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.

What sailors in the Race to Mackinac, America’s oldest freshwater race, wear on their wrists
The race from Chicago to Mackinac Island is a days-long battle against the Great Lakes. In that kind of contest, you need a watch as tough as the job.
Boat, Sailboat, Transportation

The Race to Mackinac has been run since 1898, when five boats set out from Chicago. Today it covers 333 statute miles up Lake Michigan, crosses into Lake Huron at the Straits of Mackinac, and finishes off Mackinac Island — and it is not an easy voyage. It is also not a gentle one. Sustained gales flattened big chunks of the fleet in 1911, 1937, and 1970, and after a deadly storm in 2011, the Mac's reputation for danger stopped being theoretical. The fastest boats finish absurdly quickly now, with an all-time record of 18 hours and 50 minutes set back in 1998, but most crews are out there for two or three nights. The sailors alternate, sleeping in shifts of four hours each, until they (hopefully) make land.

It might seem tough to imagine doing that once — now, try doing it two dozen more. For those who make the journey at least 25 times, the prize is entry into the Island Goats Sailing Society, founded in 1959 and now several hundred strong. Rack up 25 Chicago Macs and 25 from Port Huron, and you become a Double Goat. The nickname, as the story goes, comes from the aroma a crew carries after days at sea with no shower. All things considered, this is a tough, electric, occasionally dangerous race. The Chicago Yacht Club hosts the race annually in mid-July, and that's exactly where I went to look at watches.
