TAG Heuer Aquaracer Bamford Limited Edition - Hands-On, Price
Collaborations between watch brands and external designers or watch customizers are a growing thing in the industry, the idea being to infused a different take on the watch, less ‘horological’, more design-oriented. So what happens when TAG Heuer, the avant-garde brand known for its robust sports watches, meets Bamford Watch Department, the famous UK-based personalisation house? Well, it gives an original, overly-designed, slightly 1970s take on the brand’s dive watch, with an even more instrumental look. Here’s the bold and modern TAG Heuer Aquaracer Bamford Limited Edition.TAG Heuer and Bamford is a long-lasting love story.

A Day at the Races: with Tudor at the Historic Grand Prix in Zandvoort - Monochrome Watches
Cars and watches, a great combination, and this combi?comes with a very legitimate historical background. For the second year Tudor was sponsor of the Historic Grand Prix in Zandvoort and we got the chance to enjoy a great day with them in the Paddock Club, and of course strolling through the paddock to see so many awe-inspiring cars. From pre World War II cars, to recent Formula 1 race cars, from heavily tuned Mini Coopers, to dozens of vintage BMW 2002Ti’s and CSL’s, a marvellous Ferrari 250GT, many AC Cobras, and even a Shelby Daytona! And they all raced like the devil was chasing them. Old or not, these cars raced like crazy. We got to enjoy the best of two very interesting worlds: cars and watches!?As you’re probably well aware off, watches used to be purpose build mechanisms. As of the early 1900’s the watch, until then worn in a small vest pocket, and attached to a chain, slowly found their way to the wrist. And since cars also emerged around that time, m

Here’s the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph x Porsche 963.The name Carrera at TAG Heuer has incredible relevance in the field of motorsport. Its name already bears a strong connection with racing, being named after the legendary Carrera Panamericana race… which coincidentally is also a name long associated with Porsche and its 356 and 911 race cars. Since then, both names have been synon
