Formula 1 has had an undeniable influence on fake watch culture, right from the very beginnings of the sport. It helped create icons like the perfect replica TAG Heuer Monaco, Rolex Daytona and Richard Mille, and its effect on the watch game shows no signs of slowing down – Lewis Hamilton’s “accidental” strut with an unreleased 1:1 replica IWC Big Pilot perpetual calendar strapped to his wrist is all the proof you need. Ahead of the octane circus restarting in Bahrain next weekend, we thought we’d revisit the wrists of F1 stars and lists of sponsors for their respective teams. There have been exciting changes and new additions, so let’s get right into it, in order of Constructors’ Championship standings from last year.
Red Bull and Fake TAG Heuer
The team that had the single most dominant season in the history of the sport last year continues their partnership with luxury replica TAG Heuer. Coincidentally, TAG Heuer also had a belter of a year in 2023, so it makes sense for the two to stick together. While 2023 yielded some special stuff from both factories, I’m really looking forward to any potential collaborations between the two for this year – something like the Dark Lord from a few years back. If I may offer a suggestion: now the aaa quality fake TAG Heuer Monza has been revived, a limited-edition Red Bull collab dropping on the weekend of the Italian Grand Prix would do nicely.
Mercedes and Replica IWC Schaffhausen
There’s something about this Mercedes and Swiss movement replica IWC partnership that just makes sense. The combination of high-tech endeavours and Teutonic attention to detail has produced many a collab in the past, from the Petronas F1 Team edition to the very noticeable G-Wagen IWC Big Pilot fake for men. This year is also likely to be Lewis Hamilton’s final as ambassador for the brand considering his move to Ferrari in 2025 (still not over that), and I have an inkling we’ll look back at his signature special edition pieces with nostalgia in less than 12 months. As for the F1 team, they’ve got the most to prove in terms of performance this season. We’re not used to seeing Mercedes struggle as much as they have recently, and it looks like they’re already masterminding their way to supremacy with that controversial front-wing solution.
