Product Details

Internationally acclaimed for their leadership in sports watches, TAG-Heuer is legendary for their dedication to building accurate and high-performance timepieces. Embraced by world-class athletes, race drivers, aviators, and anyone who demands the utmost in performance from their wristwatch, the company's watches rank among the most recognizable luxury watches in the world.

Named the Kentucky, presumably suggestive of America's most famous horse race, the case is done in the shape of a horseshoe. The watch was a short lived model, made only for approximately two years.

Born from the partnership of two of the world's most respected timing companies, Heuer and Valjoux, this special Heuer is powered by an edition of the famous Valjoux 7750 movement. Renowned for its robustness, this mechanism is still used today by TAG Heuer, Breitling, and other firms.
