The future of the luxury replica watch industry is either surely doomed, or assured for all eternity thanks to the increasing appreciation for the heritage of fine watchmaking. But just in case, TAG Heuer replica is playing both sides of the field with their new golf watch, all are depending on who you talk to.
Anyhow, TAG also unboxed a new Connected Modular 45 ‘Golf Edition’ watch. A sportier version of the Connected 45 collection that the fake TAG originally released with a cameo in the last Kingsman movie, it’s billed as a combination of advanced watchmaking with golf-friendly technology, for those looking to improve their performance on the links. 
That’s the new TAG Heuer Golf app which features 3D renderings of more than 39,000 courses, designed to be the best tool for enthusiasts of the sport. “Every part of the smartwatch and the app – from design to function – was made to better enhance the player’s game,” says TAG Heuer Project Manager, Matthieu Soudan. “And of course, the watch is a stylish accessory that features cutting-edge digital technology.” The replica TAG Heuer Connected Modular 45 ‘Golf Edition’ combines a golf-inspired design and shock-resistant materials, featuring a black ceramic bezel that is engraved with a scale of 1 to 18 indicating the number of holes in a round of golf.
The watch’s touchscreen is covered with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and it’s decorated with several sensors including GPS, NFC, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and a microphone. What’s more, it has the function of sending messages, receives notifications, plays music, and download other apps. The luxury smartwatch movement is still in its infancy and the replica TAG is actually aiming to carve out a fair-sized market share.
One could even state that the Connected Modular 45 ‘Golf Edition’ is “the 21st century equivalent of the original vintage sports watches from the 1950s and 1960s that are now so greatly respected by collectors,” notes one industry observer. And while this fake watch will never be a collector’s piece, it may yet mark a historical milestone in hybrid watchmaking and marketing.
So no matter if you’re into TAG’s re-issued and re-created heritage designs, which are actually mid-century sports cheap replica watches, or their advanced sport-specific smartwatches just like this one, which is more next-century, there’s no denying the brand is embracing both the future and the past and hoping that both can flourish and coexist.
