The Stirrup Collection from Ralph Lauren, launched in 2009, embodies the brand’s deep-rooted equestrian heritage through its stirrup-shaped watches. These timepieces symbolize nobility and adventure, resonating with the timeless connection between horse and rider. Ralph Lauren’s passion for equestrian style is evident in the collection’s design, aiming to blend the elegance of horse riding with iconic and timeless elements.
On the collection’s 15th anniversary, Ralph Lauren introduced the Stirrup Small timepiece which stands out with its 27.70mm x 29.30mm stainless steel case, showcasing the collection’s distinctive stirrup shape. Attention to detail is paramount in every aspect, from the Roman numerals and minute track on the dial to the convex sapphire crystal and black oxidized sword-shaped hands.
The Stirrup Small model features a case set with 60 stones (~0.69 Ct) and is paired with a luxurious black calf strap with black stitching. Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the small leather flap connecting the watchcase to the strap, reminiscent of a rider’s saddle stirrup leather. The unique interchangeable strap, with its tab and stud closure, echoes the saddle’s contour. The timepiece also includes a stirrup-shaped buckle that complements the case.
You have a variety of strap options, including alligator or calf leather in colors like white, red, bright navy, and marine navy. This variety allows for personal style expression through mix-and-match possibilities.
