Swiss luxury watchmaker TAG Heuer and Stuttgart-headquartered car maker Porsche announced the commencement of a longtime partnership with the launch of a new automatic chronograph. Launched online last Thursday, the TAG Heuer Carrera Porsche Chronograph Special Edition comes in a 44mm case, and is fitted with either a soft calf leather strap with Porsche-inspired stitching, or an interlocking bracelet. 鈥淲hat I really love about this watch is that it鈥檚 a Carrera sport chronograph infused with subtle and elegant design codes of Porsche,鈥 said TAG Heuer CEO Frederic Arnault. A bright red 鈥淧orsche鈥 inscription is engraved on the ceramic bezel which also features a tachymeter scale, while a textured dial is reminiscent of asphalt which TAG says 鈥減erfectly expresses a passion for the road.鈥 Arabic numbers reflect the same style as that on the instrumentation of a Porsche vehicle. The watch is equipped with a Heuer 02 movement boasting 80 hours of power reserve; even the oscillating mass of the automatic chronograph is redesigned with inspiration from Porsche鈥檚 iconic steering wheel.
