DESCRIPTION

  • The Ralph Lauren Automotive Collection:
    High performance, refined elegance  


    The Automotive collection was created as an expression of Ralph Lauren’s ability to create worlds of design that represent not just beautiful objects, but a philosophy of living. The Automotive timepieces represent an especially personal vision of watch design. Ralph Lauren’s collection of automobiles, painstakingly assembled over decades, is one of the finest in the world, and many of the design elements of the Automotive collection are derived from the same fusion of aesthetics and mechanical excellence.  

    Echoing automotive coachwork, the Automotive collection is characterized by case shapes that combine strong geometry with sweeping, graceful curves. The exposed screws on the bezel, as well as the brushed and polished surfaces of the cases, express the same mechanical fascination as a powerful engine. The dials of the Automotive watches are styled after the perfectly composed cockpit instruments of the world’s finest cars. In particular, the Automotive collection has been inspired by Ralph Lauren’s 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic Coupe, in its use of carefully selected elm burl wood as a dial element - the  same  material found on the  automobile’s dashboard.  

    The Automotive collection of timepieces is a masterful representation of Ralph Lauren’s lifelong fascination with the unique allure of beautiful machines - both automotive and horological.

    The Ralph Lauren Automotive Chronograph  

    For 2015, Ralph Lauren introduces the Ralph Lauren Automotive Chronograph. Inspired by the instrument panel of Ralph Lauren’s legendary 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic Coupe, the Automotive Chronograph represents the height of legibility and beauty.  

    While all great automobiles of the 1930s made especially lavish use of exotic materials for their interiors, the 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic Coupe is particularly compelling. Its dashboard, with its superbly controlled visual balance, has directly inspired the Automotive Chronograph. The timepiece’s curved case horns and chronograph pushers echo the graceful yet powerful lines of the automobile’s body (and recall the first generation of gentlemen’s sports chronographs of the 1930s), while the handmade wooden dial element - crafted from specially chosen loupe d’orme, or elm burl wood - reflects the interior trim of the Type 57 SC’s cockpit. In order to give the dial the same visual detail and impact as the automobile’s instrument panel, only veneers with the right concentration of knots and grains were chosen. Each veneer is selected individually for each watch, and as no two veneers are alike, each watch is a unique piece.  

    A timepiece inspired by a high-performance automobile deserves an engine as refined as its design, and for the movement that drives the Automotive Chronograph, Ralph Lauren has partnered with Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre. The movement, self-winding caliber RL751A/1, runs in 39 jewels, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, and offers a 65-hour power reserve. The Côtes de Genève and perlage movement finishing is a special decoration exclusive to Ralph Lauren.  

    The Ralph Lauren Automotive Chronograph is a superbly functional and impeccably crafted timepiece - a direct reflection of Ralph Lauren’s lifelong passion for the world of beautiful machines found both in automotive design and the tradition of fine watchmaking.
