A Closer Look at the fragment design x TAG Heuer Formula 1 Watch
The 2nd collaborative watch between fragment design and Tag Heuer.
In our latest Closer Look, we revisit the second collaboration between fragment design and TAG Heuer. Unlike the smaller and more vintage-inspired Carrera, the two focus their attention on the 44mm Formula 1 watch.
Where the first collaboration was more classic in its design, the TAG Heuer Formula 1 boasts more wrist presence with a sporty appeal. Borrowing cues from TAG Heuer’s C-Case from the ’60s and ’70s, the Formula 1 is a fitting watch for motor-racing enthusiasts with its hits of red marking the indices, hands and on the sapphire crystal display window — two lightning bolts along with the red tint allow you to see just enough of TAG Heuer’s in-house Heuer 02 movement.
Hiroshi Fujiwara adds his finishing touches in the form of a 5-row steel bracelet with a butterfly folding clasp. Limited to 500, this watch has already sold out on the TAG Heuer online store so those looking to get a hold of one of these will need to look on the secondary market where it will most likely be selling far over its $6,150 USD MSRP.
