TAG Heuer launches the Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon Extreme Sport F1 75th Anniversary Limited Edition. Only 75 watches exist, with each one representing a single Formula 1 World Championship season. A 44mm grade 2 titanium case holds an 18K 5N yellow gold bezel. Inside sits the manufacture Calibre TH20-09, a COSC certified tourbillon chronograph. The sapphire caseback bears a unique engraving: a championship year sits inside a gold victory wreath outline and the number appears as YEAR/75.

The set covers every F1 title year from 1950 to 2024. TAG Heuer decides which year goes to each buyer rather than allowing selection. Every caseback shows the F1 75 logo next to the assigned year and wreath, making each of the 75 watches distinct from the rest.

Jack Heuer released the first Carrera in 1963 as a clearly readable chronograph for drivers. During the 1970s TAG Heuer timed for Ferrari and tightened its bond with racing. The firm built tools such as the Le Mans Centigraph and worked with drivers from Ayrton Senna to current champion Max Verstappen. The name Carrera points back to the Carrera Panamericana road race held in Mexico in the 1950s.

The 44mm titanium case cuts weight, while the gold bezel gives warm contrast to the grey shell. The openworked dial cuts holes above the movement so the tourbillon cage and chronograph parts remain visible. COSC testing confirms the movement keeps chronometer grade time. The tachymeter scale on the bezel carries the Formula 1 logo among its numerals.

The Calibre TH20-09 joins a tourbillon regulator to a chronograph. The layout holds more parts than either function alone. Gears and the spinning tourbillon cage show through the dial gaps and through the sapphire back.

TAG Heuer sells the Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon Extreme Sport F1 75th Anniversary Limited Edition through its boutiques and authorized dealers. The firm states pricing at point of sale.

The ‘Dad Reset’ is on the horizon: Megan Collins leads the charge

Men are taking ownership over what they wear and the founder of Style Girlfriend is here to help

Person, Sitting, Adult

One of the most frustrating moments in any man's style journey is when your wardrobe starts to feel stale. No matter what you do, you feel like everything you put on is old, boring, or tired. You try to switch it up. You pair it differently. It just lost its luster. The truth is, it happens to all of us. But the people who struggle with it the most are middle-aged men. With a specific focus on dads. Middle-aged men are too young to resign themselves to not caring about their look anymore. They are too old to dive into the trends with the changing of the fashion winds. So many of them throw in the towel. Add to that overwhelming feeling being a busy father, and there is just no way to spend the time and energy on rebuilding a wardrobe. That is where Megan Collins comes in. Her business, Style Girlfriend, takes men and restores their confidence from the ground up with new, elevated, and evolved stylistic choices.

When you have one outfit you love, you wear it. When you wear it, you notice how much better you feel. Then, you want another outfit that gives you that same feeling. That's how confidence builds. Not all at once, but one good decision at a time. - Megan Collins, Founder, Style Girlfriend

Shinola’s new blacked-out Mackinac Night Race revives a rare sailing complication

The Detroit brand's new limited edition puts a one-of-a-kind forged carbon dial on a yacht timer — the countdown built for sailboat starts.

Wristwatch, Arm, Rope

Shinola has made watches about Detroit, about the Apollo program, and about a lake monster. Its newest one is about a sailboat race, and damn, is it good-looking.

The Detroit-based brand is launching the Mackinac Night Race, a limited edition built around the yacht timer — the countdown complication used to time the start of a sailing race, aka one of watchmaking's more specialized tricks. The name nods to the Great Lakes maritime history the watch draws on (so not technically an official race tie-in).

The West is a statement look with TAFT’s new edit

TAFT Longhorn collection gives you a stylish look with a little western flare

Clothing, Footwear, Shoe

One of the most iconic ways a man can stand out is to make a statement with his style. Now, this isn't as easy as it sounds. Most of the time, if a man doesn't know what he is doing when he goes to make a statement, he goes overboard. Colors, patterns, textures, they can all work together or battle each other out for attention and cause problems. For instance, wearing a bright color combined with a crazy pattern can make you look more like an optical illusion than a stylish man. You look like you are cosplaying The Joker instead of methodically piecing together pieces that are working together to give an outfit depth. One of the tricks I have always loved to incorporate with my looks is a statement shoe. A typical everyday outfit can be elevated easily with a shoe standing out with color or pattern. One of my favorite brands to go to when I want to do that is TAFT. They are the best in the game for a statement shoe, and their new edit is a way to capitalize on that idea.
