The TAG Heuer Globetrotter exhibition opens in Dubai Mall until September 30. It is one of ten simultaneous exhibitions across the world, each with a specific theme focusing on a major aspect of the brand’s heritage. For each participating boutique, TAG Heuer has chosen one key local collector to select twenty pieces to be exhibited alongside twenty pieces from the TAG Heuer Museum. This unique concept from the Avant-Garde Swiss watchmakers will showcase a total of 400 pieces across 10 countries for two weeks.
TAG Heuer’s Dubai exhibition is aptly centred around sporting themes of yachting, regattas, sailing and diving, reflecting the brands close links with sea, and the UAE’s historical relationship with the Arabian Gulf. The brand patented the invention of one of the first water-resistant cases for a pocket watch over 120 years ago, and subsequently went on to establish the world's first chronograph with a dial for regattas and tide level indicator. The Seafarer or Maréograph, the world’s first chronograph with tide indicators, created in 1950, will act as the centrepiece of the Dubai exhibition.
