TAG Heuer and Porsche tribute a sports car with two new watches reminiscent of car acceleration.
The extraordinary cooperation between TAG Heuer and Porsche began in 2021. The two parties established a global partnership to pay tribute to their shared history and values of pursuing quality, innovation, and exemplary reputation. The two major brands have joined hands to launch a new masterpiece grandly – the TAG Heuer Carrera series (Carerra) Porsche Chronosprint chronograph, released in two versions.
The two timepieces combine the elements of watches and cars to bring an unparalleled timekeeping experience.
Frédéric Arnault, CEO of TAG Heuer, said: “This watch fully illustrates the essence of motorsport and our partnership with Porsche. We use cutting-edge technology and unique design to combine the Porsche 911 and TAG Heuer Carrera series. The tradition of the two brands is seamlessly integrated. This initiative is a testament to the two brands’ shared values of pursuing high precision and innovation, as well as a deep understanding of their respective histories.”
The power of precision
Since the launch of the first epoch-making product in 1963, the Porsche 911 has always attracted countless car enthusiasts with its unremitting pursuit of high performance, high precision, and innovation. Astonishingly, this iconic sports car accelerated from 0 to 100 kilometers in just 9.1 seconds, further demonstrating the power, agility, and engineering prowess of early Porsche 911 models.
The acceleration performance of the Porsche 911 is impressive, demonstrating Porsche’s pursuit of performance and innovation. This laid the foundation for future generations of Porsche 911 to challenge the limits and set new records for speed and driving dynamics.
In 1963, the Heuer Carrera watch made its debut. The design of this watch was carefully considered and clearly expressed the philosophy of Jack Heuer. Inspired by the classic Carrera Panamericana road race, Jack Heuer decided to name it Carrera. This watch embodies the spirit of racing and is both practical and functional. Its design is simple, easy to read, without unnecessary embellishments, and will not distract the wearer.
Sixty years later, in 2023, TAG Heuer once again pays tribute to Porsche’s extraordinary achievements in the field of racing. The outstanding TAG Heuer Carrera Series Porsche Chronosprint watch is a revolutionary design and conceptual timepiece in real life. Whether it is a stainless steel or gold version, it is a tribute to the iconic status of the Porsche 911 and its outstanding performance heritage, fusing the spirit of Porsche’s pioneering achievements with TAG Heuer’s unremitting pursuit of excellence.

Acceleration shining like gold, precision as firm as steel
TAG Heuer has launched a new movement in the industry action as a tribute to precision and speed. This is the brand-made TH20 movement launched at the 2023 “Watches & Wonders” Geneva Advanced Watch Fair—a new interpretation of the core.
Its central hand accelerates rapidly after starting, gradually decelerates within 60 seconds, and then restarts quickly. The watch’s design ensures the dial is clear and easy to read.
The unique mechanism of this movement features two snail gears that create a fascinating decelerating campaign for the central hands. These gears result from cutting-edge technology, namely the LiGA process, widely used in the microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) industry. The TH20-08 movement represents TAG Heuer’s commitment to high precision, exquisite craftsmanship, and eye-catching design, setting a new standard in the watchmaking industry.

A masterpiece made of metal
These two coveted timepieces have been crafted to be beautiful, unique, and unforgettable. They are a tribute to a glorious past and exude an inspiring connotation. This timepiece is available in steel and gold versions, which display unique design concepts.
The visual presentation of speed and acceleration on the watch dial is eye-catching. The red line on the outer edge of the dial reflects the achievement of accelerating to 100 kilometers in just 9.1 seconds, as a tribute to the first Porsche 911. This dynamic element adds movement and vitality to the timepiece.
More clever red details are incorporated throughout the watch, adding automotive-inspired embellishments. The sub-dial at 6 o’clock references Porsche’s iconic dashboard design from the 1970s: the dial area near 50 kilometers per hour is emphasized to indicate the recommended speed on urban roads.
The red area on the sub-dial at 9 o’clock is also a tribute to the rich historical heritage of sports cars. Its function is to remind the critical limit of the engine. Exceeding this limit may cause engine damage. It is no accident that TAG Heuer sets this red line at 6.8 hours. It refers to the speed limit of 6800 rpm. Not to be overlooked, the watch’s chronograph hands draw inspiration from corresponding shapes on car dashboards, completing the integrated automotive design aesthetic.
Even more surprising is that the TAG Heuer Carrera Series Porsche Chronosprint watch reaches a new level of innovation with its double-sided “Glassbox” design. The name “glassbox” comes from the watch’s dome-shaped curved mirror, a tribute to the similar dome-shaped hesalite synthetic organic glass mirror design in the 1970s. The redesigned mirror curve seamlessly connects above the outer edge of the dial, covering the rim of the dial and integrating with the case.
The stainless steel version has a bright silver dial and outer edge, while the gold version has a luminous beige dial and outer edge, exuding an elegant temperament. These two unique timepieces are each paired with a specially designed TAG Heuer and Porsche co-branded watch box decorated with gold and stainless steel colors reminiscent of the watch.
The TAG Heuer Carrera Series Porsche Chronosprint watch seamlessly integrates exquisite watchmaking craftsmanship with excellent automotive performance, representing the pinnacle of the cooperation between the two legendary brands. With the same commitment to outstanding quality, high performance, and timeless design, TAG Heuer and Porsche again highlight their shared history and passion for racing.
TAG Heuer and Porsche work together to create more than just a watch; it is a valid symbol of the passion and expertise of both parties. These timepieces jointly embody the spirit of the pursuit of speed, precision, and endless inheritance. They are physical witnesses of the unswerving pursuit of excellence by both brands.
