An Analogous Triumph

TAG Heuer impressed at LVMH Watch Week with its Connected series, but it also proves that a great analogue watch can hold its own against the bells and whistles of smartwatches

An Analogous Triumph

LVMH WATCH WEEK was a resounding success, and a great augur of the kind of watch-centric events from the world's leading maisons that we can expect in Singapore.

On the first day of Watch Week, we heard a visiting British watch enthusiast exclaim happily, "We're spoiled rotten!" And there is a lot of truth in that, in the number and quality of pieces that the participating maisons Bulgari, Hublot, Zenith and TAG Heuer - have introduced specially for the event.

TAG Heuer, for example, introduced eight new impressive timepieces, including three in its Connected series of smartwatches.

One of the most impressive TAG Heuer pieces to feature at LVMH Watch Week was the Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph, rightfully touted as the ultimate outdoors companion.

The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph is the exciting new addition to the Aquaracer collection introduced in 2004, and the latest iteration of the Solargraph expression introduced at last year's Watches and Wonders.

CARRERA CHRONOGRAPH 60TH ANNIVERSARY PRICE + SPECS

Case 39 mm steel-polished with 100 metres water resistance

Movement Calibre Heuer 02 Automatic

Price $$10,400 Limited to 600 pieces

Coming in a formidable yet sleek sandblasted titanium grade two case and a black Sunray brushed dial, the Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph combines a deceptive lightness with its impressive durability.
