The jump from gift baskets to gentlemen's clothing may seem unconventional, but for BOGA creator Je ff Burkard, it was the right move. Burkard, who was in the gift basket industry for more than 20 years, recently launched BOGA as a way for dis- cerning male shoppers to find items that can be mixed and matched seamlessly. "To build a highly functional wardrobe, the individual pieces need to be strategically designed to work together," says Burkard, whose designs are manufactured in Italy and Switzerland. BOGA's full range includes denim, dress shirts, T-shirts, knits, shoes, belts, and accessories, mak- ing for an all-encompassing brand. A new showroom in the West Loop assures easy access for Chicagoans. 133 N. Jefferson St., 5th Fl., 312-801-8662; boga.com profile time out The Promesse collection of automatic and quartz women's timepieces is a nod to Baume & Mercier's storied past. The designs incorporate the crisp architectural lines of the brand's watches from the 1970s, with modern twists. Available in 30mm and 34mm sizes, the Swiss- made watches feature a round case and dial, juxta- posed with an oval bezel for feminine appeal, with accents such as diamonds and mother-of-pearl. The automatic versions feature a transparent caseback for viewing the movement. A host of different models, including strap and bracelet variations, offer a superior selection. Pricing starts at about $1,900. KEEPING A PROMESSE Marshall Pierce & Company, 29 E. Madison St., 312-372-2415; baume-et-mercier.com 44 MICHIGANAVEMAG.COM STYLE Spotlight
