Not sure if JC Biver is still at Tag Heuer or LVMH watch group but this looks like his fingerprints on it as it looks a lot like a Hublot.
No thanks.

I thought the same. I believe Biver is with LVMH formally but with a newer CEO (Fred Arnault, son of LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault) I suspect there is a lot of interchange going on. I think it’s a nice watch, just not for me. And I suspect that that the majority of clients were mainly earmarked before its release, probably significantly less than the 150 available for actual retail.

Sounds like a cash grab from Tag.

Titanium Carbon 150 pieces... Sounds good so far and if this was a Richard Mille it would be a super hot piece... But... Tag have made it too big, added a lame co-brand (I love Aston, and have owned one previously, but hate these co-brand watches) and used rose gold PLATED accents, not even rose gold?! What are they thinking?! Sent from my VOG-L09 using Tapatalk

And let's not mention the plastic movement holders in their "could have been a contender" Aquaracers. Looks like LVMH has their boot firmly on their necks and doesn't want them getting too nice.

So many other options for that price. You would have to be a Tag freak to drop the cash for that. No offense to Tag freaks

Call me lame, but I think it looks kinda cool, but no where in the $26k range cool, more like $900-$3k cool, but I like the watch itself.

I agree. That is until you see it in real life and like many of their other watches they’re just too big and bloated (and I wear a 44mm Panerai).

I think it looks nice, but I would not call it timeless, as I could imagine not liking the aesthetics in 10yrs...

Yes! I saw a freak at the ad here in Houston and it’s amazing! I’m surprised I don’t hear much about them.

Has any car/watch co-branding ever been succesful for any brand?

Not a fan of the cross promo and especially AM. Don't care for the car so would never buy any watch with their logo.
Second I don't think a Tag is worth that money. Maybe about $10K less and they will sell but I guarantee about 3 years after launch that is what you will be able to buy one for if you really must have it. |
