![]() ![]() The TAG Heuer X Mario Kart Automatic Chronograph The result is very much TAG Heuer, focused on racing and motorsport, but with a new and fresh playful personality. Surely, this will be a segmenting pair of watches, which won’t necessarily appeal to a wide audience, but having seen them in the metal and on the wrist, the distinctive elements are present but not overly done. And, of course, there are tons of dedicated Mario Kart elements and customised parts on the dials and cases. What we’re looking at here is a pair of TAG Heuer Formula 1 models, but not just any kind, since both come with new design elements or new mechanics, which have never been used in past collections. Yes, it might seem rather unexpected, but indeed, Mario Kart is all about adrenaline, speed, competitiveness, or, in a nutshell: racing! Just with a different approach than classic F1 or Formula E. Now, the chips and screens are gone and replaced by classic mechanical movements, but the whole light-toned spirit is still alive. ![]() This pair of Formula 1 limited editions marks the second instalment in the TAG Heuer x Mario Kart story, following last year’s TAG Heuer Connected model, which became a hit in stores and a must-have for true Mario Kart aficionados (and there are a lot of them).

Something about one of the most emblematic characters and video games of the last 30 years?
