August Man SG Magazine - Issue 202

In this issue

With the start of UEFA EURO 2024 this month, we have a very football-centric issue on our hands, and who better to front it than one of the game’s global superstars, Kylian Mbappé. We study the Hublot ambassador's meteoric rise to greatness (pg. 40) as he leads France in his first major tournament as national team captain.

My team and I can’t wait for the tournament — be sure to catch our updates on Augustman.com.

For those who watch football with their fathers, the team at Augustman, along with our friends at Montblanc, want to remind you that 16 June is Father’s Day. If you need a gift guide for Dad, we’ve got stylish Montblanc masterpieces on pg. 108.

Football can be seen as an artform. A perfectly weighted through ball can be as awe-inspiring as an exquisite Jacob & Co. Astronomia Regulator (pg. 64). A slaloming solo run through an opponent’s defence can be as timelessly majestic and as technically elegant as Jaeger-LeCoultre's Master Grande Tradition Calibre 948 (pg. 50). A tough tackle can hold the brutalist pulchritude of the Luminox Atacama Field Series (pg. 66). And goals — oh, my word, goals — are always a thing of wonder, like a Dior Modern Tailoring capsule (pg. 18), or the new LV The Place in Bangkok (pg. 98).

In this issue, we also connect with some of our favourite human beings, including Olympic gold medalist Joseph Schooling (pg. 22), Cartier’s Image, Style and Heritage Director Pierre Raneiro (pg. 52), and A. Lange & Söhne CEO Wilhelm Schmid (pg. 64). We also introduce our final 10 August Men of Tomorrow (pg. 70 onwards). Finally, we look into the terse exchange of ripostes that is the Drake-Kendrick Lamar feud (pg. 110).

In the spirit of football, I invite you to seek your truths, embrace your joys, and celebrate your life. Have the conversations you need to have, revel in your art. We are, after all, the sons of a species that invented the beautiful game.

THE SWEET LIFE

The re-emergence of the 'skater' aesthetic in fashion is more than just a trend; it's a cultural shift.

August Men Of Tomorrow

In the age of independent thinking, our idea of leaders needs to evolve. Let us posit an alternative to traditional ideas of leaders: leadership is a choice, an act rather than a personality trait. We choose to do the difficult thing. We choose to bear responsibility when few would. You don't need the contrivances of power to be a leader. Instead, you can be a Community Developer at a gaming company, introducing small but vital initiatives to grow and engage with your community. You can be a DJ, moving the masses with music, making waves rather than demands. You can be a tattoo artist or the owner of a gallery, helping people discover their sense of self through art.Or you could fight for a better, kinder world for animals in Singapore.Here are the leaders of today. Here are the August Men of Tomorrow.
