Embodying the Modern Vintage Watch


The collaboration model between TAG Heuer and Hiroshi Fujiwara, the "TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 02 by Fragment Hiroshi Fujiwara," has been announced. This collaboration commemorates the 55th anniversary of the "TAG Heuer Carrera," which debuted in 1963.

Fujiwara handled the entire design, bringing to life the watch he envisioned.

Its distinctive appearance, featuring a compact 39mm case, domed crystal, and beige indices, evokes the original model from the Carrera's debut. Inside, it houses the in-house Calibre Heuer 02 automatic movement.

With a classical design housing a state-of-the-art movement, it has been crafted into a model befitting the description of a modern vintage watch.

The watch comes with two strap options: a black leather strap and a black and grey NATO strap, allowing for combinations to suit your attire or mood.

Jean-Claude Biver, Chairman of the LVMH Watchmaking Division, commented on this collaboration: "Hiroshi Fujiwara is the ideal partner to reinterpret this iconic model. We gave him complete creative freedom, and the result is truly exceptional."

Fujiwara himself stated, "We created something that people might not expect from TAG Heuer's current collection. There aren't many new watches I desire, but this is one of them."

Born from a special collaboration, this model is poised to become a sought-after collector's item.
