Fashion house Ralph Lauren has unveiled a smaller version of its Western Cushion watch. The cushion-shaped case now measures 38 millimetres and is made of engraved, artificially aged sterling silver. According to Revolution, dials are offered in black, off-white and turquoise. Time+Tide and Revolution both featured the watch in their round-ups of the week in which the WatchTime New York fair took place.
Inside is a self-winding movement made for Ralph Lauren by Swiss watchmaker Piaget, which Revolution identifies as the RL514 calibre. Time+Tide explicitly describes the new release as a smaller sterling silver model in the Western Cushion line. According to the magazine, the watch is one of a whole series of new releases shown that week, including new models from MB&F, Hublot, Biver and Ressence. Neither report mentions a limited edition.
