In a remarkable tribute to six decades of innovation and craftsmanship, TAG Heuer and Porsche have joined forces once again to present the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronosport Collection. This new lineup celebrates the 60th anniversaries of the TAG Heuer Carrera series and the Porsche 911, two icons that have defined their respective industries. The collection features two stunning models that are a fusion of precision engineering, timeless design, and a shared legacy of excellence.
The first model, ref. CBS2011.FC6529, is encased in finely brushed and polished stainless steel. This 42mm watch features a box-domed sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective coating, offering a clear view of the intricate TH20-08 automatic chronograph movement. The movement operates at a frequency of 28800 (4Hz) and boasts an impressive 80-hour power reserve. The dial is a work of art, featuring a shimmering silver finish and a black Porsche-inspired 60-second scale on the flange. Carole Kasapi, Movements Director at TAG Heuer, emphasized that the idea behind the Chronosprint was to create a product that parallels the aesthetics of a car and a watch movement.
The second model, ref. CBS2040.FC8318, is a luxurious timepiece housed in a 42mm 18K 5N solid rose gold case (be sure to check our list of the best gold watches for men). It’s complemented by a brown calfskin leather bracelet embossed with the original 911 logo. The dial is striking, adorned with red accents and a dual shimmering beige and black 60-second scale on the flange, along with the iconic Porsche inscription. Both models feature an oscillating mass at the rear, inspired by the design of a Porsche steering wheel.
The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronosprint x Porsche – Steel Edition is priced at approximately $10,077, while the Gold Edition retails for around $25,752. Both are available for purchase from authorized dealers starting September.
This isn’t the first time TAG Heuer and Porsche have collaborated. Their partnership dates back to 2021, with multiple limited edition models released since then, including one that honored the 50th anniversary of the famed Porsche 911 R.S. 2.7. Frédéric Arnault, CEO of TAG Heuer, said that the watch encapsulates the essence of the motorsport universe, a shared value in their partnership with Porsche. The latest collection is a testament to the enduring legacy of both brands, which debuted their iconic models – the Carrera chronograph and the 911 sportscar – in 1963.
In a world where precision engineering and timeless design are highly valued, the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronosport Collection sets a new standard. This collaboration between TAG Heuer and Porsche is not just a celebration of their shared history, but also a promising glimpse into the future of luxury timepieces and automotive design.
