In a thrilling fusion of flair and legacy, TAG Heuer and Porsche set the stage for an explosive partnership two years ago. Honoring the illustrious history of the legendary Carrera, the iconic watch brand and the renowned Porsche 911 joined forces to create a timeless masterpiece. Now, get ready to be mesmerized as TAG Heuer unveils not one, but two extraordinary versions of their latest marvel: the Carrera Chronosprint x Porsche. This remarkable timepiece pays homage to the awe-inspiring 60-year anniversary of both the TAG Heuer Carrera collection and the Porsche 911.
Imbued with unrivaled precision, visionary design, and unparalleled speed, these new watches, available in stainless steel and gold iterations, harness the power of the groundbreaking TH20-08 movement. A stunning reinterpretation of TAG Heuer’s in-house caliber TH20, which made its grand debut earlier this year, this revolutionary mechanism boasts a central seconds hand that exhilaratingly accelerates, decelerates, and restarts within a mesmerizing 60-second cycle. Thanks to two meticulously crafted snail-shaped wheels, this watch exudes unmatched performance. With a water resistance of up to 100 meters, these 42mm chronograph marvels are built to conquer.
Prepare to be captivated by the dial’s audacious design details—a symphony of red lines adorns the flange, mirroring the precise measure from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour, a feat accomplished in a mere 9.1 seconds, reminiscent of the blazing acceleration of the first Porsche 911 cars. Witness a spectacle of drama and motion as the subsidiary dial at 6:00 reminisces the iconic dashboard of 1970’s Porsches, boasting vivid red lines in the 50-60 kilometer range. Not to be outdone, the subsidiary dial at 9:00 pays a handsome tribute to the engine gauge, featuring a daring red limit that signifies 6.8 hours, corresponding to the astounding 6,800 revolutions per minute of the movement.
These extraordinary watches are adorned with a double glassbox crystal that offers a mesmerizing view of the magnificent dial. The crystal case back, a testament to meticulous craftsmanship, grants an exclusive glimpse into the intricate movement, accompanied by a specially designed mass reminiscent of the iconic three-spoke Porsche steering wheel. Both timepieces are elegantly paired with a calfskin leather strap, elegantly embossed with the iconic “911” emblem. The steel variant boasts a silver dial and flange, complemented by a sleek black strap, while the golden version radiates with a warm beige dial and flange, adorned with a luxurious brown strap. Priced at $9,200 for the steel edition and $23,550 for the golden rendition, TAG Heuer delivers unmatched excellence for the discerning connoisseur.
CEO of TAG Heuer, Frédéric Arnault, passionately attests, “This horological marvel flawlessly encapsulates the very essence of the motorsport universe and symbolizes our extraordinary partnership with Porsche. Seamlessly merging the rich heritage of the 911 and the TAG Heuer Carrera, we’ve harnessed cutting-edge technology and avant-garde design. This extraordinary timepiece stands as a testament to our shared values of uncompromising precision, relentless innovation, and a deep reverence for our storied histories.”
