This spring, we asked fifty of the most interesting people we know to give us one piece of advice. The occasion is the Spring/Summer 2025 edition of Esquire's Big Black Book, a manual for style and luxury that's now in its 19th year. We published it today, and the edition includes these nuggets of hard-earned wisdom. I've read it several times and find something useful with every pass. I hope you do, too. – Michael Sebastian, editor-in-chief Plus: |

From beating jet lag to discovering your personal style inside a suitcase, here are their words of wisdom. |
We've doled out our fair share of advice in the Big Black Book, but we don't presume to know everything. So we reached out to 50 of the most interesting people we know—performers, designers, editors, CEOs, photographers, jet-setters, and more—to ask them for one piece of advice they'd like to share with the world. Here are their collected words of wisdom, the inaugural edition of a project we're calling the Knowledge. From expert travel tips to new philosophies on personal style, consider this your guide to a life well lived. |

There's no watch that says summer quite like a diver. It's beach season, baby! And since the first commercially successful versions arrived in the middle of the 20th century, dive watches have been a staple both in and around the ocean. Granted, you might not be strapping on the scuba gear and descending to 100 or more meters—which all of the watches on this list can handle, by the way—but you still want something that'll hold its own while you're splashing around. With watertight construction and an emphasis on legibility, a good diver will do just that (and ensure you don't miss last call at the beach bar). |

It's a Wednesday morning in early May, and Hartnett and I are discussing his return to the spotlight at the Crosby Street Hotel in New York City. For an actor who supposedly "left Hollywood" in the early 2000s, the forty-six year-old seems as busy as ever. His latest film, Fight or Flight, is fun, outlandishly violent, and full of incredibly impressive action choreography. "People like a comeback story," Josh Hartnett tells me. "Even if I was here the whole time." |
