We don’t normally play favorites when it comes to online retailers, but if there’s one site we can always count on for good taste and superior quality brands, it’s Mr Porter. Now guys worried about their wardrobe style for the gym, field and track too can breathe a collective sigh of relief, as today the website just launched Mr Porter Sport.

“We know that sport and fitness are integral to our customers’ interests and day-to-day lives, so beyond offering the best in men’s fashion, we want to offer our global audience the best in men’s sports apparel as well,” explains Toby Bateman, Buying Director, MrPorter.com, adding that brands were selected for both their technical performance abilities and style. Accordingly, the category addresses nine so-called disciplines including running, cycling, tennis, golf, training, outdoor, swimming and sailing, and plans to introduce ski and surf later in the year.

In other company news, on Thursday the retailer appointed Jeremy Langmead, one-time Editor-in-Chief of Mr Porter and more recent Chief Content Officer of Christie’s, to the newly created role of brand and content director, so we expect something of an exciting site refresh in the near future.

Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked Cactus Jack Limited Edition

Where haute horology meets hip-hop, the collaboration between Audemars Piguet and Travis Scott's Cactus Jack has birthed a timepiece that's as audacious as the beats that echo through Scott's music. Enter The Chocolate AP, a limited-edition marvel that pushes the boundaries of both watchmaking and street culture.
The watch: A symphony of craftsmanship
Beneath the surface of this Audemars Piguet watch lies the magic of white gold hexagonal screws, seamlessly blending functionality with elegance. The sapphire dial, a window to the soul of the watch, exposes the intricate open-worked movement, Calibre 5135. A symphony of rhodium-toned components dances in harmony with pink-gold-toned hues, creating a visual feast for watch enthusiasts and music aficionados alike.

Travis Scott, with his artistic vision encapsulated in intricate drawings, led the charge in shaping the destiny of this limited edition. Across the Swiss landscape, the skilled hands of the Audemars Piguet team meticulously brought his vision to life. The iconic moon, a regular feature at 6 o'clock, takes a backseat in the Chocolate AP. In its place, Travis Scott's Cactus Jack logo adorns the dial — a whimsical smiley face with its mouth sewn shut, adding a touch of irreverence and uniqueness to this musical timepiece.
