LVMH Watch Week 2023 - TAG Heuer
Jan 15, 2023,13:14 PM
Some snapshots of TAG Heuer pieces presented during the forth edition of the LVMH Watch Week 2023 at the Capella, Sentosa Island, Singapore.
Frédéric Arnault, CEO of TAG Heuer started the presentation ...
First to be introduced, 40mm Ti Grade 2 Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph. Never fear of low or no battery (and even change of battery) as the electronics developed jointly with La Joux-Perret, Calibre TH50-00, could recharge the watch to last the whole day with a mere 2-minute direct sun exposure. And a cumulative 20 hour under the sun, it could propel the watch for 6 months (with no additional light exposure). To jumpstart the watch from dead-stop, just expose to any light source for 10 seconds.

The Connected series, 3 new - E4 42mm Golf Edition, E4 All-Black Titanium Edition and E4 Sports Edition.
About 30 to 40 % of their current user base actively used the Connected Watch for Golf. This prompted the brand to put in more efforts to refine the Golf features in term of form (refocus of case size, material and even new rubber strap design for improved wrist holding) and functions like the new Full Shot Tracking functionality.
Any thoughts on the new Panda or Monza?
