A new collaboration between TAG Heuer and fragment designer Hiroshi Fujiwara reinvents the Carrera with a sleek monochrome twist. The Carrera Chronograph x fragment Limited Edition marks the continuation of TAG Heuer’s creative alliance with Hiroshi Fujiwara, the influential Japanese designer behind the label fragment. 
Based on the 39mm Carrera Chronograph “Glassbox” platform introduced in 2023, this new edition combines Fujiwara’s minimalist ethos with the retro-modern architecture of TAG Heuer’s signature chronograph. Limited to 500 pieces, the watch is a study in monochrome contrast and restrained design, fusing functionality with a subtle visual edge.
The case of the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph x fragment Limited Edition measures 39mm in diameter and 13.9mm in thickness. Made from stainless-steel, it features alternating brushed and polished surfaces that enhance its sleek, modern profile while honoring the Carrera’s longstanding motorsport legacy. The sharply defined lugs, clean casebands, and softly domed sapphire crystal combine to give the watch a refined yet technical silhouette. A curved white flange bearing a silver tachymeter scale frames the dial under the crystal, echoing the jet-age styling of vintage Carreras through a contemporary lens.
Around back, a sapphire crystal exhibition window offers a clear view of the movement. The rotor has been redesigned in a shield shape and personalized with bold black graphics, as a visual reinterpretation of the TAG Heuer logo by fragment founder Hiroshi Fujiwara. Around the caseback perimeter, the engraved Victory Wreath pays tribute to Jack Heuer’s tradition of gifting gold Carreras to victorious racing drivers, a gesture that turned this emblem into a lasting symbol of motorsport prestige and success.
It comes equipped with a knurled setting-crown embossed with the TAG Heuer shield, flanked by polished pump-style chronograph pushers at 2 and 4 o’clock for smooth tactile control. Water-resistance can reach up to 100 meters (330 feet), ensuring everyday robustness without compromising the design’s clean lines or historic inspiration.
The dial of the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph x fragment Limited Edition presents a striking black-and-white contrast that feels both minimalist and purposeful. Executed in matte black opaline, the surface subtly absorbs light, creating a velvety texture that complements the silver-tone markings throughout. 
The tri-compax layout includes a 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o’clock, a 12-hour counter at 9 o’clock, and running seconds at 6 o’clock, all neatly recessed and finished with radial grooves. A white printed TAG Heuer logo and date window at 12 o’clock complete the vertical symmetry.
Framing the dial is a curved white flange that houses a silver tachymeter scale, tuned in a lighter shade of grey to maintain legibility without overpowering the composition. The flange and crystal construction, known as the “glassbox”, lends the dial a deep, immersive feel, drawing attention to the layering and balance of its graphical elements. Hiroshi Fujiwara’s lightning bolt fragment logo appears discreetly at 4:30, reinforcing the collaborative nature of the design without disrupting the Carrera’s classical symmetry.
The faceted hour and minute hands are rhodium-plated and filled with white Super-LumiNova for strong visibility in low light. The chronograph seconds hand is also rhodium-plated and lacquered for clarity and contrast. Applied indices remain polished and cohesive with the rest of the dial’s monochrome elements, emphasizing legibility and cohesion. Altogether, the dial achieves a delicate balance between avant-garde branding and classic motorsport functionality, a contemporary reinterpretation of mid-century tool-watch aesthetics filtered through Fujiwara’s modernist vision.
