Maria Sharapova Launches The Tag Heuer Formula 1 Steel & Ceramic Watch In Japan

Filed under: Timepieces / Watches

The most exciting women's watch from Tag Heuer for 2010 has been the steel & ceramic version of their Formula 1 watch. Eagerly anticipated since its debut at Baselworld 2010, the lovely design mixes sport and elegance in a way that is easy to notice. The watch combines a steel and ceramic for the bezel and bracelet links, is available with both black or white ceramic elements. Because women like diamonds, the watch has a tasteful line of diamonds on the periphery of the bezel. The good looking watch (as I recall) isn't priced too bad at all. In the $2,000 - $3,000 range if memory serves me correct.

In Tokyo recently, Tag Heuer brand ambassador Maria Sharapova showed up to help debut the watch. Tag Heuer is extremely popular in Japan, and famous athletes like tennis player Maria Sharapova has always brought welcome attention to the brand and its products.

Filed under: Apparel, Jewelry, Celebrity Design

Your list of personal attributes might not include blonde, 6' 2" and mean-with-a-backhand. There might not be a Wimbledon trophy with your name on it. You might not even be Russian. But that doesn't mean you can't at least look like – kind of – the person who has all of those qualities. To do so, you should probably start with the Maria Sharapova Sunglass Collection by TAG Heuer Eyewear.

Designed by the Grand Slam winner herself, the collection includes aviator frames in motorsports-grade stainless steel, or thick, hand-polished, black acetate large-format frames. That latter variety is available in several trims: black with gray or gradated lenses; ivory frame with blue grey lenses; tortoiseshell with gradient brown lenses; and dark plum with gradient pink lenses. And so that there will be no doubt, her autograph is discreetly laser-etched into the ultra light, shatter-resistant, UVA- and UVB-protected lenses.

The collection goes on sale as of this month, retailing for $250.00 at TAG Heuer Eyewear retailers. Your road to the Grand Slam begins here, and once you've mastered the glasses you can work on that backhand...
