The history of the Lacoste brand travels way back; 1923 Boston to be exact. Tennis star Rene Lacoste made a wager with his Davis Cup French team captain: if he won the game, his captain would reward him with an alligator suitcase. The suitcase never made it into Lacoste’s possession, but the moniker, “the alligator”, stuck. Soon, “alligator” became “crocodile” and before anybody realized history was being made, Rene was sporting tennis blazers with an embroidered crocodile on the left breast. The Lacoste line of clothing and fashion accessories provides consumers with elegant, but sporty products. The same attention to detail and fashion-savvy attitude that has propelled the Lacoste line to the top of the industry is present in every watch. Solid stainless steel, scratch-resistant mineral crystals and precision quartz movements are a few of the key elements that go into the crafting of the Lacoste Watch Collection. Lacoste timepieces are water resistant and backed by the manufacturer’s two year limited warranty.
