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-the- go'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 meticu- lous in-house construction," says Alyssa Mishcon, vice president of strategic planning at TAG Heuer.
