A year ago, out of the blue, I have founded my blog. No idea what to expect and what life brings.
I'm doing this because I love it, it's as simple as that.

During the last 12 months so many dreams came true... and still it gets better and better, and better.
And now, I'm leaving Switzerland for a couple of days to travel to Germany. GQ, the world's leading fashion and lifestyle magazine, is looking for an ambassador.
It's more than an ambassador, it's the GQ Gentleman 2015. I'm one of the finalists. Actually, I'm reading the magazine since pretty much 10 years and it's for sure the biggest success this year to receive such an invitation. I can't possibly be more happy!
Now let's talk a bit what a Gentleman wraps up for such an event. And some outfit details.
Outfit
It's summertime, so we're using blue and brown colours. To be precise it's a navy blue that ideally combines with cognac brown or light brown.
The suit & the shirt are from Joop, the shirt has a shark collar which looks very dapper.
Tie & pocket square are aligned in light blue.
The shoes are double sewn-welted brogues from the brand Prime Shoes, distributed by Herren Globus.
Wrist Shot
For the H1 Air Classic, HYT didn't simply recreate a traditional piece. The brand remained loyal to its codes and to its hydraulic technology: large roman numerals, gold tone, optimal visibility and chocolate tons all served with an alligator strap.
Pink gold 5N and titanium case, 48,8 mm
Mechanical hand-wound, exclusive HYT calibre
Bridges hand-chamfered and adorned with côtes de Genève, rhodiumed bellows
Accessories
Shoes
2nd pair of Oxfords by Massimo Dutti (the condition of your shoes remains better if you use a stretcher)
Cigars
Collection of Camacho Cigars (conneticut, maduro, crillo etc.)
Using matches is the classier way
Cosmetics
All the cosmetics are from Kiehl's Glattzentrum
Fragrance
Tabacco Vanille by Tom Ford
Wish me luck, you will hear the outcome very soon!
Sincerely,
Ralph
