Renowned Swiss luxury watchmaker TAG Heuer, a subsidiary of LVMH, might have ceased the production of its illustrious line of Connected smartwatches. While neither TAG Heuer nor LVMH has officially confirmed the reports, media speculation alludes to a possible discontinuation of this decade-old venture. Reports from La Lettre, CioBulletin, Android Authority, and Notebookcheck suggest that the manufacture might have been officially halted over the summer of 2026.
From the outset, this extraordinary range was launched amidst great fanfare in midtown Manhattan in 2015. The product was never short on quality and is often considered as one of the finer specimens in the smartwatch market. However, enticing consumers away from established brands like Apple and getting them to adopt TAG Heuer’s timepieces, which unlike the timeless mechanical watches, had a shorter product lifecycle, proved challenging.
Renowned for marrying exquisite complications with minimalist design, H. Moser & Cie. never fails to surprise connoisseurs. Their latest offering unfurls their mastery again in the form of a new line, which emerges as a cross-pollination of elegance and athleticism. For the articulation of this vision, a famed partner steps into the scene – the explosive American football player Saquon Barkley. Branded as the Pioneer Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton Aventurine Saquon Barkley, the watch marks a language of its own through a trifecta of sports, luxury, and horology.
Emanating from the robust steel case of the brand’s sportier series, this watch retains the signature details of its predecessors. It has 42.8mm diameter, offering an ample display of mechanics. The case’s thickness of 11.7mm, or 15.3mm with the domed sapphire crystal, asserts its prominent stature. Included is a screw-in crown engraved with Moser’s emblem and offering water resistance of 120m.
