The same steel that constructs the Manhattan skyline that fades in the rearview mirror while escaping the city for the serenity of the Hamptons is also an omnipresent material in watchmaking— especially when it comes to the sport chronograph. “The Carerra Calibre 1887 Chronograph is one of our most popular timepieces with watch buyers and collectors in the Hamptons due to its fusing of sport, sophistication, and meticulous in-house construction,” says Alyssa Mishcon, VP of strategic planning at TAG Heuer. “The traditional styling and quality makes this a favorite with discerning consumers here and worldwide.”
Durability and water-resistant designs position stainless steel watches as a most versatile element in any man-on-the-go’s wardrobe. Most of these bold watches are offered with stainless steel cases and bracelets for ultimate wearability that will complement the casual elegance of summering in the Hamptons.
