Thanks to its striking designs which always reflect the zeitgeist, Swatch is one of the leading watch manufacturers and the most sought-after brands in the world — and has always stayed true to itself. The company surprises again and again, whether it be with regularly released new models or special collections. The revolutionary way in which Swatch thinks and acts has always been evident with its early involvement in action sports, such as BMX, skateboarding and surfing. The Swatch Art Peace Hotel in Shanghai embodies the brand’s love of art and brings together artists from around the world.
Tag Heuer
Tag Heuer is one of the pioneers of watchmaking, especially thanks to its Carrera, Link and Formula One collections. The Swiss company is known for its collections of sports watches, luxury watches and chronograph models for timekeeping. Since 1860, Tag Heuer has combined technical innovation and contemporary design to create watches of legendary status inspired by the automobile world. The sleek, elegant, anti-conformist Tiger Monaco Calibre Heuer 02 automatic is one of the company’s iconic models, along with the Aquaracer Calibre 5 automatic and the Formula 1 41mm. Prestigious watches that can be passed down from generation to generation.
