Hands-On: The Black Dial TAG Heuer Carrera 39mm ‘Glassbox’
At the end of the day, I might still opt for the blue dial, but I can see many enthusiasts going after this one with its hints of patina and general retro look. And look, this is not the first time TAG Heuer has paid homage to the past, but generally, it has reserved those instances for literal re-editions. I had a chance to sit down with brand CEO Frederic Arnault ahead of the London event and he said something very interesting to me about those releases when he noted, “We felt the potential was limited by the fact that [these watches] were viewed as vintage re-editions,” adding, “The thought became, ‘how can we continue to modernize it to make it the watch of today?'”
