Inspired by classic designs of the American frontier, the Ralph Lauren American West collection offers a set of timepieces. This collection includes a host of wristwatches and pocket watches, all of which are adorned with incredibly intricate engravings and designs that evoke the Wild West portrayed in classic American films. The inspiration for the Ralph Lauren American West collection also comes from the brand's 1980's Santa Fe-inspired collection of belts and leather goods.
The collection features two special edition pocket watches and four wristwatches. Two of the wristwatches are cushion-shaped while the other two pieces feature round cases. The pocket watches are both round, with one being constructed of sterling silver, and the other of rose gold. The timepieces in the Ralph Lauren American West collection range from $24,000 to $58,000 and are all handmade.
