Art Deco Style Slim Classique Collection

What kind of watches will be unveiled in 2012?—Watch aficionados are surely looking forward to it. The new Ralph Lauren preview presented here showcases the "Slim Classique Collection," a square-shaped dress watch. Employing clean, distinct geometric lines, this Art Deco-style timepiece, where unique classicism and modernity coexist, presents timeless elegance. It is a luxurious timepiece that pays homage to the sophisticated charm and refined taste of the Roaring Twenties, combined with expert diamond setting, in two variations.

The first model features a single row of diamonds set on the bezel, with a black frame accentuating the watch's linear form, further enhancing the beautiful contrast with the diamonds. The second model, adorned with two rows of brilliant-cut diamonds on the bezel, also has diamonds set on the lugs. A single rose-cut diamond graces the crown, adding to its opulence.

Both are crafted from 18K white gold and feature indices combining black Roman and Arabic numerals. The silver opaline dial, meticulously crafted based on tradition, is a distinctive feature. The strap is made of chic black alligator, and both models measure a traditional 27.5mm square for a dress watch. Furthermore, like other models in the "Slim Classique Collection," they are equipped with Ralph Lauren's exclusive ultra-thin manual-winding movement, a Piaget-manufactured caliber measuring just 2.1mm in thickness, embodying Piaget's high technical expertise.

These unisex diamond models are designed to adorn the wrists of both sophisticated gentlemen and elegant ladies. They are truly formal and elegant masterpieces that convey the essence of Art Deco to the present day.
