TAG Heuer’s Globetrotter Exhibition Kicks Off In Singapore
The effort seeks to celebrate the Swiss manufacture’s 150 years of history by having 10 different thematic exhibitions concurrently running in 10 different cities. These include: Paris – the classic Heuers; Geneva – the major inventions; Munich – the military watches; Venice – cars and timekeeping; Dubai – sailing and diving; Hong Kong – cars and drivers; Sydney – multisports, Tokyo – design through history; Miami – design and, last but very importantly, Singapore – Formula One.
What is most admirable about this global exhibition is that while it wouldn’t have taken too much for TAG Heuer to bring out the various timepieces out of their own museum, the manufacture has rather chosen to engage with the TAG Heuer collector base in each city to round up the various vintage Heuers necessary to form the assigned themes.
Singapore’s theme being Formula One meant that we here were treated to a bevy of Heuer chronographs ranging from various seasons in the manufacture’s history. From the famed Monza, the Autavia and even a gorgeous black dialed Dato 45, the watches gathered for the exhibition were dizzying. Suggesting, also, perhaps that there may be a stronger vintage Heuer community here than we give Singapore credit for.
He was wearing a vintage Monaco, which he shared was a watch he bought for himself at the conclusion of the television hit, Grey’s Anatomy.
