Our summer of blockbusters isn’t over yet. This August we’ve got another cinematic experience to look forward to. The movie GRAN TURISMO: BASED ON A TRUE STORY tells the unbelievable real-life adventure of a team of unlikely underdogs – a struggling working-class gamer, a failed former racecar driver, and an idealistic motorsport executive. Together, they risk it all to take on the most elite sport in the world. The film is an inspiring, thrilling, and action-packed story that proves that nothing is impossible when you’re fueled from within. As GRAN TURISMO: BASED ON A TRUE STORY is all about breaking conventions and achieving the seemingly impossible, it makes perfect sense that one of the main characters wears a TAG Heuer Monaco. In fact the Monaco collection’s tagline is literally ‘Squaring the circle’.

The square-shaped rebel has been worn by racing drivers, movie stars and rock idols. Its legend has grown over many decades. And this particular TAG Heuer Monaco is no different in its ability to attract greatness. An homage to its predecessors from the early 1970s, it exudes individuality and Swiss avant-garde. Beneath its striking façade, the timepiece is powered by the Heuer 02, a true statement of the brand’s legitimacy in the watch industry. It is also graced with a distinctive steel bracelet that will leave a glint in your eye.
