RETURN OF A LEGEND
Back in 1986, in what can only be deemed a watershed moment, Tag Heuer shook up the watch world with its Formula 1 collection, launching 20 colorful, budget-friendly models that became instant hits. These cult classics, originally priced under $400, evolved from simple fiberglass pieces to advanced chronographs with fancy automatic movements, all while keeping the motorsport spirit alive. Fast forward to today, and Ronnie Fieg, the mastermind behind Kith and the king of turning nostalgia into must-have modern memorabilia, has teamed up with Tag Heuer for a swoon worthy reissue of the iconic F1 watches. This collab boasts ten versions, with just under 5,000 watches up for grabs. We’re talking five stainless steel beauties (two with slick black PVD coatings) and five playful Arnite-cased gems. And for the real insiders, all-plastic models with blue and green bezels are Kith exclusives, available only in New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Toronto, Hawaii, Tokyo, and Paris. All models, featuring quartz movements and 200-meter water resistance like the originals, display Kith’s “Just Us” slogan on the dial and are co-branded with Kith replacing TAG in the logo a first of its kind for TAG Heuer, highlighting their effort to engage Gen Z consumers who are crucial to brands like Kith. tagheuer.com
