In a defining move for both fashion and sport, LVMH has entered a landmark 10-year partnership with Formula 1. This collaboration isn’t just about visibility, it’s about rewriting the rulebook on how luxury brands engage in high-octane, global entertainment ecosystems.

The Formula 1 watch collection: hype, heritage, and heat

TAG Heuer’s Formula 1 Collection has generated major excitement in the watch community. On YouTube, Monochrome Watches’ video unveiling the collection saw an engagement rate of 178.01%, with fans commenting:

“The red one is awesome in person!”

“The F1 line has always been a gateway for new collectors – love to see this design.”
