Last year, in 2021, the Swiss Watchmaker TAG Heuer joined forces with Nintendo and released their TAG Heuer x Super Mario Limited Edition watch which quickly became a must-have among fans. Today, their collaboration is back with two super fun limited-edition mechanical watches: TAG Heuer Formula 1 x Mario Kart Limited Editions (Chronograph and Chronograph Tourbillon).
Fans of the joyful, daring Super Mario will recognize their favorite character on the cover of one of TAG Heuer’s legendary collections, this time dedicated to racing. The two never-before-seen designs were created with the TAG Heuer and Nintendo teams to customize every detail of these pieces. The clocks highlight the same concepts as the TAG Heuer Formula 1 watch collection and the Mario Kart series: adrenaline, speed, and victory.
The TAG Heuer Formula 1 X Mario Kart Limited Edition chronographs, two unmissable highlights of TAG Heuer’s limited editions in 2022, definitely present Mario fans worldwide with open innovation, fresh flair, and top watchmaking performance.
Talking about joyful and playful watches, IFL Watches also offers a range of watches with playful designs. Curious? Check out IFL Watches CasiOak watch collection.
