Las Vegas is notoriously a city made of glitz, glamour, and steel: As the razzle-dazzle Strip builds and rebuilds itself with newer casinos all vying to outdo the rest, it has become a rare US metropolis with nary a brick or piece of wood to be found. This summer, stainless steel takes center stage in watchmaking, too. Bold, sporty chronograph timepieces allow the wearer to keep track of multiple events in powerful style on the wrist, most offered in stainless cases with steel bracelets for ultimate wearability that compliments the casual elegance of our town. The durability and water-resistant designs make these watches a versatile part of any man-on-thego’s wardrobe. “The Carrera Calibre 1887 Chronograph is one of our most popular timepieces with watch buyers and collectors in Las Vegas due to its fusing of sport, sophistication, and meticulous in-house construction,” says Alyssa Mishcon, vice president of strategic planning at TAG Heuer. “The traditional styling and quality make this watch a favorite with discerning consumers here and worldwide.”
