Going into the fifth year of partnership, TAG Heuer and Porsche on occasion of LVMH Watch Week 2025 unveils the new TAG Heuer Carrera Chronosprint x Porsche Rallye. This is a limited-edition release honouring the unique legacies of the two maisons, combining Porsche’s indomitable 911 with TAG Heuer’s renowned expertise in precision chronographs.

These new timepieces are inspired by historic Heuer dashboard times that were critical to success for competitors in the historic Monte Carlo Rally, one of the most prestigious and challenging events in the world of motorsport.

The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronosprint x Porsche Rallye is powered by the in-house TH20-08 Chronosprint movement, a chronograph that offers an impressive 80-hour power reserve. The chronograph module of the TH20-08 is unique to the Porsche partnership, with its two snail-shaped wheels resulting in the central seconds hand completing the first 15 seconds of every stopped minute at an accelerated pace, before slowing to complete the loop of the minute perfectly. A Porsche steering wheel-shaped rotor, visible through the sapphire glass caseback, forms another striking connection between the timepiece and the car’s engineering heritage.

The design of the watch draws inspiration from the Heuer dashboard timer present in the Porsche 911 “147” in 1965 and echoing elements of early Porsche dashboards. The black dial, a nod to the Heuer Master Time / Monte Carlo stopwatches from 1965, enhances legibility with its strong contrast and legibility, an essential element in the context of racing in low visibility conditions. Beige markings reference the original car’s steering wheel, while the dial’s finish evokes the shimmering effect of its bodywork, adding a refined touch.

The red lines on the right side of the flange are a graphical representation of speed, paying homage to the 0 to 100 km/h sprint achieved by the 1965 Porsche 911 “147” during the Monte Carlo Rally, calculated acceleration of 8.4 seconds—an improvement over the initial 1963 901’s time of 9.1 seconds. Intricate detailing on the dial brings the watch full circle. The azuré subdials, with contrasting silver rings, add visual depth. The TAG Heuer Carrera double glassbox construction on both the front and back of the timepiece, allows for an uninterrupted view of the movement along with improving its ergonomic profile, ensuring comfort and seamless wearability. The front sapphire dome elegantly frames the dial, while the caseback reveals the Porsche-inspired rotor.

The steel version comes with a classic H-shaped bracelet and an additional black perforated leather strap with beige stitching, and is limited to 911 pieces. The gold version made from 18K 3N solid yellow gold and paired with a black perforated leather strap with beige stitching and an additional light brown perforated calfskin strap, allowing for personalization, is limited to 11 pieces.
