TAG Heuer TH02M smartphone hits the FCC, is appalled by the service
Three years after unveiling the $5,000 aluminum phone you didn't ask for, TAG Heuer is working on another excessive creation. ModeLabs, which has brought you many a hideous and overpriced Versace handset, just filed an FCC test report for a smartphone bearing the Swiss watch maker's name. It's unclear how gaudy (or practical) the so-called TH02M will be, but the doc does reveal that it's built to run on the GSM 800MHz and 1900MHz bands and also supports HSPA+ connectivity. For the money, it also includes table-stakes features such as Bluetooth and 802.11n WiFI. No word yet on pricing, of course -- not that we think your phone budget has expanded that much since the recession.
TAG Heuer and Tesla Motors team up to show off products you can't afford
The Tesla Roadster runs on batteries, and so too do (many) TAG Heuer watches. It's out of this obvious correlation that the TAG Heuer Tesla Roadster was born, a one-off special edition skinned in some unfortunate graphics then blessed with an extra slot in the center console for a similarly spendy Meridiist phone. There's also room in there for a one-fifth second analog Heuer Limited Edition Stopwatch, which sounds like a very useful addition indeed. Those attending Geneva Motor Show later this week will have a chance to see this (otherwise stock) car in-person, while the rest of us will have to make do with the gallery of photos below, which truly shows that "technology -- whether worn on your wrist or driven on the road -- can help us live better while we tread more lightly on this planet." These words courtesy of Elon Musk, who can surely be seen at the show wearing a giant piece of wrist-borne chronography. %Gallery-86723%
TAG Heuer Meridiist Lamborghini model announced, snickered at
In the market for an over-priced luxury handset? Do you equate luxury with a brand name, snakeskin, perhaps even a feature phone with all but the barest of "features?" You're in luck! Once again looking to give Vertu a run for its money, Tag Heuer has upped the ante with its newest, the Meridiist Automobili Lamborghini. In addition to that world famous 1.9-inch sapphire crystal display, 2 megapixel camera, media player, Bluetooth, and roughly seven hours of talk time, this guy throws the Lamborghini logo into the mix. Available in a limited edition of 1963 (the date that its namesake was first sold), look for it sometime this month at selected TAG Heuer and Lamborghini retailers -- which we're sure you frequent anyways. PR after the break.
