Tag Heuer x Mario Kart Limited Edition
Anyone thinking of purchasing the limited Tag x Mario Kart release? I admit the theme is a bit silly but can't help seeing how fun the watch is.
The tourbillon looks fun but not sure how desirable it will be at the 25k price range. Limited to 250 pieces. The LE chrono is limited to 3000 pieces and the prices is around $4300 MSRP. The Movement Caliber: Calibre 16 (Chronograph), 02T (Chronograph Tourbillon) Functions: Hours, minutes, seconds, date, chronograph (Chronograph); hours, minutes, seconds, date, chronograph, tourbillon (Chronograph Tourbillon) Power Reserve: 42 hours (Chronograph), 65 hours (Chronograph Tourbillon) Winding: Automatic Frequency: 4Hz Chronometer Certified: Tourbillon only Diameter: 44mm (Chronograph), 45mm (Chronograph Tourbillon) Case Material: Steel (Chronograph), Grade-5 titanium (Chronograph Tourbillon) Dial Color: Black and red Indexes: Applied Lume: Yes Water Resistance: 200m (Chronograph), 100m (Chronograph Tourbillon) Strap/Bracelet: Black leather strap with red stitching https://www.tagheuer.com/gb/en/new-t...mariokart.html |

The tourbillon is cute, I like it! Not 25k like, but it's great for the throwback video gamers.

Not really a fan of the collaboration. Watches look pretty good. I don’t really the the F1 Tourbillion..

Not a strong showing if the kid at the helm wants to be taken seriously.

I like the tourb, but 44mm too big for me!

I like Mario kart, but when the website told me to “wait for the Official Drop on October 20” … isn’t that what sneaker releases and hype clothing releases are called ?

I have been a fan of the game for a long time.
I like the execution of the tourbillon, but i don't like it "pay retail" much.

For some reason I had a flashback of redeeming my free silver Atari jacket after purchasing my 2600 console. Not sure these collabs are my cup of tea but to each their own.
Outside of the co-brand, I think the designs are ok. |

I'm an 80's child and have had a handful of friends who don't own mechanical watches mention this release in conversation, so I think this will be successful in the target market they are shooting for.
