At the tail end of 2023 TAG Heuer announced that Julien Tornare would move from Zenith (also in the LVMH group) to take over as CEO. Previous CEO Frédéric Arnault meanwhile would become 'Head of Watches' for the LVMH group with his remit covering brands such as TAG Heuer, Zenith, Hublot, Louis Vuitton and Bulgari.
2022 WATCHES
2022 was a strange year, as we were still living with the aftershocks of the pandemic. The watch industry was bubbling though, fuelled by people working from home for the first time (and thus saving commuting fees) and unable to go on holiday. This fuelled a luxury watch bubble which wouldn't burst until the beginning of 2024 when prices for super desirable pieces like the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and the Rolex Daytona fell sharply.

2023 WATCHES
2023 was of course the 'Year of the Carrera', marking as it did 60 years since the introduction of the first Carrera in 1963. To celebrate, TAG Heuer kicked off the year with the watch that literally everyone on the THF Forum had been crying out for for the previous 5 years... thus rendering the COCO Watch of the Year a foregone conclusion before the year had even really started.
