Kith x Tag Heuer

I'm actually really excited for this. I'm hoping it's 40mm or less. I've wanted a TAG for a few years, just been waiting for the right piece. I hope this is something small or on the smaller side.

Colors look really fresh. I'm excited about this one

I’m pretty cynical about ‘streetwear collaborations’ but I think this one is at least going to look great. My cynicism is more on what the price tag (pun?) looks like.

·

It’s going to be a throw back to a 90s formula 1

I saw his Talking Watches episode and I respect his success, but am flabbergasted anyone would pay $300 for a tee shirt. It’s a plane of existence I’ll never understand.

If this is FR then I’m going to be eating the words I said earlier this year. “TAG is trying to go upmarket, they will never reissue the plastic F1 series, and if they do, it will be over $1000 and won’t sell” 😖

But if it's 43mm I'm passing, give me a smaller watch I can wear!! 😂

I’m sure it’s going to be close to the original size. But I’m sure it will be $1200+. I guess Breitling gets away with it with their Endurance Pro lol

Honestly if I were you, I would look at older 2000 series watches. Well under $1000 and 37.5mm!

That's a great looking watch, what reference numbers do you recommend?

I have a WK2116-1 and a WN1150. One is a 2000 Classic from 2004, and one is a 1999 Exclusive. One is an auto and the other is a quartz. I paid less than $600 a piece, and less than $400 for the Exclusive… and it has a solid 18k gold bezel… these are really slept on.

Here’s a really great read on the history and model references by one of my friends over on the TH forums. http://tagheuerenthusiast.blogspot.com/2022/01/history-heuertag-heuer-2000-series-1982.html?m=1

And my WN1150

No kidding, and agree. Purchased sneakers from them with an attempt to return them and the customer service is atrocious. Have to wonder about sustainability of that.

What's Kith? It sounds like someone with a lisp trying to pronounce a certain rock band.

It's like Supreme, but more expensive 🤣

·

Super exciting, but I can't help but think "Pizza Brand" at first glance of the logo lol

·

:0

This looks like the old school Formula 1 dials!

·

As a “sneaker head”, i should be excited but, I have a strong feeling this is going to be a plastic quartz Tag for $1500 USD 🤣.

Hell to the no! 🤣🤣🤣

I love Ronnie and happy to see this collab, as it’s super cool but, too rich for my bankroll.

·

Looking forward to seeing what this is all about. Looks like it's going to have the vibe of the original with the build and materials of the new ones. I'd be happy if it came in below £1000 but looking at both brands can't see it happening.

Don’t knock quartz.

People will pay out the nose for quartz accuracy and not all quartz movements are created equal. The ones TH use, from what I’ve read, are good and meant to be serviced.

I discovered these recently and would LOVE that. Unfortunately I know it would make my chances of affording a cool one even lower than they already are

Not knocking quartz at all haha

Most of my watches are quartz.

But, paying $1500USD for plastic and quartz? I am happy with my Casio or Timex quartz for under $200 USD.

I agree, I'm looking to spend <2000, I just hope it falls in that range.........that's what the wife approved 🤣🤣

I love the idea of TAG reconnecting with the original Formula 1 line—it was fun in a way no TAG has been since—but after watching the Talking Watches video with Kith's founder I couldn't possibly wear his name.

Yes got to be wife approved. I have been looking a classic second hand formula ones and the wife isn't to keen but she does like the look of the new ones so who knows. Problem is the new ones are more than I want to pay right now. 🤦

What did he say that you didn't like?

It wasn’t a specific thing so much as it was the vibe—the sunglasses on, the parade of boring hype-watches, the name-dropping, etc. I was intrigued at the beginning when he pulled out the TAGs, but by the end it was clear even that was all just to set up his colab with the brand. This is the corner of the watch community that I just can’t hang with—rich dudes waitlist-hopping for status symbols and no passion beyond “I want it, you’re gonna get it for me.”

Oh, and he said the M1 was “designed by Lamborghini.” Maybe that’s what pushed me over the top ;)

It launched! How is everyone feeling about $1500? I compiled some more info in a thread
