Timeless martinis and modern marvels redefine style and function
The exact origin of the martini is a mystery, credited to bartenders from either San Francisco or New York. Nevertheless, the cocktail has sustained as a preeminent concoction of ratios and simplicity. Just two ingredients make up the drink, but for a twist, you can certainly add olive juice. One of our favorites, the gentleman's cocktail inspired this everyday carry loadout below.
NOMOS Club Campus
Debuting in 2017 as a playful take on the brand's minimalist approach, NOMOS' Club Campus line has never been afraid to express itself. Expanding the lineup with new earthy dial colors in olive (shown here) and rose, the Club Campus still sticks to its roots, with its California-style numerals, small seconds hand, and meticulously-spaced dial design. Housing the brand's in-house DUW 4001 manual-would movement, the watch sports a compact 36mm stainless steel case with 100m of water resistance. Lastly, it comes adorned with a super-comfortable vegan velour remborde anthracite strap.
Kershaw Launch Iridium MagnaCut Automatic Knife Olive
Kershaw's Launch series debuted in 2015 to much acclaim. Enthusiasts loved its made-in-USA construction, premium materials, and fast-firing automatic deployment, yet without hiking up the price tag. Bringing its Iridium model to the lineup, this variant - the first Launch knife not to get a number moniker - is one of our favorites. It's a clean, no-nonsense EDC knife with a MagnaCut blade and a beautiful olive aluminum handle contoured for grip.
Tactile Turn Distressed Ano Slim Switch Pen
Based in Texas, Tactile Turn always churns out superb writing utensils, either utterly simple or conceptually inspired. This Distressed Ano Slim Switch Pen is more of the former, combining a fidget-friendly switch mechanism and a super straightforward yet stylized exterior in a lightweight, durable stonewashed titanium.
Krewe Zander Aviator
Founded in 2013, KREWE is a New Orleans-based eyewear brand known for handcrafted, small-batch sunglasses that blend modern style with cultural inspiration. For its own take on the aviator, the Zander is simultaneously familiar with its oversized aesthetic yet unique thanks to KREWE's angular approach. We love the gradient design on these acetate frames as well, equipped with dark polarized lenses.
