Tag Heuer became the official timekeeper for Formula 1 in 2025, and it has launched different timepieces since January to mark this occasion.

“To have Tag Heuer as the official timekeeper of Formula 1 is something very important. It reminds us of the legacy that we have together in the past but we are really looking to embrace the future together. We will have an incredible season. There will be a lot of action on the track, and the gaps measured by your watches will be very marginal, so that will be very exciting,” said Stefano Domenicali, president & CEO of Tag Heuer.

Tag Heuer recently unveiled the official clock for Formula 1 alongside other Formula 1 chronographs. During the Australian Grand Prix, Domenicali commented on the partnership, noting that such pieces are quite effective in measuring time—one of the reasons why Tag Heuer is the official timekeeper.

“Core values of Formula 1 are the same as those of Tag Heuer – precision, trust, and as you know, it’s always a method of timing. That’s our sport,” added Stefano Domenicali.

The two brands have a strong relationship that goes back to the early ‘70s. It has been fortified over the past few decades with different values. Since the brand was the official timekeeper for Formula 1 in the ’90s and early ‘2000s, it knows its way around everything that goes down in Formula 1 tracks.

As the 2025 timekeeper, the brand is now focusing on accuracy in the new season, which kicked off earlier this month.

Frederique Constant 2025 Collection: Swiss Excellence Meets Affordable Luxury

Frederique Constant Classic Perpetual Calendar

Since entering the luxury watchmaking industry 37 years ago, Frederique Constant has maintained its goal of offering premium mechanical watches at affordable prices. At Watches and Wonders 2025, the Swiss brand doubled down on its commitment by introducing a new lineup of models, including stone-dial timepieces, perpetual calendars, and optimized in-house movements — all while keeping to the brand’s affordable price points.
Accessible luxury as a concept

Their Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture is far less expensive than other luxury watches of the same level. It's a decisive and bold move for the brand and drives home its dedication to value without compromise, an integral component of its winning philosophy.

This year’s collection introduces refined aesthetics and technical upgrades, ensuring Frederique Constant remains an international leader in entry-level luxury timepieces.
Extended power reserve models

IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40 draws inspiration from F1 movie prop watch

A prop watch turns into a real watch

IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40 Reference IW328908

IWC just presented a new stylish watch, a limited edition Ingenieur Automatic 40, that pays tribute to the upcoming F1 movie, a film that features IWC's branding. As the name hints, the movie’s plotline focuses on F1 motorsports and stars Damson Idris and Brad Pitt as professional F1 drivers. While Brad Pitt’s character is Sonny Hayes, Damson Idris stars as Joshua Pearce. Both characters are in the same F1 team, APXGP, which IWC sponsors. The film will be in theaters on June 27th, 2025.

Since both drivers are under IWC’s wing, Sonny Hayes will be rocking a prop IWC watch inspired by the Ingenieur SL ref. 1832, featuring a stylish green dial. While Sonny Hayes’ watch is a prop, it is the brainchild of Cloister Watch Company and IWC. The first brand deals with bespoke prop watches that closely resemble real watches.
