Hey everybody, here is Ron Gordon; as you know, I watch the watch industry closely and am very interested in new developments, especially for one of our major brands, TAG Heuer. In this city where time runs more rapidly than anywhere else, I’d like to talk about something that fits that exciting pace and harnesses the energy of solar power to make a watch that combines old and new technology and style. I’m talking about the new TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph collection; as you can imagine, the watches in the collection use solar power for charging. Each watch harnesses the cultural “wave” of interest in alternative energy. TAG Heuer has also gone back to its roots with this exciting watch. Remember that the Formula One line started in 1986 and was known for its bold colors and reliable quartz movement. The initial versions made it accessible, fun, and cool for a younger crowd who wanted Swiss quality that was bold but not stodgy. If you fast forward to today, you can see that TAG Heuer is blending that same energy into today’s solar technology, harnessing the buzz around eco-friendly power sources.
The new TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph sports a 38mm size, which is excellent whether you’re wearing it to a midtown meeting or spending a weekend in downtown New York City. The watch charges with any light source, not just the sun. One minute of light gives you a full day of power (!), and once fully charged, the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph can run up to 10 months. That’s amazingly energy efficient. This can even happen in complete darkness, so a little solar power goes a long way.
TAG HEUER STYLE
As for available color schemes, there are vibrant red, blue, green, and yellow rubber straps for those who want to make a statement with color. There are more understated sandblasted seal options for those who are looking for a classic everyday watch that can handle the interface between business and pleasure. You can also choose between rugged TH-Polylight bio-polyamide cases, black DLC-coated steel, or sandblasted stainless steel. You can mix and match, so the watch really matches your style. The watch dials are all about energy and color. Some are sharp white with playful color accents. Others are deep black or even cool blue. The bold hour markers and watch hands have Super-LumiNova for easy reading, no matter where the day or night takes you in this city that never sleeps.
FUN AND FUNCTION IN A WATCH
The watch is a nice mix of fun and function. It feels very at home here in New York City, where practicality and style go hand in hand. In addition, here are some cool touches I really appreciate about the watch. The solar movement means no battery charges, which is a big deal if you use your watch daily. The watch is also built to be tough, with 100m of water resistance, making it great for swimming, and it has a strong bracelet or strap, depending on your choice. Whether you’re out running errands in New York City, hitting the gym, or traveling, this is a watch you can rely on for everyday use.
This is a very economical value for a Swiss-made watch packed with this much technology and backed by the TAG Heuer brand. Indeed, as someone who has repaired more tag Hoyer watches than I can count in my midtown Manhattan watch repair shop, it’s great to see a brand stay connected to its history while harnessing new trends such as environmentally-conscious power generation.
