What I don’t quite understand is why TAG Heuer chooses to go Mario Kart rather than the brand’s most prominent wearer today, Max Verstappen. Remember that this has been done for decades, as Ingersoll and Mickey Mouse go back to the 1950s. Even when a watch has a substantial price tag, there’s still room to use a video game or comic character on it to each his or her own. Now, I understand that using Mario Kart is fun on a watch. Both watches will become available this month (October 2022). The Mario Kart Chronograph Tourbillion is water resistant to 100 meters. At 6 o’clock, you will see the tourbillon cage, showing Mario in his kart, a Spiny Shell, and Bullet Bill.
The dial is skeletonized, giving you a nice view of the Heuer 02T movement. Pretty awesome! The movement offers not only a chronograph and a tourbillon it has also been chronometer-certified by COSC. Additionally, the sapphire crystal on the back has been laser engraved with the Mario Kart logo. Its 45mm case is made of Grade 5 titanium, and the sapphire case back will show the Heuer 02T movement. The hardcore Mario Kart fans that want to own one of these will need to shell out € 24,750 ($25,600). Then, there’s the TAG Heuer Formula 1 × Mario Kart Chronograph Tourbillon, which is limited to 250 pieces. TAG Heuer Formula 1 × Mario Kart Chronograph Tourbillon The Mario Kart Chronograph is water-resistant to 200 meters. The price of this watch will be € 4,150 (US$4,300). The crown has the red “M” engraving on it, reminding you of the little plumber. You’ll find Mario in his kart in the 9 o’clock sub-dial on the dial, and - how fun! - the date aperture will regularly show items from the game instead of the date. The carbon-look dial has the classic caliber 7750 layout with sub-dials at 12, 6, and 9 o’clock. The 44mm case is made of stainless steel, and on the case back, you will find an engraving of the Mario Kart logo. The TAG Heuer Formula 1 × Mario Kart Chronograph is powered by caliber 16 (based on ETA’s 7750 or Sellita’s SW500) and is limited to “just” 3,000 pieces. TAG Heuer Formula 1 × Mario Kart Chronograph One is a Formula 1 Chronograph, and the other is a Formula 1 Chronograph with a tourbillon. It’s a great one, especially with two players, and it’s always a lot of fun.Īccording to TAG Heuer, the Connected × Super Mario LE that came out last year was such a must-have among fans that the brand decided to do two more limited editions with Nintendo’s plumber. Now that I have a Nintendo Switch in the house, I find myself playing the game with my daughter on rainy autumn days. Mario Kart is one of the later-discovered titles that I loved best - and I still do. Only later did I purchase a Nintendo and realize that I had missed some great classics.
