As you would expect from the world-class watch manufacturer, the Carrera CH1887 is made to exacting standards. It comes with bright orange highlighted dials to pay homage to McLaren's distinct colour branding, with the McLaren 1974 anniversary text inscribed to replace the original silver of previous watch editions. With precision and craftsmanship second to none, the Carrera runs on a CH1887 movement and has a stylish, tyre-tread-inspired strap, giving it a robust, sporty feel with a very distinctive motorsports edge. Excitement over the new watch was naturally high, with both TAG Heuer and McLaren enthusiasts keen to get their hands on this limited-edition masterpiece.
TAG Heuer went even further to make the launch a memorable one; as a special treat for members of the TAG Heuer driving club, it designed a unique entrance badge in the shape of a stopwatch. Just 1,500 of these badges were produced, with the festival's creator, Lord March, getting the uniquely engraved 1,500th edition. Esteemed TAG Heuer designer Christoph Behling wanted the stopwatch to be a symbol of the brand's racing history as well as a nod to its success as one of the world's leading chronograph watch makers.
The Goodwood Festival of Speed is a yearly event that features historic motor-racing vehicles, motorbikes and cars. For any motor-racing enthusiast, it is a huge event. The star attraction of the event is the 1.16 mile hill climb in the grounds of Lord March's Goodwood House in West Sussex. TAG Heuer is the timekeeper for the hill climb and Forest Rally Stage. The winner received the much-sought-after TAG Heuer Carrera watch.
The festival was founded in 1993. TAG Heuer began its official timekeeping duties at the event in 2011 and has extended its contract up to and including 2016. Watch fans will also be happy with this news, since sponsorships such as this normally signals the arrival of new watches. TAG Heuer will also have naming rights over the prestigious TAG Heuer drivers' club, which is an exclusive area of the event assigned for the elite of the motor-racing world.
