Bringing together the worlds of luxury watchmaking and unparalleled car manufacturing, TAG Heuer and Porsche unveil the new TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 – Porsche Edition. Boasting a design inspired by the iconic all-electric Porsche Taycan collection, the timepiece has exclusive Wear OS features for Porsche owners, including information from your car which is directly displayed on the watch face. Nothing else comes close to connecting you to your Porsche like this timepiece.

RACING INSPIRED

The new TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 - Porsche Edition is dominated by the same frozen blue shade used in the iconic electric Taycan. Both the physical attributes of the watch, as well as its software, benefit from the usage of this appealing hue, including the watch pushers, the TAG Heuer shield on the black steel crown, the word Porsche at the bottom of the bezel, and the ‘100’ at the top. Apart from its distinct colour, the dial of the timepiece bears a motif inspired by printed circuit boards and racing circuits. The animated visual effect serves as a link between the aesthetic of TAG Heuer watches and the technology and speed associated with Porsche cars.

FACE OF EXCLUSIVITY

Dubbed ‘Circuit’, the exclusive face of the TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 - Porsche Edition is highlighted in frozen blue. The dial bears a design adopted from electrical circuitry, hence its name. This was chosen specifically as a nod to both the electric Porsche Taycan and the TAG Heuer Connected watch, as well as racing circuits. Three chronograph-style complications can be used to display information from the watch directly on screen, such as step counter and heart rate, or information drawn directly from compatible Porsche models. To do this, users should simply connect their watch to the car using the exclusive Wear OS My Porsche app on the watch.

ROYALLY CHARGED

With a large 45 mm diameter, the TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 - Porsche Edition displays information from compatible Porsche models directly on the watch face, including car battery percentage and total mileage. Light and sporty, the black titanium watch has a black ceramic polished bezel that features a dedicated scale from zero to 400, a distinct reference to the Porsche car’s speed, which can be used to read functions relating to the car or to display metrics like heart rate. The back of the timepiece is engraved with ‘TAG Heuer x Porsche’ around the LED heart rate sensor used for the watch’s fitness features.

HIGH-OCTANE MACHINE

Elegant and supercharged, the TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 - Porsche Edition runs on a customised version of Google’s Wear OS system. This allows the watch to offer a range of exclusive timers and sport and wellness apps which highlight TAG Heuer’s expertise in sports timing, including motorsports. To help you keep fit, it is equipped with a cutting-edge range of fitness features, including guided workouts built into the TAG Heuer Sport app on the watch. Compared to previous models, this new timepiece boasts a brighter screen, better contrast and a 30% longer battery life. Users can expect a full day’s battery life with moderate use.

MARK OF AN ICON

The TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 - Porsche Edition is undoubtedly a remarkable addition to TAG Heuer’s roster of Connected watches. To round off its impeccable features, the timepiece comes with a strap created to mimic the design used in the interior of Porsche cars. Crafted of carbon-like black calf skin with blue stitching, the strap can be likened to the leather finishing inside the car. Complete with a rubber base to enhance comfort and elevate the model’s sporty appeal, the strap is interchangeable, like all TAG Heuer Connected watch straps, and is accompanied by a spare black rubber version.
