In 1955, Heuer (this was before “Tag’ was added to its name) created the Twin-Time, becoming one of the first brands to launch a GMT model displaying two time zones simultaneously. Since then, other major watch companies have gone on to develop their own travel timepieces, and the GMT watch has become more commonplace.
Tag Heuer later incorporated this practical and convenient function—an essential companion for the frequent traveller—into its Aquaracer, Autavia and Carrera collections.

Brice Lechevalier, founder and editor-in-chief of GMT, and Julien Tornare, CEO of Tag Heuer introducing the special edition Carrera Twin-Time Automatic GMT, limited to 24 pieces
As GMT Magazine, the Swiss partner of Tatler GMT, celebrates its 24th anniversary this year, LVMH Watches CEO Frédéric Arnault (formerly CEO of Tag Heuer) has agreed to create a Carrera with a GMT function, limited to 24 pieces—three of which are exclusively available to reserve for Tatler GMT readers.
Since its founding, GMT Magazine has enjoyed an excellent relationship with the manufacture. Watch the video above where Julien Tornare, the new CEO of Tag Heuer, introduces the watch.
A flagship collection that has just celebrated its 60th anniversary, the Carrera was a natural choice to mark GMT's milestone. The limited-edition Carrera Twin-Time Automatic GMT's distinctive features include a bronze dial (which is normally blue), a blue second hand (normally silver), a blue dual-time pointer (normally red), and a blue numeral “24” under the date. The GMT magazine masthead is discreetly placed above the date window.
