An American in Paris: The ‘Haute’ of Automobiles, Horologie, and Cuisine from Ralph Lauren
Ralph Lauren has admitted to his long running affair with Paris. When receiving the Legion D’Honneur, French President Nicolas Sarkozy stated that Ralph Lauren represented: “.. an America we like very much —beauty, democracy and quality of life”. Opening ...
the world's most expensive hamburger!
Thank you for your presentation of both the car exhibition (its definitely worth it) and of the amazing RL shop in Saint Germain and the restaurant is quite good. I am a big fan of your wrist companion...great watch!
Yes, but it can feed the whole table! I was surprised
by the car exhibit and how you could get close to the cars. Thanks Alex. Andrew H
I've had a chance to examine Ralph Lauren's watches.....
and they are beautifully understated pieces, like you suggest. Of course, Chicago is no Paris thx for sharing this--hope you enjoyed the Ridge Zin! One of my favorite American producers.... J
The Ridge Zin reminded me of 'home'. Used to live in CA
and now live in London. Always loved Paul Draper's writings at the back of the bottles and (the near European) understated comments about the quality of the wine. I miss Ridge being in the local store... but great to see it in Paris. Thanks Andrew H
Beautiful day in Paris..
miss it greatly and would have to swing by the new store to check it out. The automotive inspired pieces are interesting. Thanks for sharing...
Thanks - it was a beautiful day in Paris and hope to be back
there next week. Andrew H
Both were great! As I said, was not that keen on the
RL Bugatti watch until I saw it near the car, and then it made sense! Thanks Andrew H
That watch on the menu... is very nice...
It is very tasteful... I don't know if I could spend actual money on a watch that was made by 'a fashion designer', but... shrug... it's a very nice, tasteful piece. The man seems to be a business-mastermind. I hope he's having fun, because he (lauren) se...
I think RL is having fun, both with cars and with his watches,
both of which are close to his heart. Thanks for reading Andrew H
Very nice fusion article. The cars were amazing and the place
Itself must be worth going back to see, incredible.. It would be a real joy to witness RL's watch selections from his collection, please let us know if that comes to fruition. Thanks for the vacation to Paris, always a pleasure. Glad you liked the wine, t...
Thanks for the kind words. Then I know where you are. Ridge
used to be my 'local'. Miss CA a great deal at times. Andrew H
Thanks Imran - there is always the Eurostar for the day trip...
and Paris is such a beautiful place to be. Some great watch shops! Andrew H
Thanks Andrew for the visit !
I've never eaten there so I will try to do it during the summer period, after the Sales. It is too crowded now. Fx
Thanks, Andrew, for the report and pics!
Love your Classique. Understated sophistication ~ simple yet elegant. Even though the RL name is not usually associated with horology, I believe his "partnerships" will slowly but surely start to make an impact. BTW, The food looks scrumptious! Wish I was...
