The Carrera collection is getting a facelift at TAG Heuer, with chronographs that combine technology with elegance.

Sporty, elegant, classic or vintage chic, whatever your style, the top watch brands have you covered and for under CHF 5,000. Quartz or mechanical, colour or black and white, the choice is yours.

Past months have seen the chronograph's popularity soar. Dressed up or dressed down, this useful complication is a symbol of precision.

Summer is always a great pretext to ditch monochrome in favour of brighter, sunnier shades. With more and more watchmakers lavishing colour on their dials, the opportunity is too good to miss.

Established by Edouard Heuer in 1860, TAG Heuer is enjoying a year-long celebration of its 160th anniversary with new iterations of the Carrera. Three new models have already been unveiled, with more to come in September.

Every year we find ourselves grappling with the same problem of choosing a dive watch for summer and with so much on offer, brands clearly have no intention of making this an easy decision.

The TAG Heuer Carrera 160 Years Montreal Limited Edition, a colourful creation that pays homage to the brand’s heritage, blends the 1972 Montreal timepiece with the TAG Heuer Carrera of today.

A freediving champion, an explorer and film-maker, a Haute Couture designer, surfers, skippers, actors... brands choose them not for who they are but for what they do. Introducing the new faces of watchmaking.
