SIHH 2015: Ralph Lauren Automotive Chronograph (Updated with Live Photo and Price)
Among the new offerings from Ralph Lauren at this year’s SIHH is the new Ralph Lauren Automotive Chronograph. Inspired by the instrument panel of Lauren’s legendary 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic, this piece evokes the exotic yet purposeful aesthetic found in the cockpit of a car many regard as the finest gentleman's sport coupe of all time.Many great automobiles of the 1930s made lavish use of exotic materials for their interiors, yet the Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic Coupe stands apart. Its dashboard features beautifully grained wood and perfectly balanced, ultra-legible white-on-black instruments and gauges that instantly convey needed information. This dashboard inspired the new Ralph Lauren Automotive Chronograph. The dial's handmade wood dial accent is crafted from specially chosen loupe d'orme, or elm burl wood, and it reflects the interior trim of the Type 57 SC's cockpit.

Incoming! New to Panerai!
I've been looking for a diver to complete my collection, and while the obvious choice was the Sub, I already had an Explorer and GMTII, I wanted to add a bit of variety. I looked into the Black Bay, Seamaster, Aquatimer and Luminor. After weeks of staring at photos online, trying out different watches and reading up on the history of each watch I finally made my choice. Anyway, here's my new (to me) PAM111.I've always been critical with big watches in the past, always brushing it off as a trend. After a bit of research, I realized Panerai isn't a brand following a trend, they are actually big watches. I actually tried a 47mm to stay true to the tool diving instruments I see in old photos, however it just didn't work with my wrist size!This is also my first watch with a clear case back which was the tie breaker between the PAM000 and the PAM111.
