TAG Heuer And Porsche Join Forces For The Legends Of Panamericana
Throughout history, Porsche and TAG Heuer have crossed paths on many occasions. This has led to a long and extensive partnership of the two legendary manufacturers, with watches and timekeeping on one end, and high-performance sports and racing cars on the other. Not only do the two brands share history on-track but also off-track, with special edition watches such as the Carrera Chronosprint x Porsche being a very recent example. Celebrating the 75th anniversary of Porsche, as well as the 70th anniversary of the Carrera Panamericana this year, a new collaborative project has just been released, which is inspired by one of the most significant Porsche racing cars in history; the humble Porsche 550 Coupe.?The carrera panamericanaThe Carrera Panamericana is simply put one of the most famous yet daunting road-racing events in history.

Hands-On - 2022 TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 in 40mm
Last year TAG Heuer revamped the well-known Aquaracer Professional range, the brand's long-standing dive watch collection. It featured an updated, more refined look that was in line with the collection's lineage that started with the 2000-series in the early 1980s. The DNA is especially apparent in the overall shape of the case, which is retained albeit updated in the latest collection. New for 2022 is the addition of a slightly less beefy and bulky diver, and we've already gotten our hands on it prior to the LVMH Watch Week. Here's the new 40mm TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200.The origins of the Aquaracer collection can be traced back to the early 1980s when TAG Heuer presented the 2000-series of watches. This series of dive and chronograph watches lasted until 2005, a year after TAG Heuer used the Aquaracer moniker for the first time. Since then, it has been a stable part of the brand's portfolio.

So enough experience to sit down and write about this watch that’s been on my wrist almost permanently for almost 9 months. My Sarpaneva Korona K1 was my first watch from an independent watchmaker and also my most luxurious/expensive watch ever. When Stepan Sarpaneva told me the watch that I ordered was ready, I booked a ticket to Helsinki to pick it up myself. Here you can read the report of my trip to Helsinki. Now it’s time for a review to share my experiences of owning and wearing a Sarpaneva Korona K1. In May of last year it was finally time. The months before had been an intense period. Of course a decision like this was not made overnight, so long lists of potential watches had to be narrowed down. Or maybe the decision was not so difficult, it was just me having difficulty with spending so much money on a watch.?When my decision w
