HISTORY: TAG Heuer Carrera Part Four (2019-2021)

 

Due to serious health issues, the legendary Jean Claude Biver stepped down as CEO of TAG Heuer making way for Stephane Bianchi, although he in turn would make way for Frederic Arnault less than two years later. Frederic would stay in the position for four years, eventually being promoted to CEO of LVMH Watches. 

2019-2020 CATALOGUE & DEALER CATALOGUE

2020 WATCHES

Understandably, given the global pandemic that hit in 2020 TAG Heuer pushed back some of their 2020 releases in 2021, but there was still plenty to go at. At the same time, due to contamination concerns TAG Heuer decided to remove their catalogue from the showrooms. But as the blog was now firing on all cylinders by this point this didn't really matter as I was well on top of everything that was being released. From this point watches would no longer be defined as catalogue or non-catalogue.
