Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco: Tag Heuer unveils two new Monaco timepieces
Tag Heuer is almost synonymous with the Monaco Grand Prix, serving as the official watch of the race since 2011 before it finally culminated as the title partner this year. The Formula 1 Tag Heuer Grand Prix de Monaco was thus the best setting to launch not one but two new Monaco timepieces, the iconic square sport watch that propelled Swiss manufacture to the forefront of timekeeping in motorsports.

The Tag Heuer Monaco Chronograph x Gulf features the instantly recognisable Gulf livery, its striking light blue and orange stripes paired with a case of grade-2 titanium, sandblasted for a tactile appearance. The white textile strap is made from fire-resistant Nomex, commonly used for professional racing suits. The fabric is sourced from the same American manufacturer that made the suits worn by Steve McQueen in the movie, Le Mans.
Limited to 971, it also draws from history for the movement—the legendary Calibre 11 with the winding crown on the left side of the watch.

The past also informs the Tag Heuer Monaco Chronograph Stopwatch, a timepiece that recalls the design of Heuer stopwatches. The dial features a black circular layout against opaline silver, as well as a red minute track along the perimeter—colours that emphasise its motorsports DNA.
