A line of TAG Heuer and Aston Martin chronographs have just been announced at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, and are known as the TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 01 chronograph and the TAG Heuer Formula 1. The automaker's team worked closely with Tag Heuer to design the timepieces, which both feature inspiration from the shapes, colors, patterns and materials of Aston Martin Sports cars.
