History of Ralph Lauren

Today Ralph Lauren represents every niche in men’s fashion, but he started his career by selling ties. Sustaining a leg injury after completing his basic training with the army in 1964, Lauren opted to take business classes at Baruch College and launched his first tie collection in 1967. The American lifestyle empire was built from a vision and a dream with no compromises, and today we can find some of the most iconic tie fabric in the Polo watch strap collection.

Fast forward a few decades, and as the brand continued to flourish, Ralph developed a passion for watches. As a result, he looked for ways to get into making Ralph Lauren watches in the 2000s.
