TAG Heuer’s “Mastering Speed for 150 Years” Formula One Party perfectly evokes the brand’s motor racing heritage

TAG Heuer created a fascinating world of racing at its Formula One Party on the eve of the Formula One main race at one of Shanghai’s landmarks of fashion, the Red Town, accurately recreating the feeling of the speed, passion, and cutting-edge fashion of the Formula One. TAG Heuer global ambassador Lewis Hamilton joined celebrities Elva Hsiao, Guangjie Li, Bei Pei, and a hundred or so special guests to enjoy the exhilaration of this evening’s festivities.

“Mastering Speed for 150 Years” comes from the deep relationship that TAG Heuer has forged with the world of automobile racing, having provided the most advanced and most accurate timing racing equipment for the past century and a half while also discovering and supporting drivers for top racing teams. The constant progress in the art of racing over the years has inspired TAG Heuer to make innovations in watch making and constantly challenge the limits of timekeeping precision. In China, TAG Heuer has invited young people who are passionate about racing and precison to “Race Against Time” with them, providing a taste of the speed and passion of racing and getting the whole city excited about the art of timekeeping.

For racing fans that enjoyed the Formula One qualifying races during the day, the world of racing created by TAG Heuer later that night at the Formula One Party was definitely a thrilling conclusion to the day. The passion for speed filled Shanghai’s Red Town as the roar of engines reverberated in the night air, and the giant racecar instrument panel at the entrance and the racetrack warning marks on the street recreated the atmosphere the Formula One track, making you feel like a Formula One racecar might zoom past at any minute. When you entered the party, there were giant portraits of famous drivers bringing TAG Heuer’s racing legend to life in full color detail. Legendary drivers Steve McQueen, Lewis Hamilton, and Jenson Button were there to testify to the cutting-edge performance of TAG Heuer. In the center of the dance floor, 2 racing simulators were set up for guests to enjoy the excitement of racing in famous tracks around the world.

The special guests in attendance that night included executives from TAG Heuer as well as television, film, and music superstars from around the world such as Elva Hsiao, Guangjie Li, and Bei Pei. On the red carpet, Guangjie Li wore a debonair jacket matched with cool dark sunglasses, which gave him the look of a gentleman racecar driver. Meanwhile, Bei Pei dressed extravagantly as the quintessential modern girl. When Elva Hsiao appeared on the red carpet, she became the center of attention.  Accompanied by the exciting beats of the well-known DJ Devin Luciun, the guests enjoyed the specially prepared cocktails on the dance floor and immersed themselves in a night overflowing with excitement.

The high point of this event was undoubtedly the appearance of Formula One world champion driver Lewis Hamilton, whose arrival immediately sent waves of excitement through the crowd. Especially lucky were the fans who got a chance to interact with him during the racing simulator, which turned out to be the climax of the night. The carefully designed computer game platform allowed people to view TAG Heuer’s exclusive Formula One racecar simulation game on the big screen. The realistic racetrack scene allowed the guests to experience the thrilling speed of a Formula One racecar as if they were really there. No one at the party could keep their eyes off the simulated race as Lewis Hamilton used his flawless racing skills to attract everyone. It was amazing how smoothly he used the brakes, took the turns, and drifted. It was apparent to everyone that TAG Heuer really knows how to discover and cultivate racing talent. TAG Heuer discovered Lewis Hamilton on the racetrack in the UK back in 2003 and immediately invited him to join the TAG Heuer Renault formula car racing team. After that, Lewis Hamilton’s racing career took off like a rocket, as he soon became an unbeatable driver. Whenever he stood on the winner’s podium after a Formula One race, you could see a TAG Heuer watch on his wrist which always accompanied him in his victories.

Taking a look back at the past, TAG Heuer’s close cooperation with top drivers can be traced back to the very beginning of the Formula One championship era. In 1969, TAG Heuer became the first watch brand to get involved in sponsoring drivers by working together with Jo Siffert, a relationship that has become the stuff of legend. After that, many more drivers became ambassadors for TAG Heuer such as legendary drivers Jacky Ickx, David Coulthard, and Jenson Button. Famous Formula One world champions such as Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna, Fernando Alonso, and Mika Häkkinen also closely worked with TAG Heuer over the years.

The Formula One championship is a world-class event that perfectly displays the combination of intelligence, passion, and vitality and represents the peak of technology and the courage to constantly challenge limits. This perfectly fits with the avant-garde innovation and pioneering spirit” that TAG Heuer has always endeavored to follow.

TAG HEUER AND AUTOMOBILE CLUB DE MONACO SIGN PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

 As part of its 2011 “Mastering Speed” commemoration of its most famous source of inspiration — a century and a half of professional motorsports — TAG Heuer is proud to announce a new partnership with the Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM).

 The agreement makes TAG Heuer the Official Watch and Chronograph, Eyewear and Timing Partner of the ACM and its events. For 2011, these include some of the most prestigious and glamorous moments in motor sports: the F1 Grand Prix of Monaco, the Monte Carlo Rally, the Monte Carlo Historic Rally, the Monaco Rally of Alternative Energies and the Monaco Kart Cup.

 “Partnering with the Automobile Club de Monaco in this important year is a great honour,” said Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of TAG Heuer. “We look forward to working side by side with the ACM in their pits and paddocks, and helping to promote their legendary races throughout the TAG Heuer world.”

 

“We wanted to work with a prestigious watch brand that is a reference in international motorsports,” said Michel Boéri, President of ACM. “TAG Heuer was the obvious choice. We are already linked with them through the Monaco, the iconic watch worn by Steve McQueen, and we share the same values of prestige and performance. With its unrivalled roster of F1 champion ambassadors, and its heritage of watches and chronographs inspired by 150 years of automobile racing, TAG Heuer symbolizes the best in racing.”

 “TAG Heuer has now established itself as the key watch brand of the most important tracks and events in motorsports,” said Jean-Christophe Babin. “Through our partnerships with the ACM at Monaco, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes in F1, Audi Sport for Le Mans and Endurance racing, and our longstanding role as Official Watch of the mythical Indy 500, TAG Heuer is precisely where it wants to be — in the pole position.”

 TAG Heuer kicks off its 2011 “Mastering Speed” celebrations with a special exhibition of historic racecars and TAG Heuer timepieces in the Halle Sécheron in Geneva from January 17-20. The event also marks the premiere unveiling of the Swiss watch brand’s newest breakthrough creation, the Heuer CARRERA MIKROGRAPH 1/100th Second Chronograph, the first integrated mechanical timepiece with 1/100th of a second display by a central hand.

 The “Mastering Speed” exhibition showcases 10 cars that have made an indelible mark in the motor racing history of TAG Heuer and in international motorsport in general. These include those driven by the brand’s racing ambassadors, including F1 great Juan Manuel Fangio’s Mercedes W196, Clay Regazzoni’s Ferrari F1 312 B3, the World Champions McLarens F1 cars of Ayrton Senna, Mika Hakkinen and Lewis Hamilton, and the Audi R15+ TDI winner of Le Mans 24 Hours. Also in the show are iconic TAG Heuer timepieces and chronographs directly inspired by motor racing. These include the Formula 1 series, created in homage to TAG Heuer’s long association with F1 racing, as well as the indomitable timepieces named after the most famous driving competitions in motorsports: the Monaco, the Silverstone, the Carrera, and the Monza.

 The “Mastering Speed” exhibition will tour other cities in 2011 as part of TAG Heuer’s ambitious “150 Years of Motor Racing” celebrations.

Tutima Grand Classic Models Makes Steel Even Stronger

Uncompromising mechanical quality combined with maximum functionality has always been the staple at Tutima. Based on more than 70 years’ experience in the manufacture of professional chronographs, Tutima can deliver the reliability that has earned the trust of top-level sportsmen and NATO pilots.

 Thanks to an innovative new process, the new Tutima Grand Classic cases made of hardened stainless steel can cope with even the toughest of demands.  Unlike conventional hardening processes, Tutima uses a unique method which takes several days to complete and allows the hardening process to penetrate deep into the core of the metal.  This not only allows the metal to achieve its maximum strength, but further protects the steel from scratches and renders it virtually corrosion-proof.  In addition, Tutima has applied to the new cases and steel bracelets, a chip-proof black PVD (physical vapor deposition) coating, which is nearly as hard as ceramic. This further step of applying PVD results in an even more durable product and an attractive and new look for the brand.

 These new Grand Classic models from Tutima feature unique dials inspired by vintage 1930’s Tutima sports watches from Glashütte.
