TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 - Porsche Edition

TAG Heuer and Porsche today launch the new TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 - Porsche Edition, a luxury connected timepiece inspired by the design of the iconic all-electric Porsche Taycan collection, with exclusive Wear OS features for Porsche owners where information from their car is displayed directly on the watch face.

The watch follows the launch of the TAG Heuer x Porsche Carrera Chronograph, which celebrated the two companies’ rich history of motor racing heritage and the launch of a global partnership in 2021. Since 2015, TAG Heuer has been an unmissable player in the luxury smartwatches category, and the TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 - Porsche Edition offers Porsche owners and fans access to TAG Heuer’s ever-growing ecosystem of exclusive sports, wellness apps and elegant watch faces. Both the physical watch and the software have design features in the same shade of frozen blue used in the iconic electric Taycan, which evokes the car’s exterior.

Wearers of the TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 - Porsche Edition will have access to an exclusive watch face, available only to owners of the special Porsche smartwatch.

The watch face was inspired by printed circuit boards and racing circuits, offering an animated visual effect which connects TAG Heuer watches and Porsche cars with a feeling of technology and speed.

The watch also offers complications which display information from compatible Porsche models directly on the watch face, such as car battery percentage and total mileage.

Frédéric Arnault, CEO of TAG Heuer says, ‘For both TAG Heuer and Porsche, the thrill of driving is part of our heritage, and this watch celebrates the fearless spirit of both Maisons - as well as highlights the sustainable innovation of the Taycan. This watch evokes many of the passions we share - high performance, technological innovation and our love for unique and unmatched products.’

Detlev von Platen, Member of the Executive Board for Sales and Marketing at Porsche AG, says, ‘This product highlights the natural synergy of our two brands: both fearless and disruptive in their respective fields, and both devoted to delivering unparalleled experiences to our customers. Our brands have led the way in embracing new technologies: just as TAG Heuer has led the luxury watch world in terms of embracing smartwatch technology, so Porsche’s sports cars such as the allelectric Taycan innovate in their field.’

The watch’s design is filled with numerous features which evoke Porsche’s blue Taycan, with a large 45-mm case in black titanium, highlighted with details in the distinctive frozen blue metallic shade seen on the car.

The case is sandblasted black titanium, giving the watch a light, sporty feel and the black ceramic polished bezel has a dedicated scale going from zero to 400, referencing the Porsche car’s speed, which can be used to read functions relating to the car or to display metrics like heart rate.

The black steel crown surrounded with black rubber is highlighted with the TAG Heuer shield in frozen blue lacquer, and the pushers also carry the same iconic blue shade. At the bottom of the bezel, the word Porsche is highlighted in frozen blue, as is the ‘100’ at the top.

The watch’s titanium case back is engraved with ‘TAG Heuer x Porsche’ around the LED heart rate sensor used for the watch’s fitness features.

The watch’s strap is built to evoke the iconic design used in the interior of the Porsche cars. Designed in carbon-like black calf skin with blue stitching, it echoes the leather finishing inside the car in both color and structure.

The watch’s strap has a rubber base for a comfortable and sporty wear. As with all TAG Heuer Connected watches, the strap is interchangeable, with a spare black rubber version inside the box.

The TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 - Porsche Edition watch comes with an exclusive watch face, ‘Circuit’, only available to owners of the watch. A Porsche watch face has been available for previous TAG Heuer Connected watches, and has proved hugely popular with customers. The new ‘Circuit’ watch face is highlighted in frozen blue, with a design inspired both by electrical circuitry (in a nod to both the electric Taycan and the TAG Heuer Connected watch itself) and to racing circuits.

Three chronograph-style complications can be used to display information from the watch directly on screen, such as step counter and heart rate, or information drawn directly from compatible Porsche models. 

Compatible models include the Panamera (G2 II models from 2022 onwards), Panamera (G2), 911 (992 models from 2022 onwards), 911, Cayenne (E3 models from 2022 onwards), Cayenne (E2 II), 718, Macan II/III, Macan, Taycan.

Users of the watch who own a compatible Porsche model (listed above) will be able to connect their watch to their car, and see information displayed in ‘complications’ on the watch face. To do this, users simply connect their watch to the car using the exclusive Wear OS My Porsche app on their watch. There are four complications available at launch. The first shows how much is left in the car’s battery, and works with both all-electric Porsche model and plug-in hybrids.
