TAG Heuer recently held their first Haute Horlogerie exhibition at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Jumeira in Dubai during 11-12 October 2024. They showcased 23 watches from their heritage collection that “highlight the Maison’s storied past” and 18 avant-garde watches from their Monaco, Carrera, and Plasma collections that “demonstrate the brand’s unwavering commitment to innovation and craftsmanship.”

Guests at the exhibition had the fabulous opportunity to interact with the brand’s watchmaking team. They included Carole Kasapi, Strategy and Movements Director, Julien Delcambre, Lead Designer; and Laurent Kervyn, Haute Horlogerie Ambassador.
“This trio offered insights into the intricate craftsmanship behind each timepiece, the meticulous design process, and the heritage that spans over 160 years.”

Our Thoughts
Pictures from the venue.
Our Founder, Shivaum Punjabi, was very impressed with his experience at TAG Heuer’s Haute Horlogerie exhibition. I have been a guest at similar events in Singapore for Blancpain, Vacheron Constantin and few others. It is vital that watch brands host such events, as they are highly informative and educational. The opportunity to interact with a brand’s key team members is a real treat. They have immense long-term benefits for a brand and help keep existing and new customers “hooked.” Dubai, as a key global hub for watches, is the perfect location for such events.
