A Collection Born from Mr. Ralph Lauren's Passion for Racing Cars
At the S.I.H.H. (International High Watchmaking Salon) held in Geneva, Switzerland in January of this year, Ralph Lauren's Sporting Collection and Stirrup Collection, though entirely different in type, both garnered significant attention for their sophisticated designs. Three models from these two collections are finally going on sale.
Mr. Ralph Lauren, known as one of the world's foremost vintage car collectors and harboring a deep passion for racing, has projected his homage to racing cars onto timepieces. From the Sporting Collection, the "Sporting Chronograph Ceramic 45mm Red Racing Stripe" and "Sporting Chronograph Ceramic 45mm Yellow Racing Stripe," featuring vibrant red or yellow accent colors, are each introduced.
These designs are inspired by the exterior and colors of 1950s-60s Ferrari racing cars, which are part of Mr. Ralph Lauren's collection. The case body and bracelet, excluding the screws and folding clasp, are made from the latest high-tech zirconium ceramic, while rubber is used for the red and yellow stripes adorning the central part of the bracelet.
The chronograph hand at the center of the dial is finished in the same color as these stripes, standing out as a distinct accent. Furthermore, the inclusion of an automatic chronograph specially produced by Jaeger-LeCoultre for Ralph Lauren, among other meticulously crafted details, makes these timepieces exceptional pieces that will impress watch enthusiasts.
Additionally, the Stirrup Collection, which features a case design inspired by the form of equestrian stirrups, now includes a modern new model with a stainless steel case. We invite you to experience firsthand the "beauty of watches" championed by Mr. Ralph Lauren.
