This week, Jewels & Time 2020 talks about "Everyday Heroes", casting the spotlight on this year's workhorse watches. With minor aesthetic tweaks and 80 hours of power reserve, the new Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph is leading the charge to be one of the daily tickers to be sported on your wrists
Tag Heuer celebrates its 160th anniversary this year. And what better to mark a momentous moment than refreshing its flagship collection, the Carrera? Launched in 1963, the chronograph is named after the legendary Carrera Panamericana race. Carrera is Spanish for “road”, “race”, “career” and “course”, and in 1962, then-CEO Jack Heuer felt that it made sense for the name of a new watch collection. A year later, the new watches left the manufacture, and the rest, as they say, is history.
