The TAG Heuer Formula 1 Heuer 02 Fragment Design ref. CAZ201A.BA0641 is the second model resulting from the collaboration between TAG Heuer and Japanese designer Hiroshi Fujiwara. A limited edition of 500 watches, the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Heuer 02 Fragment Design has a price of Swiss Francs 6,000 / Euro 5,800 / US$ 6,150.
TAG Heuer unveiled today a new collector’s piece limited to only 500 units designed by Japanese designer Hiroshi Fujiwara and powered by the Heuer 02 manufacture movement.
The TAG Heuer Formula 1 Heuer 02 Fragment Design is the second model resulting from the collaboration between TAG Heuer and Fujiwara. The first creation, the Carrera Heuer 02 Fragment Special Edition, was a huge success.
Reflecting the motor-racing heritage of the brand (you can read its full history here), the new model takes inspiration from TAG Heuer’s C-case models from the 1960s and 1970s.
Water-resistant to 100 metres / 330 feet, the stainless steel case has a diameter of 44 mm and is enhanced by a fixed bezel in ceramic with a tachymeter scale.
Fujiwara stripped the watch’s architecture to the essentials, emphasising the tachymeter scale on the ceramic bezel and the two black embossed subcounters at 3 and 9 o’clock of the black opaline dial.
The black background offers the best contrast for the white lettering and logos - including “FRAGMENT” between 4 and 5 o’clock - and the date at 6 o’clock. The red accents used for the indexes and the lacquered central hand give the dial an extra pop.
On the case back, the in-house Heuer 02 movement is partially obscured by an eye-catching circular red sapphire crystal window. Boasting an 80-hour power reserve, this automatic chronograph movement beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and includes a column wheel and a vertical clutch.
The red sapphire case back features the logo of Fragment Design, and each piece is engraved with a unique limited-edition number from 1 to 500.
Fujiwara also designed a new five-row steel bracelet alternating polished and brushed finishes and secured to the wrist by a butterfly folding clasp.
A limited edition of 500 watches, the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Heuer 02 Fragment Design ref. CAZ201A.BA0641 will be on sale from 27 July 2020 but it is already possible to pre-order it from the brand's web site and boutiques. The price of the watch is Swiss Francs 6,000 / Euro 5,800 / US$ 6,150. tagheuer.com
