It sticks out like neon: everyone knows the green crocodile from Lacoste. The success story of the brand with the reptile begins in 1923 with a lost bet. René Lacoste, the company's founder, was to receive a suitcase made of crocodile leather for his next victory – and got instead of the crocodile leather suitcase the winking nickname "The Alligator". As a result, the tennis legend not only developed the first modern polo shirt – but sewed on each new shirt the green little brand mascot. Today, Lacoste is world-famous for exclusive fashion, watches and other accessories. Classic elegance and sporty lightness also characterize the design of the beautiful wristwatches – on which the green crocodile, of course, never misses.

Lacoste: the noble fashion brand is still the epitome of modern French style. Since the brand's beginnings in the 1920s, it has been inspired by the sporty looks of golf and tennis as well as their exclusive lifestyle worlds. Accordingly, Lacoste's watches still present themselves as decidedly sporty and charmingly exquisite. Company founder René Lacoste, himself a multiple Grand Slam winner and Davis Cup winner with France, is still one of the greatest tennis legends today.
Lacoste watches as a stylish homage to the inventor of the polo shirt
However, René Lacoste probably celebrated his most outstanding triumph outside of the tennis court: with the development of the first modern polo shirt. However, his original polo shirt owed its “invention” to Lacoste's many years of experience as a professional tennis player. In contrast to the long-sleeved blazers that were previously common, it was made of airy, woven cotton piqué that was significantly lighter and more comfortable to wear, thus significantly increasing comfort while playing. The polo shirt quickly proved to be indispensable on the court – just like a stylish Lacoste watch is today.
The green crocodile – an unmistakable trademark on Lacoste watches
Even more famous than René Lacoste and his world-famous polo shirts is the fashion label's unmistakable logo: the green crocodile. “Le Crocodile” , as his colleagues from the French Davis Cup team ironically nicknamed René Lacoste since 1923 after he lost a bet for a crocodile leather suitcase, was from now on not only to adorn every René Lacoste polo shirt. Since then it has been found on all Lacoste creations, of course also on Lacoste wristwatches. The Lacoste crocodile undoubtedly played a significant role in popularizing the company. The actually very cute and beautifully stylized green reptile sharpens the brand's unmistakable profile on every Lacoste watch to this day.
The Lacoste watch collections: sporty elegance for the wrist
Of course, it would also be foolish not to use the cheerful crocodile as an integral design element of Lacoste's wristwatch collections. In addition to the charm of the reptile, it is above all the chic of Lacoste watches that the top brand enjoys such a large fan base. The irresistibly stylish, often colourful Lacoste watch models delight trend-conscious sports enthusiasts as well as elegant city shoppers. The latter wear their Lacoste wristwatch as a timelessly exquisite accessory. No matter whether it's a sporty Lacoste chronograph for men or an elegant Lacoste watch for women: Lacoste watches are original companions for everyday life and sport – and of course impressive fashion statements.
