TAG Heuer Heritage Calibre Heuer 02 1972 Autavia Viceroy Re-Edition Watch
Here's a fun fact about the Heuer Autavia in 1972: it wasn't initially a good seller. But its slow acceleration to popularity-no thanks in part to a timely sales promotion with Viceroy cigarettes-does little to diminish the fact that it was, and still is, one of the best-looking automatic chronographs ever made. And after a pair of early Autavia reissues in 2016 and 2017, TAG Heuer‘s heritage collection has finally tapped into the Viceroy inspiration with the Heuer Heritage Calibre Heuer 02, a special re-edition of that sporty 1972 classic.A vintage Heuer ‘Super Autavia’ dashboard stopwatch.

Richard Mille RM 67-02 Alexander Zverev Edition Watch
Taking things to the extreme seems to be a mantra at Richard Mille. The brand is perhaps most famous for?outrageous price tags, but the engineering behind their pieces is equally impressive. Take the RM 67-02 for example. Made with high-tech ultra-light materials, this is an automatic watch that, including the strap, weighs a scant 32g! As a result, the RM 67-02 has become the timepiece of choice for many top athletes. One of the newest athletes to become associated with the RM 67-02 is rising tennis hotshot Alexander Zverev and this is his very own Richard Mille RM 67-02.Having only turned 21 just last month, Zverev is considered one of the hottest prospects in tennis and is currently ranked third in the world, behind Rafael Nadal (another Richard Mille ambassador) and Roger Federer. Already a friend of the brand, Zverev has been spotted wearing the RM 27-01 on a couple of occasions.
