Golf is generally considered a game of the elite and a passion of the aged. This notion has remained put for a very long time, but with younger payers adopting the sport, it is transcending with time into a youthful recreation. Malbon Golf has been an early adapter in this changing scenario with some fascinating smartwatches that infuse an unexpected twist and playful spirit on and off the course.

After giving the youth (and others who may fancy) a new perception of the game with streetwear-inspired watches, the brand has collaborated with TAG Heuer for a new interesting offering. The TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 45mm x Malbon Golf Edition is the latest smartwatch with a golf-focused approach that will have many heads turning not only for its looks and features but also for its considerably affordable price.

TAG Heuer Monaco brings back a beautifully sinister classic timepiece

Posted on by

This is one Dark Lord that fans of watches and racing will be glad to see make a modern comeback.

Luxury watches are often designed to exude an air of sophistication and class. In contrast, Sports watches, especially those inspired by race cars, have a distinct character of power and speed, much like the vehicles they’re patterned after. Somewhere in the middle lies a few exceptional timepieces that have made history thanks to their unconventional design and stunning looks. The 1974 Heuer Monaco “Dark Lord” is one such hot item, projecting an ominous and fierce visage back in the days when watches looked more luxurious and tame. To mark the end of the 2022 Monaco Grand Prix, TAG Heuer is reviving the Dark Lord, bringing the iconic look to the modern age with a few embellishments that easily sets it apart from the last time it set foot in this mortal realm.

Designer: TAG Heuer

The Monaco “Dark Lord” and its square body was already head-turners back in the days, becoming associated forever with motor racing. Its mostly black motif and devilishly handsome looks were also outliers during that era, cementing its position as one of the brand’s most iconic designs. Nearly half a century later, TAG Heuer saw it fit to bring the Monaco back into fashion, but rather than a simple revival, the luxury marque gives the Dark Lord a more modern appearance that, somewhat ironically, also gives it a less menacing face.

In a way, this 2022 Monaco is darker and blacker than before, encased in a sandblasted matte black DLC-coated Grade 2 Titanium body. Unlike its predecessor, however, the finishing extends to the crown, which still bears the TAG Heuer insignia, as well as to the two wedge-shaped buttons that flank it. A matte black alligator leather strap and matching black DLC titanium folding clasps complete the watch’s brooding facade.

Contrasting with this dark but dashing theme and providing a pinch of comforting color, TAG Heuer opted to use 5N rose gold plated handsets that stand out against the pitch-black main dial surface. The faceted indices share the same material and, unlike the 1974 Monaco, radiate outward rather than pointing inward. Together with the square chronograph and small-seconds subdial, this creates a more welcoming face, almost like an icon of the sun, which seems diametrically opposed to the watch’s “Dark Lord” moniker.

Flipping the watch over reveals even more of these contrasting design elements. The sapphire display window on the caseback reveals what makes the watch tick, TAG Heuer’s Calibre Heuer 02 Automatic chronograph movement. Highlighting this mechanism is the 5N rose gold signature wheel, which contrasts with the rest of the movement’s more mundane finish. Despite that window, the watch retains its 100-meter water resistance.

The TAG Heuer Monaco “Dark Lord” is a blast from the past, bringing back a moody yet striking design while adding a few elements of luxury more fitting a 2022 model. It doesn’t deviate significantly from the original in terms of broad strokes, but where it differs, TAG Heuer’s changes might invite a bit of discontent from long-time fans of the design. Thanks to the limitations of its period, the 1974 Monaco was available in very limited supply, but there doesn’t seem to be such restrictions with the new Dark Lord this time around. Presuming, of course, you have the funds to afford its unsurprisingly steep price.

TAG Heuer Formula 1 Senna Special Edition chronograph evokes the spirit of motor racing

Posted on by

Ayrton Senna was and will always be the legend of Formula-1, no matter how many champion drivers we see in our lifetime. That fateful day at the San Marino GP in 1994, if that fatal crash would not happened, he would have achieved unfathomable glory, if already he hasn’t already.

TAG Heuer has long been associated with the man’s laurels – after all, he is the heritage ambassador for the brand since my memory aids. The Swiss watchmaker has never even thought of letting go of the icon’s name, since 1988. The brand’s Formula 1 Special Edition unveiled last year is a testament to the bond.

Now the watchmaking pro has released yet another Formula 1 Senna Edition automatic chronograph which is powered by the in-house Calibre 16 automatic movement. The 44mm dial of the timepiece has the Senna’s “S” in red color at the 12 o’clock position on the ring of the sunray-brushed dial. Red accents dominate the watch’s face which is in honor of the highlighting hue on the racer’s first TAG Heuer watch. Along with the signature “S”, the 2 o’clock pusher and the crown also have the same hue.

There are three chronograph subdials for the hours, minutes, and seconds hand which all have a dark black azurage hue. Those rhodium indexes and hands get the luminescent Super-LumiNova coating which is not surprising. The date aperture is positioned at the 3 o’clock position, while the ceramic fixed bezel tachymeter goes up to 400 km/h which represents the speed the fastest circuit racing cars can achieve. Akin to all the previous watches by TAG Heuer, this one also has the typical 90s-styled S/EL bracelet (Senna used to sport it on his wrist) in brushed steel and typically shaped links. The previous Senna Formula 1 Edition had the leather strap, so there’s this major distinction between the two.

The 200 meters water-resistant automatic chronograph has a power reserve of 42 hours and a 28,800 bph beat rate. The caseback is also made in stainless steel with the Senna’s race driving silhouette adding that special touch. The TAG Heuer Formula 1 Special Edition watch can be bought right away from the watchmaker’s official online store for $3,550.

The previous TAG Heuer smartwatches have already proven to be more than just eye candies. The screen has been improved with better visibility especially under direct sunlight. An almost full-day battery can be expected for the larger model. To give you a picture, it can last for a whole day packed with activities including a couple of hours of walking, an hour of running, and five hours of golf.

The smaller 42mm model’s battery can also last a full day including wellness and an hour of running. The watch now comes with an altimeter so it can measure the altitude of a user’s location. To complete the look, you can choose the strap you want. It can be leather for a classic timepiece look and feel. You can settle for a rubber strap in your favorite color if you want a sporty look. A steel bracelet is also an option.

If you own a previous TAG Heuer Connected watch, you can join the brand’s trade-in program to get the latest Connected Watch Calibre E4. You will be asked to surrender your older watch and then receive credits that you can then use to purchase the newer model. The points or equivalent amount will be taken off the $2,600 starting price.
