Default New Tag Heuer 992 Announcement?

I am big Tag Heuer fan and received an email today about a upcoming new announcement on Feb 4th. The silhouette in the email looks like a 992. Looking forward to seeing if there is a connection next month and possibly a new watch coming out.

Me too. I really like TH. I like watches but I don’t care for a lot of bling on them —diamonds and other stones.

I like the stainless steel band/casing (Rolex explorer 2) and the large bezel and case on the TH carrera watch.

I’d really like a TH in a large stainless case and stainless band.

Interesting bc that does appear to be a current 911 silhouette. I also wouldn't connect the Porsche brand with a brand like Tag - not disparaging Tag but that was the watch I had after graduating college, alongside a VW GTI. I've always been more of an Omega guy for everyday watches, seems to be more aligned to Porsche 911 high performance yet discrete type of feel.

TAG has been a major sponsor of Porsche for a long time now; especially in Porsche Motorsport. Including FE, IMSA, WEC, etc. I would have to agree though. I don’t technically correlate the Porsche brand with Tag Heuer like I would with; say - Omega/Patek/Rolex.

Although TAG x Porsche has become pretty synonymous in Motorsport.

TH has a Carrera line - so could be a collab.

I bought a Carrera Calibre Heuer 02 just about a year ago, my first watch. It was a premonition to getting my first Porsche, 6 months later.

Bought my first TAG H. Carrera Special Edition 10 years ago, and finally bought a car to match it, LOL.

The watches are currently at authorized dealers. My friend saw it yesterday...



That being said, the trolls are not fans... (see comments from the r&t article https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a3...ivers-watches/

I'm no watch collector but this is very nice IMHO. I'm on board with other guys who find those Rolex Presidents with the tacky diamonds around the face to be gross and tasteless.

Is this the first time they've co-branded like this? It's not as if the Carrera sub-brand is new to either of them.

I think that you would find that the vast majority of Rolex owners, including day-date owners, would agree with you.

I'm a little baffled by this. I love watches, and have two Tag's myself, a LINK Calibre 16 Chrono, and an Aquaracer Automatic Chrono Calibre 45, but Porsche also has their own in-house watches, including Porsche Design, and the new Design Your Own Porsche Watches with Configurator based off the Chronotimer Series 1 (IIRC). Porsche has also previously collaborated with IWC Scaffhausen. Definitely always thought it was a good idea to combine the Tag Carrera line with a Porsche model though, but seems strange they would cannibalize their own line with a competing watch series from Tag. Whatever, more choice is a good thing for consumers and watch aficionados.

I know many Rolex owners, former owner myself and yes this is the general consensus from my world.

Nice to see Tag went with a manufacture movement for this. Wish they had some options for dial color, not a huge fan of the metallic grey. This would look really good in Gentian Blue or Black.

For racing/driving oriented watches I much prefer Chopard's MM line. They are beautiful pieces. Especially the GTS flavors. If I was going for something very specific to the 911 I really like the PD custom pieces (although expensive).
