Over the last few years, the LVMH Watch department has used January to set the tone for the 12-month period ahead by announcing a handful of new watches.
The theme for TAG Heuer at the 2024 LVMH Watch Week? Let’s just say it’s a collection of mean, green, fightin’ machines that include everything from the legendary Carrera to the cutting-edge Connected watch.
While there will undoubtedly be plenty more reviews of TAG Heuer’s releases later in the year, let’s get into a few highlights we’ve already received a glimpse of this week.
RELATED: The Best TAG Heuer Watches
TAG Heuer Carrera “Dato” Chronograph
Of all of the modern Carrera watches we’ve seen in recent years, collectors favourites have always been the 39mm expressions, some of which feature the most vibrantly coloured dials you’ll see anywhere in the watch world.
Last year delivered a brilliant red model, as well as a “Glassbox” reference with an eye-catching deep blue dial, and this year, the Glassbox design returns with a similar verdant green of a few years ago. The difference is it now arrives with a single-register chronograph dial and a date window at 9 o’clock that’s a nod to the classic and highly collectable “Dato” references.
It showcases a classic twisted-lug case in stainless steel — which nicely blends mirrored and brushed finishings — a very wearable 13.86mm profile, and the 80-hour power reserve Calibre TH20-07 Automatic movement within.
TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph
The last two years have been about a renewed focus on TAG Heuer’s Aquaracer family, and in 2024, they’re back at it with a new line of Professional 200 Solargraph watches in the brand-new size of 34mm.
While the solar-powered Solargraph technology is something we’ve seen before, the 34mm size offers a more gender-neutral appeal, and the elevated ridges on the diving bezels are a neat throwback to early Aquaracer models in the 1980s.
Depending on the configuration of the new Professional 200 Solargraph, the prices range from $3,100 to $7,250.
TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon
Easily the biggest statement piece from LVMH Watch Week 2024 releases, the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon fuses the best of the lush green dial and Carrera case details, with a tour de force Calibre TH20-09 movement within.
Measuring a more impactful 42mm in diameter — yet retaining a wearable thickness of 14.33mm — its two chronograph subdials nicely flank the tourbillon aperture at 6 o’clock, which promises to be a perpetual source of visual entertainment.
TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 – 45mm
If you had any doubts green was leading the charge for watchmaking colour of the year, this latest generation of TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 arrives with a forest green ceramic bezel and matching rubber strap.
Measuring 45mm in diameter and housing all the connectivity, notification, health, and fitness benefits you’d expect from a Google-powered Wear OS device, the TAG Heuer Connected bridges the gulf between traditional luxury watchmaking and contemporary smartwatch technology.
