When it comes to watch advice, what everyone wants to know is, “what’s a good investment?” To which the stock response goes, “There’s no such thing, unless you’ve scored on the waiting list for a stainless-steel Patek that’ll never leave its polythene bag. Buy with your heart not your head, dummy.”

We list our expert pick of the best watches for less than £10,000, including pedigree models from Panerai, Cartier, Jaeger-LeCoultre and IWC Schaffhausen

One look out of the window confirms it: knitwear season is here. We’ve had false starts and surprise heatwaves. We’ve done the dreaded scan for moth holes, assessing the victims that didn’t make it through the year (RIP to pretty much all cashmere). And we’ve tried our best to prepare for the cold and grey months ahead as the temperature finally drops.

From Argyles to Fair Isles, the most exciting new styles hearken back to menswear’s past. Read more in The Journal

It is something of a paradox – or at least, a truth that reveals a great deal about watch[ ](https://www.mrporter.com/mens/luxury-watches)collecting – that horological enthusiasts are obsessed by two apparently mutually exclusive ideals. We are fixated on famous designs, idolising the case shapes that have stood the test of time, such as the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak or TAG Heuer Carrera. But at the same time, and especially once you have spent much time pursuing this hobby, you realise that collectors crave something individual, or at least, rare enough that you are vanishingly unlikely to ever see another in the wild.


There is a slim overlap between these two goals: an exclusive, perhaps customised, version of a hero design. And we at MR PORTER are delighted to unveil a stunning selection of rare examples. None of these watches will ever exist in quantities surpassing a couple of dozen, and most are so scarce they won’t even reach double digits.

Come winter, it’s easy to get sucked into a trouser rotation that’s based heavily on jeans. We get it, there’s a reason they’re so popular – they’re weighty, warm, easy to dress up or down and simple to mindlessly slip on during those cold, dark mornings. But take a moment to assess your options and you will discover an opportunity to open up your winter wardrobe to new shapes, styles and sartorial directions. So, whatever you have planned in the coming months, let us dress you a little more interestingly this season.

Don’t limit your winter looks to denim – discover our edit of the perfect seasonal trousers, including wide-leg, corduroy and more. Read in The Journal

“It took me a long time to figure out a way to get out here,” says Mr Avi Brosh, pouring coffee in the airy kitchen of his Malibu home on a particularly idyllic November afternoon. His journey to one of Los Angeles’ most rarefied neighbourhoods – and his position as one of the fastest-rising hoteliers in the US – has been, by any standard, quite remarkable.

In winter, there is a feeling that we must protect ourselves above all else. We wear thick layers where preservation takes precedence over personality. Our style choices become muffled – in cumbersome wool sweaters and itchy scarves that have been left, stricken, in drawers. But that feeling doesn’t need to be reality – especially when The Elder Statesman exists.

The holiday collection from the LA luxury brand will see you through winter – and through the seasons to come. Read more in The Journal

Collecting watches is laced with friendly competition. Indeed, collecting anything can induce a degree of one-upmanship over time, as you seek out rare treasures. The thought of owning a watch very few others will ever wear has become a mainstay of modern watch fandom. Limited editions are a chance for collectors to reference a personal area of interest, support a particular cause, or simply delight in adding a lesser-known model to their watch box. Often, they’re the fruit of design collaborations, and often represent a chance for brands to experiment with bolder looks, as something distinctly separate from the “core” design. We’ve rounded up five of the best limited-edition watches currently available at MR PORTER.

We pick five limited-edition pieces from MR PORTER’s luxury watch offering, including models from Jacob & Co., H. Moser & Cie., IWC Schaffhausen, Jaeger-LeCoultre and more

The most wonderful time of the year has (finally) arrived. And while the gift giving and face stuffing that comes along with the holiday season is truly wonderful, it’s a little more miserable when it comes to dressing for near-zero temperatures. Now, we all know the importance of layering and dressing smarter – as in, more cleverly – come winter. But having a couple new duds to up your sartorial ante can certainly help, too. And when it comes to reliable, timeless staples that are designed for longevity (and we wouldn’t want to invest in anything less) we can’t help but think of Mr P.’s latest collection. Here, we’ve picked a few of our favourite cold-weather pieces that’ll see you through the months ahead.

From shearling jackets to knits and winter boots, Mr P.’s new collection will see you through winter – and many seasons to come
