TAG Heuer Connected Modular 45 KINGSMAN Special Edition
During an exclusive preview of footage from the highly
anticipated Kingsman: The Golden Circle, the special edition
of the TAG Heuer Connected Modular 45 was unveiled
in London by Jean-Claude Biver, CEO of TAG Heuer and
President of the LVMH Group Watch Division, alongside
Kingsman: The Golden Circle Director, Writer and Producer
Matthew Vaughn.
The TAG Heuer Connected watch was personally chosen by
Matthew to be the timepiece of choice for his Kingsman agents.
Matthew Vaughn said: "For Kingsman: The Golden Circle, we
needed a connected watch for our agents. We looked at the
different options available, but none of them were elegant
enough for a Kingsman. Then I saw an interview on Bloomberg
TV with Jean-Claude Biver about his connected watch, and
it became immediately obvious; the Kingsman agents would
wear the TAG Heuer Connected."

Kingsman: The Golden Circle, pivotal to the success of the
Kingsman agents' missions. They needed watches that could

stunts. Film-goers will see the Kingsman agents wearing the
TAG Heuer Connected.
The Kingsman Special Edition reproduces the aesthetic adopted
by the agents in the movie: pink gold lugs and an elegant
leather strap with Kingsman print. The watch comes with a
second strap in orange velvet, inspired by the iconic orange
velvet smoking jacket worn in the film by Taron Egerton.
The key difference between the Kingsman Special Edition and
the core collection is in its dial functions. Available in either
midnight blue or grey, it bears the Kingsman inscription and
logo at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock. At 10:10, the dial vibrates for 10
