TAG Heuer and Porsche have done it again! Peek at the new TAG Heuer Carrera x Porsche Limited Edition, the perfect sporty watch for car enthusiasts and timepiece collectors alike

The luxurious world of watches is so often a realm that naturally appeals to plenty of gearheads and car enthusiasts alike. The connection, in fact, stretches back to the early 1900s when some of the first chronographs were used by racecar drivers to measure their race times more accurately.

To this day, this shared affinity for remarkable engineering and design is cultivated by many, and is further celebrated by illustrious icons like TAG Heuer and Porsche, who, since last year, have ventured together to fuel a synergetic passion and honour their intertwined heritage.

Marking the second year of their fruitful partnership, the newly released TAG Heuer Carrera x Porsche Limited Edition turns the signature sports chronograph on its head, now powered by TAG Heuer’s astounding in-house Calibre Heuer 02 movement and enhanced by Porsche’s dashing aesthetic appeal.

Inspired by the Porsche Racing Yellow Pantone, touches of the bright colour add stunning contrast to the boldly black timepiece—as seen in the emblematic yellow lines and stitching, the Porsche logo on the bezel, and in several minute details all over the watch.

Textures also play a key role in elevating the TAG Heuer Carrera x Porsche Limited Edition to become quite the marvel. The shiny black dial crafted with diamond-like carbon exude the elegance of a car’s metallic bodywork, while the oscillating weight visible through the sapphire glass case back pays homage to the famous Porsche steering wheel.

The leather straps, too, have been treated to have a fabric-like, textured finish, taking on the look of seat upholstery and tying in all elements to create a stunning sports watch with undeniable charm.

Avid Concours aficionados might also appreciate the tribute to the legendary Carrera Panamericana, known to be one of the most dangerous races in the world. Compelled by the thrill of the race and its spirit, Jack Heuer created the first Carrera wristwatch in 1963 and Porsche unveiled the principal 911 Carrera within the same decade.

Since then, both brands have pursued the legacy of the Carrera through continued innovation, and the TAG Heuer Carrera x Porsche Limited Edition is no doubt its latest hallmark to crest such a stellar history. We can only hope to see more from this fated pairing in the future.


The limited-edition timepiece is available at the TAG Heuer Boutiques by April 2022. For enquiries and information, click here.
