Ralph Lauren

Ralph Lauren Corporation was founded in 1967 by American designer Ralph Lauren (born Ralph Lifshitz), building an empire around American luxury sportswear and lifestyle. Fine watches arrived via a 2007 joint venture with Richemont—the Polo Ralph Lauren Watch and Jewelry Company in Geneva—whose first collection debuted at SIHH in 2009 using Swiss movements linked to Richemont manufactures.

After the joint venture ended in 2018, Ralph Lauren continued Swiss-made timepieces independently. Collections such as Automotive, Safari and Slim Classique translate the house’s polo-and-heritage aesthetic into mechanical and quartz watches for the fashion-luxury segment.
