It is a number well known to some, 867, for 867 Madison Avenue, Ralph Lauren’s mens flagship store in New York City. The Ralph Lauren 867 Collection of fine watches embodies ultimate craftsmanship and Art Deco design, a hallmark of New York City. The collection has just welcomed four new editions all featuring symmetrical square cases of 28mm or 32mm in sterling silver or 18K rose gold. The square design of the Ralph Lauren 867 Collection is a signature element and is a simple ode to the classic and Ralph Lauren’s enduring inspiration drawn from Art Deco.  White leather, silver or gold, and a fine alligator strap reach the height of their classic characteristics in these high fashion watches for men. But we see no reason why they can’t be worn by women as well. 

The Swiss-made watches embrace the elite traditions of Swiss horology and the 28mm and 32mm timepieces are powered by an extra-flat mechanical manual winding Swiss movement that has been hand finished with vertical Côtes de Genève stripes and circular graining, known as Perlage. Outfitted with an interchangeable shiny black alligator strap, the watch is perfect for dressing up with its sterling silver or 18k rose gold buckle. Its lacquered white dial is made up of concentric squares with Arabic and Roman numerals. 

Launched in 2008, Ralph Lauren Watches and Jewelry combines the highest-quality Swiss-manufacture movements with Ralph Lauren’s most iconic inspirations – from the equestrian elegance of the Stirrup watches to the Safari and Automotive collections. Each collection is distributed through select Ralph Lauren boutiques and the finest independent watch and jewelry retailers worldwide.
