    One thing about weddings? They make everyone up their style game. We are neck-deep in wedding season, and if you’re second-guessing all your style choices—tie or no tie, loafers or oxfords, pocket square folded or puffed—here’s a little news flash: it’s probably your watch that needs the real upgrade. 


    If you look down at your watch and see a round or square-shaped dial, we're not saying that it's not a good watch, but you might want to consider mixing things up a bit this wedding season. Enter: Tonneau watches. Tonneau is the french word “barrel”, and tonneau watches are watches with an elongated dial that is wider in the middle and narrower at the edges. 


    Weddings are all about putting your best fashion foot forward, and an interesting watch is the easiest way to make your outfit cooler without stepping out of the realms of your comfort. Nothing against round or square dialed watches, but there is something about a barrel-shaped watch that says “ my watch game is better than yours!”. It's beautiful, elegant, and a little more unexpected than the traditional round watch. If you too, want to invest in a tonneau watch this wedding season, here are our top picks.

    For Manifest to become one of Cambridge Dictionary's most viewed words of 2024 — 1,30,000 hits and counting — it means some of us must have Googled it at least once. I know, I hit that search button over and over again
    because each time I looked at it, I saw a new meaning.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.
