The Thursday Buy: The Tivoli Audio Model III Bluetooth Clock Is an Instant Living Room Upgrade

We talk often on this Brooklyn style blog about the right style essentials to upgrade your daily life — on the road with new boots or a rugged weekender bag, out on the town dressed in style in a merino cardigan, or lounging at home in cozy, comfortable jogger pants (to name but a few scenarios).

But just as you consider the beer in your fridge or the whiskey in your bar cart, perhaps you (like me!) appreciate the finer things in life when it comes to high-end audio and hi-fi listening.

And while my Brooklyn apartment (which you can see from time to time on my Instagram!) also features vinyl turntable and two crates of records, the space I share with my lovely Mary has also been outfitted with more than one of the best Bluetooth speakers on the market. The speaker in question comes from under-the-radar, Northeast-based audio pioneers Tivoli Audio, who I’ve covered in the past at Maxim.com, and who I now wholeheartedly recommend through the pages of this very men’s style blog.

And in my experience, the company delivers some of the best, most high-quality and simply crystal-clear, rich and pleasant audio on the market — and it just so happens that the Tivoli Audio Model III Bluetooth Speaker has enough juice and enough of the right specs to make for a wildly pleasing listening experience in your den, your living room, your bedroom or your office this autumn (and well beyond).

Naturally, it makes sense that the good folks at Bespoke Post tracked down this retro alarm clock-meets-modern Bluetooth speaker, given its handsome profile and stunning performance.

The Tivoli Audio Model III Bluetooth Speaker should check all the right boxes if you value crisp, clean and warm style and sound in one bookshelf-sized package, and it comes complete with USB charging ports, AM/FM radio capabilities, a built-in clock face and a stylish contrasting wooden build. The hardware is premium and delivered in a matte finish, and the entire package comes complete with a tuner for further sound clarity.

As Bespoke Post so sagely notes, “beneath its retro exterior lies modern functionality,” and the Tivoli Audio Model III Bluetooth Speaker is the total package if you value a seriously upgraded, modern listening experience. And the best part? You’ve got plenty of time to add this elegant piece to your space ahead of the holiday season.

The Friday Read: The Best Bluetooth Radio, New Mack Weldon Gear & The Best Leather Jackets

Tivoli Audio Model One

Ever since making the jump to full-time freelance writing back in July of last year, my days have started off a bit differently than when I “clocked in” (logged into Slack, that is) during my old full-time job. Namely, and especially on a Friday like today — and the day after my birthday, no less! — I take it easy to start the day, reading a book, snapping some Instagram photos and of course, playing my Spotify playlist on the seriously cool Bluetooth radio shown above. That radio would be the Tivoli Audio Model One, and it’s perhaps the best Bluetooth radio I’ve seen — I can’t vouch for Tivoli Audio enough, what with classic, cool designs plus crystal-clear sound quality that’s at once booming and yet nuanced. In fact, I reviewed the Tivoli Revive for Maxim, but I love the fact that you can get the Tivoli Audio Model One at UNCRATE, and it’s with some laidback tunes that I’m rolling into the weekend. How about you? We’ve got a jam-packed Friday Read to send you on your way if you keep scrolling, too.

 But back to this week — it’s been a busy one as I file stories for The Manual and Maxim (one of which you’ll read below!), among others, and of course, it was all in the midst of my “birthday week,” too! Heck, when I started this blog back in the summer of 2013, I had no idea it’d become part of my “career” as a freelance writer, and I certainly didn’t know if it would make it to 2021! How about that?

Things looked mighty different this year than last year, or any other year, for that matter, but I spent my day reading a new favorite book about The Replacements, strolling through Prospect Park and enjoying a beer or three at the heated outdoor bar that is The Rusty Nail in Brooklyn. Thanks to all who wished me a happy birthday! I certainly made the best of it it, and I’m grateful to be able to celebrate in small ways this year — with better days ahead, no doubt. But today, and this weekend, it’s back to work on content for this blog and elsewhere, powered by coffee and the soulful stylings of The National. With all that being said, I recommend you get your hands on the Tivoli Audio Model One to provide the right soundtrack for this weekend (and beyond). Cheers and thanks for reading!

Mack Weldon review
Wolverine BLVD Collection
  • I’ve got another recommended winter style tip for you, one meant to shake up the doldrums of these days with classic looks and top-notch functionality in mind. I’m talking, naturally, about Wolverine men’s boots for rugged seasonal appeal. To get more specific, I’m recommending you pick up the Wolverine BLVD Cap Toe Boots, a highly versatile, rugged-yet-dressy leather boots you can wear with slim blue jeans or perhaps even some Mack Weldon performance pants and a stretch casual shirt for dressier days at home or on the road. How about it, ehh? And yes, you can also get free shipping on Wolverine boots right now.
  • The headline, of course, mentions the best leather jackets, so without further ado, here’s my latest Maxim guide on the coolest leather jackets to buy now. Of course, I had to feature a Buck Mason leather jacket, plus a refined and versatile leather jacket from The Jacket Maker. Talk about standout winter layering and timeless style.

I talked above about the leather jacket you should be wearing right now, but what about your refined winter topcoat from Todd Snyder and how to wear that particular piece? That’s what this #OOTD covers: How to wear a topcoat this winter. Stay right here on the blog to check it out, then layer up in style accordingly. That’s all for today, folks — enjoy the weekend and thanks for reading!
