Victorinox is celebrating 125 years of business in 2009. This of course calls for some special releases to celebrating such an achievement. They have produced two chronographs for their anniversary. The first is the Jubilee Edition shown above which will be available to the masses in normal quantities. A second “Limited Edition” model with a red face will be available in 125 pieces. I happen to really dig the look of the “Jubilee Edition” so you’ll need to hit the jump to see the other. Both are housed in a 44mm casing and are water resistant down to 100 meters. Classic looks from Victorinox. (via timezone)

The “Louis Vuitton Don” bangs it out again with his favorite of fashion houses. The Kanye West for Louis Vuitton sneakers have been anticipated for some time and, of course, made their premiere during Vuitton’s Men’s Show last week in Paris.

These lightboxes would be pretty low on anyone’s need to buy list, but they’re a great look for any apartment. They’re made from galvanised steel and have a plastic front where the sign is. They can also be wall mounted, so you can put the welcome sign above your door if you feel like it. Despite the picture, they do come separately and they’re available from Pedlars.

Burberry’s Spring 2009 collection are starting to filter into their online store and as usual, their coats are their strongest feature. This single breasted coat has a sateen finish which gives it a sheen and doesn’t absorb rain. The colour is officially called ‘pewter’ but we’d just call it grey. As you’d expect for a Burberry trench, the price is a little steep, but they’re definitely worth the money. Get it from Burberry’s site.

Thomas Engel Hart has come back strong with his A/W 09 collection. Shedding the Ziggy Stardust influences of his SS09 range, the looks have a definite workwear slant, with technical jackets, leather bomber jackets and vests getting a look in. The suits included were of the boxy cut that’s becoming popular as an answer to the skinny cut. Take a look at the rest of the collection after the jump.

The campaign may be dated at this point, but we offer the video as background to the making of the campaign.
