Usually on the Thursday after Thanksgiving, we host an epic night of distilled delights and fine Swiss timepieces for everyone’s favorite annual event, Whiskey & Watches.
Although the holidays look a little different this year and events are hard to come by, we still have Whiskey & Watches on our minds. This year, we had the pleasure of doing a fun collaboration with Trevor Furbay to coordinate some fantastic winter looks complete with watches & holiday spirits.
