The Duel: Lewis Hamilton vs. Steve McQueen
The Duel
Lewis Hamilton vs. Steve McQueen
To help mark the 40th anniversary of their Monaco timepiece, TAG Heuer has put together this video featuring the iconic American badass Steve McQueen versus the current F1 Champion Lewis Hamilton in a CGI race. The video features Hamilton in his Mercedes Benz F1 and Steve McQueen in his Porsche 917K (from his 1970 movie Le Mans). The watch was originally conceived in 1969 as a tribute to the Monaco Grand Prix and was revolutionary at the time with its automatic movement and square-cased chronograph. The Monaco’s popularity grew immensely with McQueen’s endorsement on the big screen in Le Mans and would subsequently be associated with McQueen despite many years after his passing.
