The TAG Heuer-Fragment Design collector’s timepiece

How about a collector’s timepiece with a power reserve of 80 hours? This is the TAG Heuer x Fragment Design Heuer 02 chronograph, a second collaboration between the luxury watch brand and renowned musician and watch aficionado Hiroshi Fujiwara. The timepiece features a daring red sapphire case back fitted with the manufacture Calibre Heuer 02 movement, which builds on the success of its first collaboration with the Japanese designer via his label Fragment Design in 2018. This latest partnership has resulted in a bold yet minimalistic limited-edition novelty that reflects TAG Heuer’s motor-racing heritage and bold design principles, with high-end finishes, a ceramic bezel and a fiery red sapphire case back. There are only 500 pieces available. True to his minimalistic style, Fujiwara has kept the watch to its bare essentials to emphasise the iconic tachymeter scale on the bezel.

On the black opaline dial are two black embossed subcounters at three and nine o’clock, contrasting against white lettering and logos, and a simple date window at six o’clock. The red and lacquered central hand give the dial indices contrast, resulting in a bold and elegant 44mm timepiece that is easy to read.

In addition, an exclusive new feature — a five-row steel bracelet with a butterfly folding clasp — is finely polished and brushed to catch the light with every movement of the wrist. The watch is available for pre-order on www.tagheuer.com and select boutiques.
