It's barely December, but the watch industry is already starting to gear up for the winter shows. Ralph Lauren Watches are a strange brand from the Richemont stable. They've got a solidly coherent aesthetic, antique automobiles(which makes sense considering RLTM's collection), and solid movements, but I'm at a bit of a loss as to who their target is. In any case, they have a new tourbillon out this year, in a large (nearly 45mm) blackened-steel case. Like their Sporting Automotive collection (at least the names are descriptive), there's a ring of elm burl at the outer edge of the dial.
Unlike their current tourbillon(RL67), this one is flying (only mounted at the bottom, rather then between 2 bridges), and the RL167 movement has a micro-rotor for winding. MSRP unknown
