TAG Heuer And Porsche Announce Historic Partnership

Few watch brands have such a tight connection with the world of car racing as TAG Heuer. As this sport rose to new heights after World War II, Heuer as the brand was called back then, was there on the journey with it. TAG Heuer has especially a special connection with Porsche. Not only share many watches their name with that of a Porsche, the brand also sponsored prominent Porsche drivers such as Jo Siffert, who was very successful with the legendary Porsche 917. Later on, Steve McQueen would drive the same type of Porsche in perhaps his biggest movie ever; Le Mans. Here, not only would his overall sport the Heuer logo, just as Siffert, but there was also a Heuer chronograph around his wrist. TAG Heuer CEO Frédéric Arnault has brought the two legendary names together again by forging a partnership with one of the world's most prominent sports car manufacturers.
