In the eye of TAG Heuer’s newest glasses
Versatility and wearable technology are hallmarks of this eyewear collection. The Shield Pro model offers interchangeable lenses, eliminating the need for multiple pairs of glasses for various activities and environments. This feature enhances the practicality and adaptability of the eyewear, catering to the diverse needs of the wearer.
The meticulous approach to design also places user comfort at the forefront. Each eyewear piece is carefully crafted with the ultimate goal of creating eyewear that practically disappears when worn. The materials work in harmony with each other to guarantee lightness and a tailor-made fit. For example, the stiffness of graphite is mitigated in areas where flexibility is required by elastic tendons just as in the human body muscles and tendons work with bones, and the nose pad is adjustable for the ultimate comfort. This focus on ease makes these glasses perfect for extended wear during dynamic activities or in daily life, ensuring a smooth experience for the wearer.
At the heart of these glasses are advanced bio nylon lenses, created to incorporate TAG Heuer’s high-contrast Specta technology and antidirt and hydrophobic treatment. This combination ensures unmatched comfort by countering infrared rays, reducing haze, and alleviating eye discomfort and strain. It also excels in eliminating a significant 37% of polarized light, banishing troublesome glare and ensuring crystal-clear readability on digital screens.
The introduction of precious metal, 24 carat gold and platinum-coated lenses by TAG Heuer is a groundbreaking move to enhance visual clarity.
Inspired by the world of racing, the deep-drawn avional innovation on Vingt-Sept represents TAG Heuer’s most up-to-date innovation – a significant breakthrough in the eyewear industry. It introduces the first-ever 3D metal frames, combining the strength and rigidity of metal with remarkable lightweight design. This advancement elevated the eyewear collection to new heights of style, sophistication and performance, all while providing 100% UV protection.
The Line model is very unique by the usage of materials such as the Dyneema® textile rope and 3D-printed titanium, two of the most challenging materials to work with, highly appreciated in the realm of mountain and aquatic sports for its durability. Dyneema® is renowned as the strongest fiber on the planet, even surpassing the strength of steel, reinventing the savoir-faire in the eyewear industry. When combined with 3D-printed titanium, TAG Heuer achieves a flexible bridge with a unique aesthetic appeal. The 3D printed titanium nosepiece is balanced by the Dyneema® thread, making the double bridge model flexible following the micro movements of the face for an ultimate comfort. This blend of materials adds a textile element to an area that traditionally features metal or plastic components, resulting in a truly innovative design.
The uniqueness of the materials used defines the colors of the products. The mix of graphite and bio nylon gives the frame a unique color and feeling, just as the texture of the long
fiber carbon creates a unique pattern. A new aesthetics where natural elements like cork and performance materials like titanium merge to create the beauty of performance. The absence of gluing or co-injections extends the product life cycle, making repair simple. It’s essential design for sophisticated simplicity. Details such as the use of a single screw that connects all the elements arise from the desire to concentrate the design on the essential.
Each design has its own unique features. The Shield Pro boasts elastic rubber frames for flexibility and comfort. The Vingt-Sept discreetly incorporates TAG Heuer’s logo inside the temples, in addition to its iconic hinge for increased performance. The Line eyewear showcases bold bridges using Dyneema® textile rope and 3D-printed titanium for flexibility and durability. Finally, the Flex eyewear integrates titanium inserts within the temples and hingeless, rimless frames, preserving the original glasses’ heritage and adding an element of elegance. Every piece of eyewear within the collection reflects TAG Heuer’s commitment to both style and functionality, seamlessly blending cutting-edge technology with avant-garde design to create eyewear that exceeds expectations.
For the rest of the materials, TAG Heuer Eyewear caters to all weather conditions and athletic performance. Precision is key, with every millimeter considered for a flawless fit and optimal vision. The range of resources utilized spans from cutting-edge metal performance aesthetics to innovative injected materials. These elements, including recycled materials such as cork and graphite along with carbon-based compounds, are thoughtfully selected to achieve a harmonious fusion of performance and style, adding to the unique craftsmanship of TAG Heuer. Drawing inspiration from the aerospace and Formula 1 industries, they are engineered to withstand the most challenging conditions, making TAG Heuer Eyewear the ideal choice for outdoor lovers and athletes alike.
