Wempe Signature Collection x TAG Heuer Carrera

Wempe, in collaboration with TAG Heuer, presents the „Carrera Chronograph Wempe Signature Collection“. Limited to 50 pieces, this chronograph combines the design language of the „Carrera“ with the signature style of the Hamburg-based jeweler.

The „Wempe Signature Collection“ is based on iconic models from the world of watches. The Hamburg-based family business draws on its extensive knowledge of its customers' expectations, demands, and desires, collaborating with select watch brands to create these pieces. The result is exclusive, limited editions available only at Wempe stores worldwide and in the Wempe online shop.

Inspired by the legendary Carrera Panamericana race, Jack Heuer wanted to create a watch that combined exceptional legibility, technical excellence, and clean lines. The result was the "Carrera," launched in 1963, which has become TAG Heuer's flagship watch line. It also represents the brand's close ties to motorsport. For example, TAG Heuer has been the global watch partner of Formula 1 since last year.

Carrera Chronograph Wempe Signature Collection

With the revival of the glassbox design, TAG Heuer is returning to the design of earlier "Carrera" versions. The domed sapphire crystal, which seamlessly surrounds the dial and scale, ensures exceptionally comfortable legibility and gives the watch a striking presence on the wrist.

The „Carrera Chronograph Wempe Signature Collection“ features a 39-millimeter stainless steel case with a silver-colored dial and applied indices. In contrast, red accents on the chronograph hand and the subdial hands add subtle, sporty touches. The two-counter layout underscores the timepiece's functional clarity. The Wempe Carrera is worn on a dark blue leather strap with a folding clasp.

Inside, the automatic, meticulously finished chronograph caliber TH20-00 operates with a power reserve of up to 80 hours. It is visible through the sapphire crystal display back in the screw-down case back. This case back also bears the limited edition engraving "One of 50" and the inscription "Wempe Signature Collection".

Kim-Eva Wempe explains the significance of the "Carrera" for Wempe and the shared history of both companies:

„For me, the TAG Heuer ‚Carrera‘, with its minimalist design and uncompromising commitment to precision, is a wristwatch that will last for generations. We have been carrying the Swiss watch brand since 1953. The work of Jack Heuer, under whose leadership the Carrera was created as a tribute to motorsport, was particularly influential in our partnership. It is functional, clear in its design language, and highly expressive.“
