Is it real? A buyer’s guide to spotting a fake TAG Heuer
Author: John Wallis - August 29. 2018

Lamborghini Aventador and Rolex Daytona: What if watches were cars?
Author: Murray Clark - August 01. 2018
Cars and watches may seem about as compatible as Donald Trump and Angela Merkel. But think about it.

If you go top level, they’re not really that far removed in price either. Plus, watch manufactures have made a habit of partnering with automobile companies for years: Oris for F1 Team Williams, Parmigiani for Bugatti and of course, TAG Heuer for Steve McQueen. Though remember, we’re talking real cars, not a carpool-friendly Peugeot 206. continue reading
