TAG Heuer unveils new timepieces

Since TAG Heuer is a part of the LVMH group, it introduced new watches into the market during LVMH Watch Week, including timepieces that celebrate its title as the Formula 1 official timekeeper. Apart from the Formula 1 watches, the brand also added new pieces to the TAG Heuer Carrera line.

For starters, the new Formula 1 collection has four watches characterized by unique color accents, such as lime green, red, and electric blue. Such colors are quite effective in painting a picture of what goes down on Formula 1 tracks. Every single watch features an aerodynamic casing reminiscent of Formula 1 cars. The watches have titanium cases, bezels, and precision-engineered tachymeters printed on an aluminum insert.

The TAG Heuer Carrera line, on the other hand, has been expanded. The first timepiece in the line is the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronosprint x Porsche Rallye—a watch that honors a motorsport race from the ‘60s, popularly known as the 1965 Monte Carlo Rally.

These limited-edition watches are offered in stainless steel (911 pieces) and 18K 3N yellow gold (11 pieces). Not surprisingly, the Porsche 911 inspired the design, which features a black dial reminiscent of vintage Heuer dashboard timers and beige details (similar to the 911’s interior). There’s a central second hand that accelerates for 15 seconds before slowing down, a Porsche steering wheel-shaped rotor, and it comes with a miniature model of the original Porsche 911 “147.”

While the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph was launched a few years ago, it is now available in a new purple color, which is quite conspicuous and stylish.

TAG Heuer also rolled out two luxurious versions of the Carrera chronograph, covered in diamonds and high-end stones. It’s worth noting these timepieces are available in two colors—pink and blue.

The TAG Heuer Carrera Date, which was launched in different colors, has been reimagined. Unlike the previous models, the latest version comes with lighter colors, diamond indexes, and brushed surfaces for a more modern look. It takes the aesthetics of the Carrera Date to the next level.

H. Moser & Cie. revolutionizes motorsport partnerships with groundbreaking Alpine collaboration
Engineering excellence: H. Moser's Alpine Formula 1 collaboration produces groundbreaking dual timepiece release
H Moser Streamliner Alpine Drivers

Most luxury watch and automotive partnerships follow predictable formulas—logo swaps, color coordination, marketing spectacle. H. Moser & Cie. and Alpine Motorsports have rewritten these rules entirely, launching two revolutionary timepieces that represent genuine engineering collaboration rather than superficial branding exercises.
The partnership began with a provocative question: How can a two-hundred-year-old Swiss manufacturer genuinely support Formula 1 teams' quest for precision? The answer arrives through the Streamliner Alpine Drivers Edition and Streamliner Alpine Mechanics Edition—representing opposite ends of horological innovation while sharing the same pioneering spirit.
The Drivers Edition showcases the first skeleton version of H. Moser's acclaimed AgenGraphe movement, developed through direct dialogue with Alpine drivers seeking track-worthy elegance. V-shaped bridges echo Formula 1 suspension geometry, while the central bridge resembles a driver's helmet. The skeleton rotor mirrors the dynamics of the Alpine A110 wheel rim, creating organic connections between automotive and horological engineering with each wrist rotation.
This chronograph features central minute and seconds displays without subdials, emphasizing the minimalism and legibility crucial during high-speed competition. The flyback function enables instantaneous chronograph restart—because in Formula 1, as in Swiss watchmaking, every fraction of a second matters.
Revolutionary by contrast, the Mechanics Edition represents horological history: the first timepiece designed specifically as a working tool for Formula 1 teams. A mysterious black screen remains silent during standby, activating only with race-critical information including GMT with country selector, split-seconds chronograph, perpetual calendar, and a specialized F1 mode featuring countdown timers and race notifications.
"We wanted to create a measuring instrument that meets Formula 1 team demands," explains Edouard Meylan, CEO of H. Moser & Cie. "A tool designed to improve their race against the clock, their quest for every precious second."
The connected timepiece combines digital innovation with analog tradition through a small Funky Blue fumé dial, proving precision and Swiss elegance can coexist. Compatible with Android and iOS platforms, it operates autonomously while syncing via Bluetooth, with power reserves calibrated for one year in time-only mode or six Grand Prix weekends when connected.
Limited to 200 dual sets, these timepieces transcend traditional partnerships by addressing fundamental challenges through genuine engineering dialogue between industries obsessed with precision.
