1) THF1 Lady Glamour DiamondsAfter the huge success of its 2005 editions in white, pink or black with a fixed bezel adorned with 120 diamonds (total 0.75 carats), the THF1 Lady Glamour Diamonds is now available in the three trendy colours of this season's fashion catwalks: chocolate brown, anthracite grey, and maroon burgundy. For these three new references, the original satin strap has been replaced by Nizza, a new material that blends the elegance of satin with the resistance and durability of technical fabrics. Metal bracelet with a mix of polished and fine-brushed steel is offered, as well as a sporty TAG Heuer rubber strap for black or white dial. Embodied by the provocative and glamorous Maria Sharapova, this new edition will seduce all F1 Glamour Diamonds lovers.
2) Carrera Watch LadyCarrera, the iconic series first launched in 1964 and worn by racing legend Juan Manuel Fangio, typifies TAG Heuer's unique link with the world of motor sports. Today, an ultra-feminine collection of the Carrera have been conceived for the strong and sporty TAG Heuer woman, seeking a piece of the motor racing legend.
True to Carrera's iconic design aesthetics, the made-for-women Carrera Watch Lady reworks the Carrera magic in a more petite diameter (36mm), gentler case profile and finely-worked dial details that create superb feminine appeal. Equipped with precision TAG Heuer Calibre 5 automatic movement, this elegantly-crafted timepiece is available with a black or silver dial with "clous de Paris" central zone, and hand-applied numerals, indexes, and TAG Heuer logo, all encased in the sleek polished steel case. Or, dazzle with the steel and gold version with a massive gold bezel, an alternated steel and massive gold bracelet, and an option of silver or champagne dial.
3) Monaco Watch LadyThe iconic Monaco, the original square-cased chronograph, first seen on Steve McQueen's wrist in the 1970 car-racing classic "Le Mans", is the ultimate representation of TAG Heuer's innovative and daring spirit. Its retro-chic design is now regarded as an iconic horological accessory for fashion-forward women.
A feminine and modern interpretation of the Monaco original, the Monaco Watch Lady features the TAG Heuer Calibre 6 automatic movement, with a slightly downsized and sleeker case profile. True to its daring tradition, TAG Heuer created 3 exotic themes to adorn the Monaco Watch Lady collection: cream alligator, black python, or brown python.
4) Carrera and Monaco DenimTo showcase the TAG Heuer woman, TAG Heuer called upon Paris couturier Vincent Dupontreue´ to design a very sexy, feminine and trendy jean collection. Vincent Dupontreue´, whose exquisitely hand-distressed jeans are among today's most coveted collectibles, focused his attentions on the before mentioned iconic lines: Carrera and Monaco.
Available as a Carrera Watch, Carrera Chronograph or Monaco Chronograph, this trendy collection features distinctive denim straps by Vincent Dupontreue´ and very feminine white mother-of-pearl dials. As the top of the line of this exclusive collection, the Carrera Chronograph also features 70 Top Wesselton diamonds (total 0.78 carats) on its fixed bezel. Credit to: fashiontrendsletter
