by clients to create a work of art that will be on them forever. Any tech that can help us to improve this process is always welcome.”

A Swiss Watch That's Perfectly Suited To The Australian Lifestyle
A Swiss Watch That's Perfectly Suited To The Australian Lifestyle

This article has been published in partnership with TAG Heuer

Steeped in rich diving heritage, the TAG Heuer Aquaracer draws its modern day DNA from the Heuer 2000 series conceived back in 1982 – a proven diving piece presented in various styles and movements that garnered mass appeal beyond just the seas.

Over time the watch grew in popularity thanks to its most defining quality: reinvention. With every new generation of the Aquaracer model the watchmaker injected compelling new features and details whilst maintaining its robust diving reputation. It was a standard that was pioneered back in 1895 when TAG Heuer patented one of the first water resistant cases for pocket watches.

Sporty, luxurious and reliable, today’s Aquaracer sits as a sought-after model alongside other distinguished names in the TAG Heuer family like the Carrera and Monaco.

Its resilience through decades of evolving watch tastes is testament to its winning design which still retains its submersible credentials till this day.

SPECIFICATIONS

CASE
Polished steel case – 41 mm

MOVEMENT
Swiss made Calibre 5 Automatic

POWER RESERVE
38 hours

WATERPROOFNESS
Water Resistant To 300 metres

BRACELET
Fine brushed polished steel, fabric or rubber

PRICE
FROM RRP AUD $3,100.00

A Classic Sports Design

Purveyors of the aquatic world will naturally gravitate towards the genuine sporty aesthetic of the Aquaracer. The Calibre 5 300m version is the perfect example of a modern watch that seamlessly transitions between the active and formal duties.

This version of the watch boasts a three-pointer design with the fundamental hours, minutes and seconds hands wearing green and blue luminescent markers designed to maximise legibility both in and out of the water anytime of the day.

Complementing this feature is a date window at the 3 o’clock mark which has its own magnified window to ensure that a short glimpse is all it takes to tell the date.

These appointments are presented alongside a bold striped dial and ceramic bezel which come in an array of styles.

The case itself is a 41mm fine-brushed polished steel unit paired with a durable black rubber strap to ensure both quality and performance.

Internal movement of this piece is looked after by TAG Heuer’s Swiss made Calibre 5 automatic movement with a 38 hour power reserve.

A double security clasp and the aforementioned ceramic bezel ensures that wearers will be able to dive to greater depths without losing track under the effects of water pressure.

Suitable For The Aussie Sporting Spirit

Whilst diving may be the blueprint for the Aquaracer, it’s the extensive range and styles which have captured the attention of a wider audience.

There are over 30 variations of the 3-hand model and an additional 18 variations of the chronograph version. Surfing, snowboarding, diving, tennis, beers with your clients. The TAG Heuer Aquaracer is the most versatile watch for the Australian male.

Wearers also have the option to fit a stopwatch mechanism to the timepiece if they’re after precise timekeeping during the most competitive water sports.

From lightweight sandblasted titanium in carbide black to polished steel and yellow gold, the Aquaracer casing forms the base for every individual piece to build off.

Whilst the Calibre 5 300m features a 41mm steel case, the range also extends into 40.5mm and 43mm sizes to appeal to different sized wrists.

Dials meanwhile come in everything from blue to black to sandblasted anthracite to sunray effect and silver opalin.

Even the nylon, rubber and steel straps receive countless aesthetic options to ensure every individual style is catered to.

Who’s Wearing The TAG Heuer Aquaracer

TAG Heuer’s diverse portfolio of ambassadors include some of the world’s biggest celebrities such as Kai Lenny, Daniel Ricciardo, Dan Carter, Anthony Minichiello and countless more awesome souls.

TAG Heuer choose their ambassadors based on their pioneering spirit and winning ways. More importantly, they resonate characteristics of not cracking under the pressure – TAG Heuer’s latest campaign message.

Final Thoughts On The TAG Heuer Aquaracer

There are Swiss watches that are segregated into formal, casual and sporting categories and then there’s the Aquaracer. The watch intuitively takes the qualities from all three and merges it into the perfect all-rounder watch both in its looks and versatility.

Throw on a rubber strap and it’s ready to join you on the gnarliest surf. When it comes time for the next big client meeting, pair the steel band model with a smart shirt and you’re ready to close deals.

There’s a reason why the Aquaracer is one of our favourite watches and we’re not alone.
