There’s no better way to celebrate the legacy of arguably the world’s best Formula One driver than with his namesake TAG Heuer chronographs

Often voted as the best and most influential Formula 1 driver of all time, the late Ayrton Senna won the legendary Monaco Grand Prix for the very first time in 1987 (the first of his record six victories at the storied Grand Prix). To celebrate this momentous occasion from 30 years ago, TAG Heuer is honoured to welcome his niece Bianca senna to the inauguration of its new boutique in Monaco, for the exclusive preview of a pair of new luxury watches: TAG Heuer Ayrton senna Chronograph Limited Editions.

Instruments for measuring split-second increments of time, a worthy celebration for a career bookmarked with three world championship titles (1988, 1990 and 1991), 65 pole positions, and 41 Grand Prix victories, the new TAG Heuer Ayrton senna Chronograph Limited Editions acknowledge Magic senna’s lasting Formula one legacy as one of the greatest drivers of all time.
