A Timeless Gift They Will Never Forget
There is an indefinable power that comes with a TAG Heuer watch. Perhaps it’s the Swiss heritage, our passion, and the precision engineering, or perhaps it’s the integrated technology, stylish elegance, and iconic designs that have stood the test of time. Whether it’s the motor-racing inspired limited-edition Jack Heuer-Autavia, sported by Steve McQueen for him, the revitalised classic design of the Link Lady adorned with diamond bezel for her, or the Connected Modular 45 smartwatch editions for each other, nothing can compare to the elation of receiving a true icon. This year, give a gift that means so much more. Give them TAG Heuer.
For Him
TAG Heuer Link Calibre 5
The sleek, sporty and sophisticated Link Calibre 5 is celebrating 30 years since its launch with a masterful makeover. It’s understated contemporary detailing by legendary designer Eddy Schöpfer, is accented by a larger 41mm diameter, and retains its signature S-shaped links on its iconic bracelet, for enhanced ergonomics and comfort. Epitomising avant-garde design and timeless elegance, the Link for men is available with three dial variations: black, silver-plated and blue sunray, offering TAG Heuer’s most comfortable bracelet in an even sharper and more elegant design.
Jack Heuer – Autavia
To celebrate Jack Heuer’s 85th birthday, TAG Heuer launched a limited edition version of the famous Autavia chronograph. Based on the rugged, reckless, and exciting lifestyle of Formula 1 drivers, who at the time epitomized a fearless, adrenaline-fuelled, elite, and fast-paced lifestyle, the Autavia was the chronograph of choice for racing daredevils including Formula 1 champion Jochen Rindt, and infamous petrol-head and Hollywood actor Steve McQueen. This exclusive new reissue is limited to 1932 pieces – in reference to the year of Jack’s birth – has been designed by Jack Heuer himself. The timepiece is both modern and faithful to its roots, capturing the spirit of golden age motor racing. The Autavia, along with these legendary talismanic figures, will forever embody the exhilarating world of horsepower and adrenaline, where everything can change in less than a second.

With just 150 to ever be produced, the UAE specific reinterpretation of the 2017 Autavia reedition combines all the heritage of its 1960s ancestor with TAG Heuer’s contemporary precision, functionality and Middle Eastern cues. This timepiece was inspired by the automotive heritage shared by the UAE and TAG Heuer, and pays tribute to the UAE through its tropical dial, reminiscent of desert sands.
Developed in partnership with Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, Tag Heuer launched the first nine pieces of the UAE Autavia during Dubai Watch Week in November. During December 70 more will be released, and the final 71 in the New Year. Each watch will have its specific production number engraved from ‘001’ to ‘150’ and will only be available in the UAE. The Autavia is an iconic timepiece loved by collectors, and a unique UAE edition will only add to its history and legend, making it a desirable collector’s item.
TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 01 43MM
The Carrera Calibre 01, so named because it was the first of a new generation of chronographs, is a classic yet contemporary sports watch inspired by motor racing. A subtle nod to the fast-paced world of racing is reflected in the movement’s Chrono functions which are identified by a red hue, the iconic shade of some of the world’s most classic racing car designs. This year, the famous proprietary chronograph is being unveiled with a slightly smaller diameter of 43mm, in a choice of three versions: intense black, deep navy blue and an elegant cognac brown.

For Her
New Link Lady

With an elegant diameter of 32mm, the new curved profile of the bracelet, and the stylized, sophisticated finishing the Link Lady is striking in its appearance, accented by the polished shine of brushed S-links, and the iridescent appeal of all the dials in mother-of-pearl. The Link has become the standard in comfort, while different colour variations, incorporating a layer of blue-grey or black lacquer radiate an enhanced sophisticated hue. The date window at the 3 o’clock position and polished faceted indices complete the classically chic look.LINK printed at 6 o’clock
