As a huge watch collector with a strong passion for the fashion and watch world, J. Balvin is thrilled to join the brand and collaborate on new projects together. “A central part of my style is to remain yourself, and since I have loved TAG Heuer watches for years, and worked with them previously in Colombia, I’m excited to partner with them on a new level and join the ranks of global brand ambassadors that I hold great respect for, like Cristiano Ronaldo and David Guetta,” Balvin said.
